If you’re after a fresh trainer update, look no further. Metallic trainers are the perfect everyday shoe for spring 2025 – and these are the very best to buy now.
Trainer trends come and go. From the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 to Puma Speedcats and Asics, each style has had its moment in the spotlight. But now, a new favourite is emerging: the Adidas SL 72 OG in silver.
Spotted again and again on the feet of show-goers at Copenhagen Fashion Week recently, these shiny trainers have a crinkled silver finish and sleek navy stripes. They’re still available online, but silver shoes are a rising trend more broadly – so if you’re after a different trainer style, we’ve been keeping a close eye on a wide variety of shimmering options.
The beauty of metallic trainers is that they go with everything. Whether you’re styling them with silver accessories for a matchy-matchy moment or keeping it effortless with wide-leg trousers and a jumper (like London-based content creator Jamie Firth, above), they make any outfit look more polished.
Thinking about swapping out your classic Sambas for something with a little more shiny? Below, we’ve scoured the high street to round up the best silver trainers that will keep your feet shining brightly.
The best silver trainers to buy now
Adidas SL 72 OG trainers
A fashion favourite. If you love the style, it also comes in a variety of other chic colourways including brown, pink, red and orange.
New Look silver lace-up low-top trainers
Perfect for those who love a chunkier style, these trainers have a sleek low-top silhouette, classic white laces and a thick sole. Wear with white sports socks and black leggings to give off that ‘just came from yoga’ vibe – even when you’re working from home.
New Balance 740 shoes
Arguably the easiest way to dive into the silver trainer trend is with the New Balance 740. Inspired by 2000s running shoes, they’re an easy route into the look thanks to their two-tone mesh design and white rubber sole. Wear with wool trousers for the office, or go full Y2K with bootcut jeans and a cowl-neck shirt.
Puma Arizona trainers in metallic silver
How sleek are these shoes? We first saw them in off-white, but they’ve now had a gorgeous silver upgrade. We’d style them with a denim maxi skirt, white T-shirt and leopard print padded jacket for a look that feels fresh for the season ahead.
Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66
If there’s one footwear style we’ve worn day in and day out at Stylist HQ, it has to be Onitsuka Tigers. They’re just so sleek and streamlined, especially the metallic range. This silver version has cream detailing but if you want an edgier look, try the black and silver striped style.
Adidas Originals Samba OG
Okay, maybe we’re not quite over our Sambas just yet. The good news? The latest version of the style stays true to the original 50s silhouette with a full-grain leather upper, and is now available in a space-age silver.
River Island silver metallic lace-up trainers
Another great pair of silver trainers. To style these, we’d pair them with a cool, bold sock (think Calzedonia or Bella Freud’s vibrant designs). This will really elevate your look and add a pop of personality.
M&S leather metallic side detail trainers
If your old shoes are starting to show signs of wear, it might be time for a refresh. These trainers from M&S will quickly become your new go-to pair. With soft cushioning, green accents and a design built for long-term wear, you’ll have the comfort and durability you need to take on your day, no matter how chaotic.
Next silver Forever Comfort slim lace up trainers
When wearing a pair of trainers as streamlined as these Next lace-ups, we recommend leaning into relaxed silhouettes. Think casual barrel-leg jeans or classic wool trousers, the wider the better.
