WE'VE GOT TRAINERS FOR EVERY SUMMER PLAN

New Balance 1906 trainers in grey and yellow, £140

Low-profile sneakers might be trendy, but we’ll forever have a soft spot for the chunky sole. Cue: the New Balance 1906, your shortcut to festival comfort. Like NB’s entire range of chunky, funky dad trainers, the 1906 comes with modern street-ready appeal – or field-ready in your case. With all the standing you’ll be doing at the big party in the park, it’s only right to ensure your shoes can withstand the pressure. The airy ACTEVE LITE midsole and N-ergy outsole provide ample cushioning, so you can focus on having fun.

Nike Ava Rover trainers in off white, £129.99

With the sun shining so fervently (fingers crossed it stays that way), you'll likely be getting your steps in outdoors. The Nike Ava Rover is the perfect summer trainer – its curved ReactX midsole provides maximum cushioning and they're super lightweight for long days in the city. And while adding a little colour into your rotation is always welcome, nothing beats a sleek off-white.

Nike Air Force 1'07 LV8 trainers in blue denim, £109.99

Football is woven into the fabric of British culture, but do you know what else is? Nike Air Force 1s. The second these chunky trainers crossed the Atlantic, they were an instant hit. So much so, that England stars like Kane and Foden sported custom AF1s during the 2022 world championship. And this denim-finished pair are a new addition to the franchise. Whether the match-day motive is being held at the pub or your friend’s pad, these are how to show your support in style. Alongside our team kits, of course.

adidas Originals Samba OG trainers in navy and white, £95

Got a friend who won’t stop trying to lure you out to a day party? These adidas Sambas are a good reason to finally say yes. Crafted in a cool navy colourway with clean contrasting stripes, this pair has equal parts vintage and street appeal. They’re endlessly adaptable – just as at home with tonal tailored trousers as they are with cargos or your favourite worn-in denim. Whatever the dress code dictates, make sun-soaked memories in these.

Vans Authentic trainers in brown, £60

Not 100% on the whole '2026 is the new 2016' thing? You should be, because the Vans Authentic is back in the trend cycle. These iconic skate shoes were Vans’ trophy trainers way before the Knu Skool came around, but we never really forgot about them. The Authentic goes with everything and suits every setting. From post office runs to skate parks, this trainer's sleek, easy-going appeal is simply irresistible.
