Whether channelling your inner Logan Roy for a dose of succession-centred stealth wealth or wanting a new everyday sneaker to slot into your wardrobe, a pared-back trainer is always a good idea.
If you’re brave enough to enter into the never-ending vortex of fashion TikTok, an inescapable swarm of quiet luxury content is thrust upon you, with short-form videos listing HBO’s Succession and Gwyneth Paltrow’s now infamous courtroom outfits as examples of the trend. Luckily, you don’t need a media empire under your belt or an esteemed acting portfolio to get involved. With an understated trainer, achieving the look is easy. See our selection of low-key trainers below to help inject some quiet luxury to your rotation.
Always On Trend
The Adidas Gazelle is dominating current fashion trends, with its low-profile wearability weaving its way from football terraces to fashion week. A supple suede construction enables a broad colour palette to be applied to the style. With its roots in sport, the Gazelle offers durability, seen in a translucent gum sole, offering comfort and grip. The adidas Gazelle Indoor Orange Peel provides a well-balanced blend of tropical hues with crisp white branding to bring the sunshine into your look.
The Versatile Classic
Monochromatic sneakers have a place in every rotation, offering a clean go-to for any occasion. The Nike Air Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘07 is an icon in its own right, where a subtle Nike Swoosh, a textured addition to the iconic silhouette, complements a crisp white leather upper. First designed in 1982 by Brian Kilgore, the Nike Air Force 1 is a subtle compliment to any outfit. Performance features, such as a perforated toe box and grip-grabbing rubber sole, provide practical additions to your look. Seen by many as the perfect white sneaker, its simple colour scheme provides an ageless appeal.
The Country Club Companion
A glass bottle of crisp sparkling water gently refracting from your dainty 18-karat gold Cartier Panthère, following a friendly game of tennis on the clay courts of Saint Tropez. Sound like the life? This is the aesthetic founder Emily Oberg taps into for her luxury streetwear label, Sporty & Rich. Giving consumers a taste of the mood board-friendly lifestyle of early ‘90s millionaires, and a shoe to match, Oberg has provided us with the adidas Samba OG Sporty & Rich White Green. This retro-inspired Samba’s luxury leather upper is met with suede overlays and gold foil Sporty & Rich branding to finish the look.
The Sports Star
With a net worth of over a billion US dollars, Michael Jordan is no stranger to the high life, enjoying his time as one of the most successful athletes in history. Revel in the lifestyle of a star with the Air Jordan 4 Retro Shimmer Womens, bringing a neutral wearability to the sports-focused shoe. Free from the Swoosh branding seen on other Nike models, the silhouette’s notoriety sets it apart. Clean beige hues dominate the construction, whilst mesh panels and lace stays offer texture. Underfoot, an Air Bubble provides comfort for all-day wearability. Live like a champion in the Nike Air Jordan 4.
