3 Vintage-Inspired Trainers To Add To Your Christmas Wish List
Over the last few years, fashion trainers have become a mainstay in practically every stylish person’s wardrobe. Some designs become ‘It’-shoes of the season, before slipping back into the periphery as ‘here one day, gone the next’ type of trend, while only a handful of brands manage to transcend the trend cycle entirely, becoming timeless classics. Converse is a case in point.

The Original, Reimagined
Inspired by the brand’s iconic Chuck Taylor sneaker, the Chuck 70s Vintage shoe a fresh update on the original, with the signature All Star license plate, ornate stitching teamed with a thicker sole and even more support.
Style with: Perfect for men and women, the Chuck 70s complement relaxed staples such as slouchy denim, oversized jackets and plain tees. We also love when they’re paired with loose-fitting tailored pieces and co-ords, giving the overall look a laid-back feel.

But, because one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to personal style, Converse has added a few more pieces to their trainer range, allowing you to make your shoe-drobe work even harder for you.
The New MVP
Converse’s new Cruise trainer is all about the thick sole. The supersized tread not only gives the shoe a retro 90s feel, it also delivers additional comfort for the wearer, meaning this trainer is also super supportive. We particularly love the extra wide laces – a subtle nod to skate culture.
Style with: Wide-leg trousers, thick socks and, if you feel like wearing these in an office context, pair with tailored details, such as a collared shirt or structured jacket.

The Off-Duty Hero
For those after a trainer that goes with practically everything in your wardrobe, look no further than the Star Player 76. Complete with chevron and star detailing and available in a slew of the brand’s various canvas colourways, this mid-rise shoe ticks all the boxes for ‘grab and go’ footwear.
Style with: Practically anything. Our favourite option is a cosy knit and a pair of wide-leg jeans or cargo trousers.
