For too long, women's sneaker options in India were limited to pink versions of men's shoes. That era is thankfully over. Today, women have access to some of the best sneaker designs and colourways — many of which are exclusive to women's sizing. Here are our top picks for 2025.
For Everyday Wear
Nike Dunk Low (Women's Colourways) — ₹8,695
Women's exclusive Dunk Low colourways are often more creative than the men's releases. Pastels, colour blocking, and unique material mixes make them stand out. The Dunk Low fits true to size in women's and is comfortable enough for all-day wear.
Adidas Samba OG — ₹9,999
The Samba has become the it-shoe for women globally, and India is no exception. The slim silhouette and vintage aesthetic work beautifully with dresses, skirts, and jeans. The white/black and white/green colourways are the most versatile.
For Comfort
New Balance 530 — ₹10,999
The 530 is lighter and sleeker than the chunkier NB models, making it perfect for women who want comfort without bulk. The silver and white colourway has been incredibly popular in India.
Adidas Ultraboost — ₹14,999
Still the most comfortable sneaker for extended walking. Whether you are travelling, shopping, or just on your feet all day, the Boost cushioning is unmatched. Worth the premium price.
For the Gym
Nike Metcon — ₹11,000
If you are into CrossFit, weight training, or any gym work, the Metcon is purpose-built for it. Stable heel, flexible forefoot, durable construction. Not a fashion shoe, but the best at what it does.
For the Sneakerhead
Air Jordan 1 Low — ₹10,795
Women's exclusive AJ1 Low colourways have been fire lately. The shoe is comfortable, stylish, and carries sneaker heritage. Perfect for women who want to step into sneaker culture with an iconic silhouette.
Sizing Note
Women's sizing in India can be confusing. Nike and Jordan use a women's size scale that is 1.5 sizes larger than men's (Women's 7 = Men's 5.5). Adidas uses UK sizing for both. Always check the brand-specific size chart before buying, and measure your feet in centimetres for the most accurate fit.
