The Trainer Trends Taking Over in 2024

There has been no shortage of major shoe trends to obsess over in recent seasons, from the triumphant return of the ballerina flat to the naked shoe trend that is going mainstream this spring/summer. Of all the shoe-shaped trends, however, it has to be the humble trainer that caused the most footwear-related frenzy in 2023 and into 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 in 2024. These are the 7 trainer trends taking over in 2024 and where to snap them up.

Trainer trends 2024 – Retro Trainers

The Adidas Samba had a (major) moment last year becoming the shoe nobody could live without following the Wales Bonner x Adidas collaboration. In 2024 the new drop ensured the same level of dedication amongst the fashion set (the leopard print!). Other similar retro styles have been receiving as much attention, with the buzzy Gucci x Adidas collaboration giving the Gazelle a similar boost. The array of fun colours ensure the Gazelle (or indeed, Handball Spezial…) never get boring. 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.
