Adidas Originals Handball Spezial suede sneakers
A casual silhouette that’s comfy, playful and sporty, and available in a range of fun colour options, it’s no surprise the Handball Spezials have been a go-to trainer for years. Bella Hadid, Lily Collins, Dakota Johnson and Katie Holmes are big fans.
Louis Vuitton sneakerina
The ballerina sneaker – aka the sneakerina – launched in April 2025. Love it (like Bella Hadid) or hate it, the hybrid ballet trainer is this year’s answer to a lighter, sleeker design that is both stylish and practical. The fuchsia pink colourway has my vote.

Golden Goose Super-Star sneakers
The Super-Star trainer has been around since 2007, and its latest campaign features Jane Fonda. If it’s good enough for her, the retro design most definitely makes our must-have edit, and we just love the apple green shade.
Puma Speedcat OG sneakers
