When British fashion house Wales Bonner collaborated with Adidas back in 2023, a silver edition of the uber-popular Samba was brought to the trainer scene – and was an instant hit. Two years on, this playful, metallic style is back in business, and while white trainers may be a staple, silver trainers are fast becoming the next big thing.
A fresh and punchy alternative that adds a contemporary edge to your outfit, while still being polished, the silver trainer goes with pretty much anything. Wear for an effortlessly chic everyday look or pair with edgier ensembles to channel maximalist style – it’s versatile, it’s fun, and it’s this spring’s it shoe. Here’s our edit of the best silver trainers to add to your footwear collection now.
Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66
Onitsuka Tiger’s Mexico 66 trainer is the perfect blend of laidback and fun. Cut from a metallic silver leather with the brand’s signature contoured stipes in a contrasting white, the modern design is a nod to the brand’s original shoe which debuted in the 1960s and offers a retro touch. Wear to work, the pub or for (comfy) late night dancing. Oh, and Hailey Bieber is a fan – enough said.
Bottega Veneta Orbit metallic trainers
It doesn’t get much cooler than Bottega Veneta’s Orbit trainer – an early Noughtie’s style with a space-age edge. Crafted from silver rubber with white netting and grey mesh (reminiscent of the house’s intrecciato weave technique), the low-top silhouette is a spring wardrobe must-have for die-hard fashionistas.
Adidas SL 72 OG shoes
We’d say these are the crème de la crème of silver trainers – and Bella Hadid would agree. The streamlined, low-profile silhouette is rendered in metallic leather and features the iconic Adidas stripes in a contrasting collegiate navy for a sporty finish. Effortlessly cool with a futuristic edge, pair these kicks with jeans or wide-leg trousers for ultimate style points.
Veja metallic Volley sneakers
Veja’s trainers are favoured by the style set season after season thanks to their ethical construction, sustainable materials and classic styles. The Volley is made in smooth supple leather and brings a fun retro spin to your everyday footwear. This metallic silver colourway will instantly add vibrancy to any outfit (and trust us when we say they go with everything).
Golden Goose Soul Star metallic sneakers
Elevate your favourite denim with these bold silver trainers from Golden Goose. Handcrafted in Italy from high-quality leather, each pair is unique and shows off a slightly distressed look for a cool, casual and understated style. The crinkled metallic design is finished with milky white soles and laces – pair with matching silver jewellery for the full effect.
Sam Edelman Kallen sneakers
New York-based designer Sam Edelman finesses laidback contemporary style – and these silver trainers are a case in point. A low-top leather design featuring round toes and rubber soles, these quirky, cool kicks that will add a spot of glitz to your casual attire.
Russell & Bromley Budds trainers
A vintage style with a modern twist, these trainers promise to take your everyday look up a notch. Made in Portugal from glossy silver leather with juxtaposing white accents, the trainers feature stitch detailing and thin rubber soles for a casual, comfy and chic silhouette.
Alohas Tb.490 Rife sneakers
Swap out your everyday Gazelles and slip into Alohas’ silver trainers; a patent leather low-top silhouette perfect for urban women on the move. Wear from day to night and channel your inner cool girl with the Tb.490s.
Adidas Gazelle trainers
Another Adidas classic that is as trendy as it is timeless is the Gazelle. Kicking around since the 1970s, this beloved trainer is made from soft leather for a relaxed fit that is super versatile. Lace up and wear the retro-inspired design for casual, laidback affairs or dress down Fridays.
Maje M trainers
A slightly subtler take on the trend, but no less imapctful, Maje’s M trainers combine high-shine leather accents with light grey mesh and chunky off-white soles for a sporty, streetwise spin. Strictly for relaxed occasions only, they’ll be your new best friend for running to yoga classes, heading to weekend brunch or popping out for coffee.
