2023 is undoubtedly the year of thinking pink — it’s as if we’ve stepped into Barbie World with the pink hue painting our style choices from head to toe. With so many new Barbiecore footwear releases available, it’s prime time to grab a pair of the best pink Nike shoes in best-selling styles to add a playful pop to your sneaker rotation.
From ‘Hot Punch’ Nike Vomero 5 sneakers to coral-toned Jordan Sophia Slides, the Swoosh is in love with the bubblegum hue as much as you. This summer alone, Nike, per usual, ran ahead of the trends with a plethora of pink releases across lifestyle shoes, sneakers, and sandals, including heritage and contemporary models. They’ve made it easy to strut in the unofficial color of the year, as you can easily find your all-time favorite Nike shoe in a rosy hue, or discover a new go-to in the punchy colorway. Whether you’re in the market for chunky platform shoes, Air Max sneakers, high performance Pegasus Nike running shoes, timeless Air Force 1’s, or stylish recovery sandals, Nike’s painted the town pink with a wide offering of colorways that add sweetness to your stride.
Pink Nike sneakers are a subcategory of the Barbiecore footwear trend in their own right, and have been spotted on tons of celebrities, athletes, influencers, and even movie-goers for the namesake film. From Hilary Duff’s fave blush-toned Metcon Free 5 workout shoes to Sha’Carri Richardson being crowned the fastest runner in the world in a pair of ‘Hyper Pink’ Nike Air Zoom Maxfly spikes, the femme colorway has never been so coveted. Even TikTok searches have spiked in recent months, with over 13.1 million users tuning in for unboxing reviews and styling inspiration under the search term for #pinkNikes.

Best Nike Walking Shoes
What reviewers say: “I bought these to wear as vacation sneakers and I’m so in love. I love the look of Air Jordan 1s, but I wanted to find a platform sneaker that wasn’t too chunky or strange-looking – and these couldn’t be more perfect. The sole is thick enough to give you that extra shape and height without looking like moon shoes. Even my friends and family who aren’t into typical platform sneakers liked them. I bought them in my regular size and they fit perfectly.”

They are so comfortable and easy to walk in. They also are not heavy to me. They feel like a great quality shoe. I’m not a big fan of sneakers, so having these as alternative makes me so happy. Great for everyday wear or traveling.”
