Lily Allen Just Wore The Miu Miu X New Balance Trainers In the Chicest Way


If you’ve been keeping up with trends this season then you’ve probably noticed a new cult-shoe enter into the fashion zeitgeist. Transcending the revolving doors of fleeting “It shoes”, Miu Miu X New Balance’s trainers have struck a cord with fashion people—amassing an impressive following over the past few months and officially becoming the season’s favourite shoe.

Spotted on all of the chicest people on my timeline, these in-demand trainers tap into several key winter trends, all-the-while retaining a wearable silhouette. Seen on Lily Allen, who this week wore a dark brown aged leather pair adorned with two sets of laces—a motif see throughout the collection—with white socks, jeans, a leather jacket and an apple green bag covered in playful charms, the singer and actor wore her pair casually and effortlessly with her cool-weather look.

Based off New Balance’s iconic 530 trainers, this trending iteration sees the classic style reimagined through the Miu Miu lens. Featuring leather, suede and corduroy fabrications and mis-matched laces woven throughout, Miu Miu’s input has transformed these classic dad-trainers into a fashion person’s dream buy.

Available in a selection of neutral shades including white, chocolate brown and cinnamon, the trending trainers remain versatile and easy to style—wearing well with the moody shades that often dominate a winter wardrobe.

Selling out as soon as they’re re-stocked, these aren’t an easy pair of shoes to get your hands on. As such, fashion people have set restock alerts, traipsed through re-seller sites and consulted shopping experts in attempt to call them their own.
