Holi is a festival of colour, and chaos, and the annual realisation that your “I’ll stay clean this year” plan was, once again, delusional. While the all-white outfit is a tradition, your sneakers are where you can really get creative. Whether you’re dodging water balloons, running for cover from that one overly enthusiastic friend with a bucket, or just flexing for the post-Holi afterparty, a statement sneaker is non-negotiable. From pre-splattered kicks to vibrant throwbacks, here are the best sneakers to step into Holi like you own the festival.
