IF YOU’RE refreshing your wardrobe for the new season, trainers are a safe bet – they’re one of the few buys that make sense all year round.
They do a lot of heavy lifting, too, working just as well with jeans and joggers as they do with dresses or tailored trousers.
Save up to 60% on New Balance, adidas and Converse
MandM might not be the first place you think of, but it’s currently convincing shoppers by offering strong discounts on big-name brands, with selected styles up to 60% off RRP.
We’ve picked out five pairs that cover classic sporty shapes, comfort-first options, and one platform style that still feels wearable day-to-day.
New Balance 370 Trainers
New Balance 370 Trainers, £39.99 (£99.99 RRP)
The New Balance 370 has that retro runner look that still feels bang up to date, especially if you want something sporty without going full gym shoe.
The concrete-and-sea-salt colourway keeps things understated, making it easy to slot into an everyday wardrobe, and the shape has just enough vintage character to stand out without shouting.
At just £39.99, it’s one of the biggest savings in this roundup.
New Balance 480 Trainers
New Balance 480 Trainers, £39.99 (£89.99 RRP)
If you prefer a cleaner, 90s-style court trainer, the New Balance 480 is the more straightforward option.
The white and green colourway gives it a classic sportswear feel, and it’s the sort of pair that works well as an everyday staple rather than a trend-led buy you’ll fall out of love with.
It’s reduced to £39.99, making it a solid choice if you want a recognisable branded style at a much lower price.
adidas Originals Men’s Rivalry Low Trainers
adidas Originals Men’s Rivalry Low Trainers, £44.99 (£84.99 RRP)
The adidas Rivalry Low has been around long enough to avoid feeling overly trend-driven, and that’s a big part of the appeal.
It has a chunkier profile than a slim retro trainer, but still feels clean and wearable in the all-white colourway.
This is a good pick if you want something sport-inspired that can handle daily wear without looking too technical.
SKECHERS Men’s Go Walk Max Adir Trainers
SKECHERS Men’s Go Walk Max Adir Trainers, £29.99 (£58.99 RRP)
Not every trainer needs to make a style statement; sometimes comfort is the main event, and that’s where Skechers usually delivers.
The Go Walk Max Adir is built for easy, all-day wear, with a lightweight feel and cushioning that makes sense for commuting, travel or long days on your feet.
At £29.99, it’s one of the more practical buys in the mix.
Converse Women’s Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Platform Hi Trainers
Converse Women’s Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Platform Hi Trainers, £39.99 (£79.99 RRP)
If your trainer rotation already covers the basics, this Converse pair adds something a little different without being awkward to style.
The platform sole gives the classic Chuck Taylor shape a bit more presence, while the natural ivory shade keeps it softer and easier to wear than a standard black high-top.
It’s currently £39.99, a strong price for a silhouette that rarely, if ever, goes out of fashion.
