If, for some reason, you’ve been sheltered under a rock of late or are allergic to social media and have yet to discover the #ShoesdayTuesday hashtag on Instagram, then you might not know that this trainer is, in fact, THE trainer to covet. The Alexander McQueen aptly named “oversized sneaker”(original, right?) features smooth calf leather, large flat laces, oversized rubber soles, and finished with an Alexander McQueen signature on the tongue.

These Vans-style, slip-on trainers are the perfect arsenal to keep under your desk during busy days. The checked fabric will hide any dirt you come in contact with, while the diamond applique gives these trainers an up-town, expensive feel. Also, no laces. What’s not to love?

The Air Vapormax brings comfort to new heights. A mesh design sits atop the lightweight, bouncy cushioning for the feeling that you’re defying gravity (I can vouch for this). Carved-out sections in the sole help keep the shoe incredibly flexible and lightweight, while the durable design will help keep these looking newer for longer.

Let me introduce you to, quite possibly, the most bad-ass trainer you’ll ever see. The Gucci will help you reach new heights (and probably social status. Everyone want’s to be friends with the woman who has these). These statement trainers are designed to glimmer and stand out from every angle. Made from silver glittered leather, they’re set on a lightweight platform sole and finished with the house’s signature blue, red and white webbing. Wear yours to add impact to tailoring or cropped denim. Not for wallflowers.
