If you were going to buy another pair of retro coloured trainers

I mean ffs.

i am a 90s indie kid and I have never really stopped wearing suede pumas/Adidas gazelles. Or knock offs variants thereof - in no way adverse to a supermarket dupe. So obviously v happy there are loads of options around atm.

I wore some dark green/yellow M&S knock offs most of the autumn/winter but these are now really tatty and relegated to garden trainers. I have some beige gazelles which do well for work and some white leather rally trainers too so pale end of the spectrum is covered.

i have some pink vans but they are quite wide in shape and I never reach for them because I think they look a bit weird (sale bargain, loved the colour so though they’d be ok).. I also have some minty campus which I love but don’t go with loads of my clothes, only really jeans.

so I think I’m in the market for another pair but I can’t decide what. Ideally a pair that will do a lot of heavy lifting through til boot season and become my default. I wear a lot of blue but I want something a bit punchier than a navy/navy and white combo. More a royal blue as a base colour perhaps.

or pink. Or green but not the dark green I had last year.

i did see some nice new balances but I think they come up narrow and I have hobbit feet, hence why adidas work well. I can wear junior sizes too as am a 5 or 5.5.

ideas?

I'm a big fan of Adidas superstars as well. I've had a few pairs, but my favourite were similar to these.

My favourite ever Adidas are a pair of superstars that have a black and cream slightly furry animal print. They seem to go with everything and Superstars just fit my feet really well so I can walk miles in them.

I bought magenta Pumas last year...they're gorgeous

I have these and put some Teezy splash laces in. They look fab
