What trainers do your male partner wear?

I'm trying to find some trainers to buy DP for his birthday in a few weeks as a surprise as he knows what else I've bought him. He is 30 for reference. Black preferably as he has a white pair he wears regularly. I have no idea what men's trainers are 'in fashion' and I've hunted through pages and think most of them are ugly. Any suggestions? Budget is around £80-£100.

I ❤️ trainers

We both wear Airforce ones.

I also like Nike air vapor max fk, reebok classics legacy, hugo boss hybrid trainers, adidas zx 2k boost.

Are they for daily wear or for fashion? I have specific outfits I would wear with mine rather than them being an everyday shoe.

If just for fashion I don’t think you can go wrong with a pair of Adidas Gazelles - never ever out of fashion.

I do really like airforce we both have a white pair, his are pretty much ruined now no idea what he's been doing to them. Mine still look new and I've had them longer! I will have a look at the other suggestions though thanks!

Hugo Boss.They look smart and go with most thingd

I'll have a look at some gazelles. He had a pair of new balance black mesh/sport kind of shoe (I am rubbish at trainer descriptions) which he loved but wore to death and they've had it now, would of been good to replace them but we bought them abroad though and can't seem to find them anywhere. It's more just for day to day wear or going out with friends or for a meal etc.

We wear Veja trainers. I highly reccomend.

@Campurp I've seen these come up a few times actually and think they're quite nice, I'd never even heard of them before are they new?

Whichever pair Wynsors have in a size 13 or 14 when he needs new ones! They usually have just one or two pair in those sizes, so those are what he gets.

DH hasn't really exited the teenage skater phase yet with his dress sence and he's 30 in December 🤦‍♀️
He still wears DCs and plain black vans haha.

But then my footwear choice is still vans and converse.

I love airforce 1s and really liking retro fila too.
