Gone are the days when trainers were solely reserved for athletic endeavours or your commute (provided it has resumed). Instead, over the past few years, sneakers have broken free from their gym-bag bounds and have taken on new sartorial meaning.
It all started when Adidas Stan Smiths became part of the It-girl uniform. Then Vans proved to be all the rage. Fast-forward a few seasons, and we had the pared-back likes of Veja and Superga to obsess over. Most recently, though, “dad” trainers have been clogging up our Instagram feeds, followed by retro styles such as New Balance—something that looks set to continue as we move into 2023.
