What’s the ‘new’ white trainer

[Wtf86]

I’m inexplicably behind on trends! So recently embarked on a trainer finding journey to discover that if I buy white trainers then I am no longer on trend!! So what’s the new white trainer equivalent?

To wear with skinny (yes I know but I can’t do barrel or mom jeans) jeans!

Thank you. Oh, how it dates me!

@Wtf86

PS I’m of Indian origin and fashion is huge in our culture!

Oh please What a reductionist statement. I'm also of Indian origin. We are not a monoculture. Some of us like fashion, others prefer art, music, literature, science. Please stop with the nonsense!

I quite like superga at the minute lol

Don't know if anyone has mentioned Puma Future Riders.

Comfiest trainers I've ever worn in my life. Like slippers!

Over 40 - Vejas
Slight twist & bit younger (& more comfortable IMO) - Victoria
Age 11-16 at senior school - Nike AF1
Want to show you have a bit more money but not that different - Air & Grace
Unexciting but classic - Stan Smiths
Sporty/teen/money to burn - various Nike Air Jordans
Fashion/money to burn - Alexander McQueen

Veja!

Very "in" in the right circles and also good for the environment xx

These have been in for about 2-3 years!

creampuff99 how do the Woden shoes come up width wise? I like the look and sound of them!

I have quite narrow feet and they are very comfortable. I wouldn't think they would for feet that are too wide

I don’t buy this “over 40s . . .”. I am 62 and wear what I like. Fashion and great style is for anyone. Have a look at CathiRae on Instagram. I think she is in her 70s and she’s fashionable and fabulous!

I've been wearing Stans for over 20 years!
I also wear air and Grace, D.A.T.E and Zero Cent Cinq 0-105. All hugely comfortable. I think I'm the only person who never got on with Veja.

creampuff99 thanks - I ordered some boots already, so I guess I'm prepared to send them back now! At least returns are free!

I'll get the mizzles from Allbirds if I send the Woden back I think

Veja have had their day I think they’ve certainly been replaced by Axel’s in the local boutiques.

@jackstini your assessment is pretty accurate I think although AF1 still firm favourites into late teens.

Why would anyone pay the thick end of £200 for Axels when they’re so ubiquitous? Some brands really see us coming.

Well I did That’s fashion though surely? Something new comes out and replaces the last ubiquitous thing and becomes equally ubiquitous.

I bought my first pair in 2018 (thanks to a Mumsnet post!) and it's only this year that I've started seeing them everywhere (because I didn't do anywhere last year!).

I disagree about them being for the over 40s though. I've plenty of younger colleagues (mid/late 20s plus) who wear them.

Gosh, I’ve been living on another planet- never heard of Veja nor Axels, Stanley what’s its! I thought I was pretty stylish and wear mostly ColeHaan because they are so comfortable AND washable but maybe I’m a lone shark ?

I think I meant generic rather than ubiquitous. Axels look like any number of Adidas and Nike trainers that cost less than half. I can completely see the point of spending a lot of money for something unique but that just feels like emperor’s new clothes.

Is anyone else paying far more attention to what people have on their feet now? Nike and Asics for the runner mums, the odd veja, one Air and Grace, a couple of balanciaga (the ugliest of the lot), and lots of boots. Oh and one Gucci.

@Blossomtoes whilst not unique I do think the embroidery on the axels is beautiful. I get a lot of compliments when I wear them, but don’t very often cos they’re not as comfortable as you’d want them to be.

Which is a pity. I also find the address she’ll toes really uncomfortable.

Ted baker white trainers are lovely and light .

I love the 0-150 trainers. Been looking at them for about 6 months but don't want to have to pay a huge amount to get them here. Is there a UK stockist?

I think a few of us on here haven’t been able to get on with Veja. They’re so uncomfortable.

Veja proper trainers are really comfy.

@TwinsandTrifle

New Balance are the equivalent of the old "Fila".

Just say no

Is Fila not trendy? I was thinking of buying a pair that are chunky and give you height!

If not, what would you wise mnetters recommend? For a 30 year old xx

Not for everyone if you RTFT
