The 10 High-Fashion Trainers You Need This Spring

Severe, uncomfortable shoes aren’t just restricted to heels; many a time, we’ve been subjected to a devil shoe masquerading as a sweet ballet flat. Keep your feet and reputation in tact with these 10 high-fashion trainers to buy now and love forever:

The Trainers You Need

Not for the faint-hearted, these Nike VaporMax live up to their name. Smoky colours + smoky patterns = smokin’ shoes.

€213.00 at Size

 

Pearls have featured massively on the catwalks these last few seasons, and these embellished numbers from Gucci show they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.

Good old Air Max have been around for years, and these multi-coloured beauties will give you all the Fresh Prince feels.

€125.00 at Office

 

We love embellishment on anything, so when it features on a chic navy slip-on, we’re sold.

Who better to emulate during your working week than Rihanna? Cleated soles and pink and yellow colouring will ensure you stand out from the crowd as much as Ms. Fenty herself.

If you’re dreaming of SS18, then these bright Emilio Pucci cut-outs will soothe your winter blues.

Classic Air Max gets a luxe makeover with Nike’s Jewel collection. This pair, featuring tan suede upper and tortoiseshell detailing, will fill the gap on your trainer shelf perfectly.

€130 at Nike

 

Louboutin are well-known for their embellishments in the form of studs and spikes, but these suede slip-ons take on a sweeter note.

Take on an industrial feel with these sneakers from Stella McCartney, featuring a stone and rock sole to toughen up your look.

 

€495 at Stella McCartney

 

With all things 00’s coming back in a big way in 2018, camo looks set to be the print of the year. One thing is for sure, you won’t be blending in with these 97’s from Nike.

€163 at Nike

 

Florals for spring really is groundbreaking with these sweet low-tops from Dolce & Gabbana.
