ALL THE TRAINERS WE'RE LOVING RIGHT NOW
By Kieran Murphy, 5 July 2024

adidas Originals SL 72 RS trainers in yellow, £80
After the popularity of the Samba and the Spezial, it's clear adi can do no wrong in the trainer game. The SL 72 in the colour of the season, butter yellow, is another hit waiting to happen. They're a little slimmer than the traditional OGs, but as a result, they're super lightweight, comfortable and packed full of the old-school vibes everyone's loving right now.

New Balance 2002 trainers in sand, £140
A shoe-game signature? The ultimate dad trainer. With all the specs you’d expect – textured grip, heel cushioning, a padded tongue – you just know these would go perfectly with blue-wash jeans (or just about anything tbh). Super snug and lightweight, you can wear these all day long and still have a spring in your step. Stroll around the city, anyone?

Puma Velophasis Always On trainers in grey, £95
Another super chunky Y2K number with a funky mesh base. This pair keep a lower profile, so you might not notice as many out and about – perfect for those of you walking to the beat of your own drum. Thanks to the molded insole though, you’ll be walking in time on cloud nine!

Salomon XT-6 Skyline trainers in grey, £165
Take on the terrain in these trailblazers from Salomon. They pack a supreme punch in the tech specs with an Agile Chassis System with a responsive EnergyCell midsole to keep your strides stable and smooth. But let’s face it, they also look beautiful. Something about that quicklace system and the depth on the outer sole design makes these so original.

Nike Zoom Vomero 5 trainers in white and navy, £144.99
The Vomero has our hearts. They’ve got that early 00s design alongside retro-future features like that mesh caging and silver accents. That sand-coloured sole is a real sleeper agent for style, too, locking down peak all-day comfort to boot.
