Indian summers don’t mess around. Between blazing footpaths and air that feels like it’s fresh off a tandoor, the last thing you want is to be trapped in leather high-tops that feel like mini pressure cookers for your toes. Enter mesh sneakers—lightweight, airy, and actually designed to let your feet breathe.
And no, we’re not talking about the gym trainers your dad wears to walk the dog. Today’s mesh sneakers are stylish, versatile, and can go from morning runs to brunch dates without breaking a sweat (unlike you, probably). Whether you’re chasing steps or style points, here are the coolest mesh sneakers to keep you looking—and feeling—fresh this summer.
