London Fashion Week 2020 Review
London Fashion Week saw a range of quirky yet stunning looks from both regular and up-and-coming designers from around the world. Check out our faves!
Here’s our list of the waviest trainers around this April – exclusive collabs, new editions, and celeb-designed one-off’s – we’ve searched far-and-wide and the list has it all. Get them before they go!
A deconstructed take on the DMX Trail Shadow, Reebok have collaborated with Japanese technical outerwear brand Mountain Research. Constructed entirely of nubuck leather and taking a pared back approach this shoe is free from the typical reflective weldings and embellishments. Instead details include the Stark Mountain Research branding ‘Holiday in the Mountain’ that wraps neatly around the heel.
Available April 24th from reebok.com
Adidas Superstars need no introduction; but the latest edition of these classic shell-toe trainers has used the logo as a repeat motif all over the shoe. They are made from real leather for extra robustness and come complete with the distinctive 3 white stripes – guaranteed to make heads turn.

First introduced in the 50’s the Samba was originally designed for footballers- however it has since become a firm favourite among those of us who appreciate a more low-key kind of leather trainer. This time around they’ve updated the iconic three stripes to reflect the fang shaped overlays synonymous with yet another OG football shoe- the 1994 Predator boots.

Another classic shoe but reimagined and released in the ever expanding ‘Red Sketch’ colourway. This specific Blazer features a white leather upper and a bold scrawled tick along the side. Complete with Nike text graphics that look as if you’ve genuinely doodled across your shoe! Another playful addition to the Blazer family.
Take one look at the reflective Swoosh logo and you’re already
interested; take another look at this awesome drop with vibrant rainbow colours and you’ll fall in love. These women’s Nike Easter Edition leather trainers are low-cut for a streamlined look with unicorn colours guaranteed to brighten up your day.
This silhouette was originally released as a cross-training product back in the late 80’s however, excitingly it has been pulled from the archives and is retuning this spring! Consisting of a supple white leather base and released in two retro colourways, black with turquoise and sport blue with soft grey. Although we can’t quite believe it either, we think this shoe is making a well-deserved comeback!
Release date: TBC
There’s an eye-catching pair of trainers, then there’s a Pharrell-designed pair of trainers. This collaboration between the singer (rapper, songwriter, producer, designer) and Adidas has delivered this awesome trainer drop – with a technicolor design and unique sole. The sneakers intentionally pay homage to basketball fans around the world.

It comes as no surprise that Stussy and Nike have come together once more to deliver not one, but two takes on the Nike Caged Zoom Spiridon, named “Fossil” and “Pure Platinum”. Both pairs have seen enormous demand on social media, so be sure to get them quick before they’re gone!
Released early April, Isle Skateboards and Nike have collaborated to drop this black suede pair of kicks, with patches of canvas stitched on to give it that real sense of identity, complemented – of course – by its smooth rubber base.
This striking pair of trainers is the result of a collaboration between sporty brand Mizuno and WOOD WOOD. The variety of textures and pastel colours come together to form a quirky and irresistible casual shoe. Love!
