Mens Retro Trainers

What makes a simple pair of trainers "retro"? That's the question. In our humble opinion there are a few essential ingredients to make a delicious retro trainer soup…

Firstly - and most importantly - they have got to look super-fine, they should be low-profile with a simple and classic design. Start getting too flash with your Jordan-esque vinyl netting, air bubbles in the soles or heaven forbid, flashing heels and you're way off the mark.  

Retro Inspired Footwear

Simple, classic styling with a nice bit of suede or canvas, possibly a gum sole here or there and you won't go far wrong. If they look like they've been stolen from a school gym circa 1979 then you've hit the jackpot. We've been campaigning for Gola to introduce some retro "heelies" but we don't think they're gonna deliver the goods. Bottlers.
