By Ayis Stephen-Diver, 30 October 2023

1. THE LOW-SOLES
Puma Palermo Special trainers in pink and green, £75
Getting their name from the Sicilian city of Palermo, these Puma bbs keep up with the low gum-sole wave that took over this summer 🍉 Pink + green is such a lush colour duo: perf for brightening up a gloomy day. Picture these with a miniskirt + baby tee 😍 Now all you need’s some sunnies and a fresh glass of juice – you’re basically on vacay in the south of Italy 🍝

2. THE HI-TOPS
Nike Dunk high trainers in plum eclipse and night maroon, £119.95
Hi-tops? Major throwback vibes, and we’re always here for old-school trend revivals 💿 Nike Dunks have forever been sneaker royalty 👑 Your go-to fash influencer probs owns a pair (or many). We 💛 them with leggings and a crop top – it gives activewear realness (or fakes it, but we won’t judge)!

3. THE CLASSIC RUNNERS
Asics Gel-Kayano 14 trainers in green and silver, £155
Just when you were craving some snug dad trainers, Asics falls straight into your lap 🤤 Their retro vibe is undefeated for topping off a casj look, and the Gel-Kayano 14s double as running kicks, too! Padded and springy, they’re like walking on marshmallows – super snug ☁️

4. THE FUTURISTIC RUNNERS
Nike Shox TL unisex trainers in black and silver, £164.95
Trust, these Nike Shox TL trainers will make your feet the loudest in the room, wherever you go. They’re black for those who like to keep it classic, but that white signature swoosh really does it for us ✅ The instantly recognisable pillar sole adds all the futuristic ✨spice✨ we want. Rock these with your fave pair of jeans or a denim skirt for some srs texture play🥇

5. THE PLATFORMS
adidas Originals Gazelle Bold platform trainers in silver green, £90
These Gazelle Bold trainers are exactly that: BOLD 💅 They’re a fresh take on the iconic adidas silhouette, with a 3-layered sole to match the brand's signature 3-stripe – peak design cred 😮💨 They’re a 10/10 alone, but wear ‘em with a mini dress or skirt to crank that up to an 11.
