Trainers, formerly linked solely to athletic activities, have finally transitioned into the domain of chic footwear.

Shiny models and soccer-inspired forms are being supplanted by refined textile satin trainers – airy, stylish, and unexpectedly opulent.

The key trend features satin sneakers, merging an athletic shape with the gleam of evening fabrics. Ranging from gentle rose Onitsuka Tigers adorned with contrasting ties to pearlescent Prada styles, this shoe category presents a novel degree of elegance.

Another iteration of the “refined” sneaker is centered not on radiance, but on particulars. Antonio Marras embellished the lacing with beads, while Dries Van Noten adorned his textile creations with needlework in shades of olive and navy, incorporating generous appliqués that accentuate the interplay of textures.

While satin sneakers might appear tailored for warmer seasons, they can be easily added into your current wardrobe. Minimalists will value the delicate colors, from pale yellow to mint green, while adventurous fashion enthusiasts can select azure versions featuring suede accents and striking yellow laces.
