04 Dec The Trainer Trends Taking Over in 2024/2025
There has been no shortage of major shoe trends to obsess over in recent seasons, from the triumphant return of the ballerina flat, mesh or otherwise, to the more hardy rise of the moto boot. Of all the shoe-shaped trends, however, it has to be the humble trainer that caused the most footwear-related frenzy in 2024. From the hotly-anticipated trainer collaborations to the TikTok beloved aesthetics and next-level ‘dad’ trends, there has been a lot to chew over lately and things are looking no less feverish when it comes to the world of trainer trends this winter as we head into 2025. These are the 7 trainer trends taking over in 2024 and where to snap them up.
Trainer Trends 2024/2025 – Slimline Retro Trainers
It’s hard to remember a time before the Wales Bonner x Adidas collaboration made the Adidas Samba the shoe nobody could live without. And to be quite honest, it’s so dam versatile, how did we live witohut it? Anyone suffering Samba fatigue can also pick from several other retro Adidas styles too. With an array of fun colours ensuring the Gazelle and Handball Spezial have become equally as prevalent and the SL72 snapping at their heels. From other brands, the Puma Speedcat is gaining traction and the Onitsuku Tiger also had its major moment. Whatever style you choose, you will be tackling one of 2024’s key trainer trends if you plump for a retro, football-inspired trainer this year. It’s all about those 5-a-side vibes. And if you’re not feeling football fever, any retro sport you fancy should do the trick just keep it slim and retro.

Spice things up in these retro futuristic silver sambas.
Another cult style that benefited from the Bella effect.
The Adidas Originals Handball Spezial were first introduced in 1979 for elite handball players. Arguably, a solid-looking choice for the non-elite handball players among us. If you can’t decide which colour, some say navy is the new chocolate brown…
The Gazelles also come in a host of fun colours to jazz up your outfits.
If you have worn your Gazelles, Sambas, or Spezials to death, the SL72s are a great retro alternative from Adidas coming in a range of tasty shades.

Trainer Trends 2024/2025 – Hiking Trainers
Call it Gorpcore or ‘quiet outdoors’, but the hiker sneaker trend is not set to go anywhere for 2025. If running sneakers or retro sporty kicks don’t fit the bill, these outdoorsy and practical-looking styles might be for you. It’s an updated “dad” trainer trend that offers the ultimate blend of performance and style. Just ask Rhianna, Emily Ratajkowski, and Bella Hadid.

Trainer Trends 2024/2025 – Burgundy & Red Trainers

This season, though there is room for yellow, chocolate brown and navy, it’s really all about the burgundy (with a side of raspberry red…)

Trainer Trends 2024/2025 – New Neutrals
In contrast to all the bright pops, technical bells and whistles and unexpected textures, pared back trainers never get old. Whilst your trusty white trainers might not be your top pick right now, new neutrals like tasty shades of caramel make a chic tonal pairing with brown, and work so well with trending dark denim and burgundy. As per usual Miu Miu quite literally set the tone with their SS24 New Balance collab in supple suede. Cue a major shift towards new neutral shades and suede finishes.
