At the end of 2019 I spoke to some leading trainer experts, including Diadora CEO, Enrico Polegato as well as Nia Jones, co-founder and creative director of new sustainable sneaker brand Good News, on what kind of sneakers we’d see everywhere in 2020.
Before this year, trainer trends arguably fell in to one of two categories. Either they were very much on the “ugly” oversized sneaker side of things with the high street, as well as designers, continuing to push out bold-style trainers. Or, they fell into the more classic-style sneakers—Vejas sustainable trainers have been one of the shoes I spotted the most over 2019, with not only celebrities such as Emma Watson and Meghan Markle wearing them but a host of influencers.
