Got my eye on the leopard print adidas classics and have seen some converse with like a scarf tie on them too.

Which pairs are on your wish list at the moment?

I bought them a few months ago and love them, worn them loads.

If it’s any help I find Vejas terribly uncomfortable and would never buy again!

I find them really comfortable but I’ve got wide feet and the adidas feel like my feet are being strangled!

thanks to another thread. does this make it a TAAT?
I want sneakerinas.

I just got silver Gazellles. Want to replace my white Tommy Hilfiger ones - any suggestions for white one that are still trendy?

Pureclass · 05/03/2026 19:14

I got Adidas superstars last year and I've barely worn them as they squeek so badly. I didnt notice until I'd worn them u few times now they drive me mad.

Definitely want something leopard print, saw some pumas, or maybe sambas

Jessica60 · 05/03/2026 19:20

I got these to wear to work with black trousers or black jeans

I have Adidas in vegan leather and you can hear me squeaking from 100 metres. They have been rehomed to DD’s friend, who always takes in my fashion mistakes.
Im still liking NB 515s with leopard trim, and Vans HyLanes. I already have a pair of Ravel Mary-Jane trainers waiting for the right weather, and for me to have the confidence to wear them. They are very off-white and I sometimes have issues with white trainers - I feel like I’ve got clown feet in them. Hence DD’s friend also got the Puma Calis.

Oinitsuka Tiger in a metallic colour way. Inside yellow ones and I love em

Hedjwitch · 05/03/2026 19:45

I never thought of trainers being fashionable,more just something comfy for kicking about it so I only own one pair.
I clearly need to up my game.

hoodiemassive · 05/03/2026 19:47

Just bought Adidas Superstar’s in silver and black. Haven’t tried them on but a touch worried about squeaking now!

Mariocatgran · 05/03/2026 19:51

Samba Mary Jane's

JasmineMac · 05/03/2026 20:03

I can't see past Jordan Low, must've owned at least a dozen pairs. I just bought these (and bought a green blazer especially to match with them 😂)

And these:

Fantastic product from Zalando: adidas Originals-SAMBA OG - Trainers - magic beige/ivory https://www.zalando.ch/adidas-originals-samba-og-sneaker-low-magic-beigeivory-ad111a32g-b11.html

I ordered these a few days ago! I love them. Hoping they are comfy - I really struggled with a pair of Handball Spezial and sold them on Vinted, but I find Gazelles like slippers, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Also just ordered a pair of Salomon XT6. Think they look cool on others but not sure if I’ll pull them off. @Shopgirl1 - styling tips welcome.

Am tempted by the idea of metallic Onitsuka Tigers, too. Will go and investigate…

Isabelle70 · 05/03/2026 20:30

I have the Adidas silver rhinestone sambas that are comfortable so have ordered these ones for wet weather days!

I bought the Adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet trainers after seeing them in that thread. They arrived yesterday and I love them! https://www.asos.com/adidas-originals/adidas-originals-taekwondo-mei-ballet-trainers-in-black-and-white/prd/207519000#colourWayId-207519001

Im interested in how many pairs you all have? I have only got 2 pairs of out trainers, one walking pair (HOKA) yet every outfit i love on instagram has a different pair of cool trainers. Is there a one size fits all? I had plantar fascitis so converse just doesn't work for me

I have:

Black Vejas (pp was right they’re not very comfy I’ve probably only worn them twice)
White Air and Grace. Love these, so comfy but starting to look a little scruffy.
White Adidas classics with black stripes. Just a classic really.
Burgundy adidas spezials (current fave -living in these)
Black Office dupes of the Russell and Bromley flatform laceless (can’t remember the name but were ubiquitous a few years ago) - really uncomfortable, wish I’d gone for the real thing.
Black and multi coloured Sketchers arch fit go walks for walking. Mega comfy, bought when I had plantur fasciitis and it has never come back.
Blue and pink ASICS for running. Not a mega expensive pair as I’ve only started running recently but just perfect. I’ll definitely buy asics again.

IAmUsingTheApplauseReactionSarcastically · 05/03/2026 07:12

Are Adidas comfortable? (Thinking of Spezials/Handballs specifically.) I think I read once that they weren’t and that has clouded my opinion of them ever since. I really struggle with comfortable footwear. Wish they’d bring Nike Internationalists back!

I find the Spezials really uncomfortable sadly, the arch is too high for me and really hard…there are so many of them I’d love to wear but I’ve had two pairs and I’ve had to admit defeat.
Nike Internationalist were my absolute favourites…just ruined my last pair (green with silver swoosh) by spilling something on them that I couldn’t get out 😢

EdinaTheConfessor · 05/03/2026 21:43

YelloyellowBlue · 05/03/2026 15:04

Can anyone advise which type of addidas is good for plantar sufferers if any? Ive gone off converse because of this, and am in boring HOKA but i love the look of loads of the trainers here

Spezials have arch support.

A little cheaper, but I’ve treated myself to these from New Look.

They look fabulous. Are they comfy?

Onitsuka tigers, Mexico 66 in the metallic finish. Either gunmetal or green.

I have them in silver and they’re the best trainers I’ve ever had. So comfy and I get so many comments on them.
