Throwback Chic: The Early-2000s Looks Dominating SoHo Fashion


A sneaker and a heel are essential items in any wardrobe, but their combination? A total game changer. This daring footwear choice exudes a strong "girl on a mission" vibe. The Blake Heel from Sneex showcases remarkable versatility, easily styled for both casual and formal occasions. Thus, we ventured out to observe how this Y2K-inspired trend is being embraced in real life.

1. A Sporty-Chic Combo

This outfit perfectly merges casual, sporty, and effortlessly stylish elements. She’s seen in a patent leather trench that immediately draws attention, paired with blue jeans that feature white detailing for a subtle athletic flair. The white accents extend to her sneaker heels, which come in a grey, tan, black, and white palette. She’s undoubtedly stepping into her power.

2. Solving the Elegant Footwear Dilemma

Finding the right shoes for a more sophisticated look can be challenging, especially if you typically opt for classic kitten heels or ballet flats. However, she has cracked the code. Dressed in an oversized chocolate brown blazer, baggy washed jeans, and two-toned brown sneaker heels, she demonstrates that elegance can coexist with edge. Her slightly crossed stance? Absolutely iconic.

3. Groufit Done Properly

Group outfits don’t always impress, but this one certainly does. The combination of a mid-cut trench coat with grey heeled sneakers is nothing less than perfection. When you add the perfectly fitting black jeans (a struggle we all know), she elevates this look to a whole new level.

4. Blush Pink From Head to Toe

Amidst all the muted tones this winter, it’s a breath of fresh air to see a splash of pink, particularly in blush. When paired with tan? It’s the ultimate combination. She’s sporting a mid-cut gingham trench (which is instantly on our wishlist), a matching tan beanie and pants, a chunky pink scarf to keep warm and stylish, and nude heeled sneakers. The girls are definitely not holding back when it comes to these shoes.

5. The Bigger, The Better

Many individuals are cautious about adopting a full baggy style, yet combining it with a small heel is simply outstanding. We noticed her at a cross street in Soho, wearing a lined, patterned nylon coat. In a realm dominated by leather and wool, this garment made a significant impression. She paired it with wide-leg trousers and, naturally, those black and white sneaker heels. A coffee run executed flawlessly.

6. Going Green

Green can be a hit or miss, but she certainly made a statement. The green sneaker heel is the highlight of this entire ensemble. She completed the look with a chunky olive scarf, keeping the rest minimal: a leather bomber jacket, fitted black jeans, and a relaxed black shoulder bag.

7. A High-Fashion Twist on Form

The memo about coordinating shoes and accessories has clearly circulated throughout the city this year. But where do we even begin with this silhouette? To start, the jeans. The cinched and baggy design complements those sleek red and orange heels perfectly. Layering a maroon hoodie beneath a leather-and-fur coat, she expertly balanced proportion and warmth.

8. Peak Y2K Energy

A chrome silver shoe is the simplest way to elevate any outfit. It captures attention quickly, especially when paired with a neutral like classic mom jeans. She’s clearly experimenting with texture by layering a black shawl with open holes beneath a fur coat. And let’s not overlook those glasses; she’s on a mission to revive Y2K... and we’re all for it.

9. Polished Dynamism
