Coming together, the worlds of ballet daintiness and sneaker comfort, you get the “Sneakerina” trend of the year 2025; the all-purpose fashion footwear. The Vivaia Yancy Jogger Nylon Sneakerina transformed the slim profile of a ballet flat with the functionality of a sneaker and was recently seen on model Bella Hadid. The result? A shoe that can go to a Pilates session, a coffee date, or a casual night out.
The Balletcore Ascent
One of the most defining style movements of recent seasons has been balletcore, the trend that is characterized by soft and feminine figures, pastel tones, and the overall look of a dancer with grace. Wrap cardigans, leg warmers, and it has ushered in a completely new approach to everyday dressing. The next logical step is the Sneakerina, and it has the sleek minimalist look of ballet flats with the cushioned soles of sneakers and a supportive fit.
The Reason the Sneakerina Works
Chic Meets comfort- Unlike regular ballet flats, Sneakerinas are cushioned-soled, well-arched, and so can be worn the whole day.
Flattened Shape- The clean toe and low vamp make the shoe feminine, and the sole very athletic, which makes the shoe very durable.
Seasonless Convenience: Lightweight enough to wear in summer but still solid enough to wear a few weeks into early fall.
Vivaia, with their Yancy Jogger Nylon version in particular, have caught on big time–15,000+ pairs sold and still going–showing that functionality, fashionable hybrids are what contemporary closets are missing.
The Way Bella Hadid Dresses
Bella makes the Sneakerina pure off-duty model: high-waisted jeans, a tight tank, a cropped bomber jacket. She avoids using too many accessories, and the shoes remain modest to keep her outfit in balance. The dressing looks casual and purposeful at the same time; one can say about the nonchalant appeal of the Sneakerina.
How to Wear Sneakerinas to Summer

Where to Get Them
Vivaia is in the vanguard with their Yancy Jogger Nylon Sneakerina in various colors, but companies such as Rothy, Allbirds, and Everlane are starting to experiment with similar types of hybrids. By fall, be prepared to find both luxury brands and fast-fashion shops providing their readings of the trend.
The Takeaway
The Sneakerina is not only a new fashion trend, but it is new footwear design answering the needs of contemporary life. The perfect example of this mash-up is this hybrid shoe, allowing you to make a fashion statement while keeping both feet on the ground. Be it running errands around, to work, or even to a laid-back night out, Sneakerinas will work their way to get you there in comfort and style.
