Grey trainers are the hidden gem your wardrobe has been missing. They strike the perfect balance between sleek black pairs and crisp white ones, offering you the best of both worlds without leaning too far in either direction. It turns out I'm not alone in this belief. Just look at Katie Holmes in a recent sighting.
As she strolled through the New York City streets, Holmes showcased her casual style, donning relaxed sweatpants and a double-breasted coat. But her choice of footwear—grey Adidas trainers—truly stole the spotlight. These shoes epitomised what I've always suspected about grey trainers: They're the cool, understated middle child of the trainer world, effortlessly pulling together any outfit with a laid-back yet polished vibe. I predict more fashion people will add this colourway to their trainer rotations this spring, so take a cue from Holmes and keep scrolling to shop for the best pairs worth incorporating into your wardrobe.
