These Are The Top Trainer Trends To Shop In 2025
Leave your heels at home and brace yourself for the influx of new must-have sneakers. From retro kicks to dad-style wheels, these are the comfiest and best fashion trainers dominating the style set in 2025…
When a trend comes along that offers that magical fusion of comfort and style, you know we’re onto something special. Back in the ’90s, it was all about the Nike Air Max and Adidas Sambas, fast forward to 2011 and Phoebe Philo, then Creative Director at Céline, reignited the Stan Smith tennis shoe obsession. Today – well, this is so much more than a trend – trainers are owning the style spotlight. And not just in the gym. We’re seeing elegant tailoring teamed with chunky Asics and dresses with old-school soccer shoes. This is a movement both you and your feet will want to join.
There’s a continued buzz around Adidas, specifically the Originals collections. The furore spiked when the collab with British-Jamaican designer Wales Bonner dropped. A revamped take on the classic Samba silhouette with a foldover tongue, folks grappled to get a pair, resulting in an astounding sell-out success. More are to follow, so stay tuned.
With those distinctive stripes flying off the shelves, retro core is still hitting hard. While we continue to slip on the classics in pared-back shades, 2025 is looking way more colourful. Expect pinks, greens, blues and even some serious colour clashing. Adidas Gazelles, SL72s and Puma Palermo trainers are guaranteed to deliver. Influencers, however, are fully here for their yellow kicks, favouring the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66. A true icon within the brand’s range, you don’t get much more retro than this ’60s shoe.
If you’re after something chunkier and effortlessly cool (ironically, what was once deemed the dad shoe), New Balance has you covered. This basketball shoe, revived from the ‘80s, includes Bella Hadid, Rihanna and Emily Ratajkowski as fans. All suggests we should add it to our wardrobe repertoire.
Whichever look you go for, from low tops to high tops, we’ve got you sorted.
