The five must-own white trainers that are here to stay

Converse x Comme Des Garçons Play high-tops, Selfridges, £140

Hot with the fashion crowd and regularly in ‘waiting list’ territory, Comme Des Garçons’ collection with Converse is one of the newer additions to the trainer game that will quickly evolve into a classic. Think Converse structure, modernised, and elevated with luxury. The iconic red heart eyes have been around since 2002, and are instantly recognisable on these logo-heavy sneakers - so definitely not one for the more subtly-dressed among us.

Veja Campo, Office, £130

You’ll recognise a pair of Vejas by their classic ‘V’ logo on the side, and the French-made brand has boomed (approximately 300 per cent!) ever since Meghan Markle was spotted wearing their V-10 sneakers on a number of occasions. Veja put sustainability at the forefront of their designs, and materials used on them are sourced locally and organically, including recycled plastic bottles.

New Balance 550, JD Sports, £120

This low-top basketball shoe is an homage to the 80s, and thanks to its internet resurgence in 2022, it routinely fetches hundreds of pounds at resale. There’s little surprise given that it’s favoured by the ‘it’ crowd including Emily Ratajkowski and Hailey Bieber. Not only that, but it’s available now in a lot of colourways, so you can quite literally snap up a pair for every occasion.
