Retro Football Trainers Is The Trend That’s About To Be Everywhere
Call it World Cup fever, but football style is dominating this summer. It’s incredibly easy to wear, too. Think retro football shirts styled with everything from tailored trousers to baggy jorts, or, for something less in-your-face, a pair of classic retro-style football sneakers.

Even after last night’s defeat, you have to admit, this World Cup has brought pure joy. From America falling in love with the chanting Scotland fans to the ongoing Bellingham-Haaland bromance, there’s a softness to this tournament that runs deeper than the game itself.
Amid a ton of retro sportswear dominating social media at the moment, football-boot-style trainers are a fairly low-commitment way to work the trend. Key players like Adidas’ Tokyo trainers, Nike’s T90s, and Puma Kings all champion that slim-line, ’70s aesthetic.
For those looking for something worthy of a Premiership player on £300k-a-week, Louis Vuitton has even brought out their very own pair of golden, football-inspired boots.
For something more fashion-forward, Alohas’ Tb.490 Club sneakers come in a range of colourways with slick design details and that classic football boot tongue – we love the chocolate brown and pale pink combo.

You don’t have to go full-kit sporty to nail the aesthetic, either. We love the look best when paired with pieces that shouldn’t necessarily work (shoutout to the ‘wrong shoe theory’ – IYKYK), like a pretty white dress or lace shorts and a breezy summer top.
Aloha’s Tb.490 Club sneakers are great with something softer like a little white dress & cute socks.
Silver colourways are without doubt the cool-girl choice, adding a modern, unexpected edge to every look.
