Top 5 Trending Trainers for Summer
Nike Zoom Vomero 5
Best for Strolling
I’m a big fan of the Nike Zoom Vomero 5—there’s a retro feel to them that you just can’t resist, and they happen to be right on trend. They’ve got that perfect balance of function and fashion: super breathable mesh, loads of cushioning, and ideal for days when you're constantly on the go. Plus, they’re ridiculously easy to style. Whether you're keeping it neutral or going bold, there’s a colour combo out there to match pretty much any vibe.
What We Like:
- Well cushioned
- Breathable
- Range of colours and styles
adidas Samba
Best for Fashionistas
The adidas Samba is one of those shoes that never goes out of style—timeless, but somehow always trending. I love how effortlessly they pull an outfit together, whether I’m dressing things up a bit or just keeping it casual. They come in just about every colourway you can think of, so it’s hard not to find a pair that fits your vibe. I’ll be honest, they can feel a little stiff for the first day or two, but once they’ve softened up, they’re an absolute dream. And those iconic 3-Stripes and the classic T-toe? Forever a win.
What We Like:
- Timeless design
- Available in huge range of styles
- Complete any look
New Balance 1906R
Best Quality
New Balance has really been on a roll lately, and the 1906R is proof they’re not slowing down anytime soon. It’s one of the comfiest pairs I’ve ever worn—seriously, the combo of their latest tech, like ACTEVA LITE cushioning and segmented ABZORB SBS pods, makes every step feel next-level. Comfort aside, they look just as good as they feel. There are some great colourways out there, and they’re super easy to style whether you're going laid-back or a bit more polished. Big fan.
What We Like:
- High tech
- Very well cushioned
- Range of great colour combos
Nike P-6000
Best for Comfort
The Nike P-6000 might’ve been designed for running, but let’s be honest—they’ve fully crossed over into fashion territory. I originally tried them on for the comfort (and yes, they’re very cushioned), but ended up falling for the look too. There’s something about the mix of sporty and retro that just works, and they come in a bunch of great colour options to suit whatever mood you’re in. They've definitely earned a permanent spot in my shoe rotation.
What We Like:
- Retro look
- Easy to style
- Multi purpose, can be worn for running too
Asics Gel-1130
Best for Chilling
If I had to pick one shoe for a stylish summer look, the ASICS GEL-1130 would be it. Originally built for running, they’ve totally taken over the fashion scene—and for good reason. The design has that perfect mix of sporty and street-ready, and they come in loads of colours and variations to suit pretty much any style. Plus, the GEL cushioning means they’re ridiculously comfy, even if you’re on your feet all day. Honestly, they’re one of those pairs that make you wonder how you ever lived without them.
What We Like:
- GEL cushioning
- Sporty, stylish look
- Versatile
So, if your trainers could do with an upgrade, now’s a great time to make the switch. These styles aren’t just comfortable and easy to wear—they’re some of the most talked-about pairs of the season.
Whether you're after something classic, sporty, or a bit of both, hopefully my current picks of trending trainers have you covered!
