Trainers again - what's cool?

I have white canvas supergas as a go to, plus multicoloured flyknit Nike for day wear. I'm looking for something stylish and more white/plain to wear with flares or pastel clothes. I just don't know what's trendy anymore. Any tips?

Love a good pair of trainers, my current favourites are Adidas Astir, great for the gym but also nice enough to wear otherwise. I also like Stans and Nike AF1 but I always go back to Converse, you’ve given me an idea to try my latest ones with more flared trousers as I’m not keen on how they make my legs look with skinnies or leggings.

@Orangeslemon why did you link those beautiful white Adidas Sambas? I have fallen in love with them and of course they are sold out everywhere 😭 😭

Not sure whether my young adult dc would be impressed if I ordered some Dunks - he has at least five pairs of them!

@ughtheweather Me too!! I saw them come back in stock maybe 6 weeks ago and hesitated on buying them and now they’re out of stock every time I check 🙈

@Orangeslemon I'm going to keep stalking online to see if I can get them but I'm not hopeful! I've bought these meantime but haven't got them yet. I'm sure they'll not be as nice SAS those lovely white Sambas 😢

Oooh these are very nice!

Ugh I didn't like them when they arrived. My DS 'kindly' told me they looked like bowling shoes and he's right. The laces at the front go to almost the front of the shoe just like a bowling shoe. Back they go!
Thanks to this thread I have a new pair of Nike Internationalists which I like and I'm currently trying to pick a pair of Hoff trainers that might work with my clothes.

That's good to know thanks for the update. I need arch support so I'm might buy a pair from Fitflops
These for work and these for daily wear

They do look like bowling shoes unfortunately!

Hey people, I never ended up getting anything so am still in my colourful Nike flyknits. Still hunting that perfect white trainer but I have to go down the ebay route to get something nice. I was looking at Vejas but as people said, they are everywhere
