Sneakers on steroids are the shoe of the season. ELLIE PITHERS sizes up the souped-up footwear with plenty of bounce.
Lost-property shoes. You know the ones. Cast your mind back to your teenage attempts to skip PE by clearly leaving your trainers at home, only to be sent to the Lost Property cupboard and ordered to fish out a substitute pair. Remember how repulsively bulbous and spongy the soles were? How the noodly laces were impossible to unknot? That sinking feeling as the thick, cheesy tongue that had obviously no business being anywhere near your delicate ankles closed in on your carefully arranged ribbed Adidas socks? Oh, the horror! But also: the irony.
Big, bad, clunky trainers are back. If modern fashion is chiefly fuelled by provocation, ugly trainers are its latest shock tactic. Come spring, the front row will be done with starkly minimal Stan Smiths, and totally over highly technical Nike Flyknits and New Balance performance shoes. So too, bejewelled kitten heels or feather-sprouting sandals. The shoe of the new season is undoubtedly the 1990s meets sci-fi “turbo” trainer in all its globular glory.
On the catwalks, Nicolas Ghesquière was in “set phasers to stun” mode at Louis Vuitton, pairing a futuristic trainer with a swooping curved sole with almost every look. It’s quite a departure for a man who has habitually lent his silhouettes severity via an extremely high heel. The Archlight sneaker took him four years to design.
