These blush Nike Air Plus Max, €160 at Nike.com

Nike has invested heavily in their women’s lifestyle designs to better suit women-on-the-fly. They understand that form and functionality are equally important and that really shows with their chic and modern approach to everyday trainers. The TN silhouette is really small and neat, making them an ideal candidate to pair with a midi-skirt or statement trousers and a smart blazer. The satin-effect finish gives added luxury, too.

They’re composed of white, smooth calf leather so they’ll age really well, and the chunky heel and rounded toe keep the shoe looking neat. The gold vintage metallic detailing is the perfect subtle touch of decadence if you like to keep things low-key.
