7 Trainer Colour Trends Ruling in 2025
1. Silver
Style Notes: Is it just me, or are silver trainers everywhere at the moment? From Adidas’s Taekwondo trainers to Dries Van Noten’s all-but-sold-out Dustin sneaker, which came in a flakey metallic finish, it seems no one is interested in going for gold. That said, these trainers are anything but second place. Their reflective surface means they can generally blend with any look, as the shine will ultimately capture flashes of the other colours you’re wearing too.
While I generally gravitate towards gold when it comes to jewellery and bag fittings, I have to admit that, when it comes to trainers, silver looks much more expensive than its warmer counterpart.

The mix of matte and shiny finishes give these trainers added dimension.
2. Deep Green
Style Notes: Green trainers were a big deal last year, with bright grass-green tones cropping up across Puma, Adidas and New Balance alike. For 2025, green is still prevalent, only now I’m seeing more of a focus on deep, rich-looking shades.
Flitting between emerald and olive, designers appear to have collectively agreed to take the saturation down where green is concerned.

3. Vivid Blue
Style Notes: Pale blue might be one of 2025’s biggest colour trends but, where trainers are concerned, things are decidedly less low-key.
Cobalt hues, peppered with flashes of white to keep things fresh, are what I’m seeing most of, but we might see this change still as we head into the warmer months. Either way, blue trainers are a sound 2025 investment.

4. Black
Style Notes: The antithesis to the bright colours we’re seeing elsewhere, black trainers are also bubbling up as a major sneaker trend this year. I’ll confess, I used to think black trainers looked a little cheap, but with a focus on form and using sleek fabrics, they’ve never been more elevated than they are right now.

5. Red and Pink
Style Notes: Why choose one trending trainer colour when you can have two? Between social media and the shopping circuit, pink trainers accented with red, or vice versa, are coming through as the trainer colour combination to know.
While they might sound like a lot, red and pink trainers look great worn with traditional blue denim hues, but also hold their own against cream, navy, olive and camel.

6. Brown
Style Notes: If you have elegant style sensibilities, then this is the trainer trend for you. Thanks to Miu Miu’s ongoing collaboration with trainer brand New Balance, chic brown trainers, particularly those in suede, are now a reality and have given those who never really felt comfortable styling trainers a gateway into the category. Needless to say, they’re still big news in 2025, with lots of other labels also getting in on the brown trainer trend action.

7. Yellow
Style Notes: Last year, Onitsuka Tiger’s Mexico 66 trainers in the brand’s signature bright yellow hue were some of the hardest kicks to get your hands on. And this demand has endured and they remain relevant well into 2025, too, as, after a decent restock, fans of the cult trainer could finally get their hands on them. And let’s just say they’ve been making up for lost time.
Of course, other brands have since followed suit with their own canary options, all of which are valid, too, but it’s Onitsuka Tiger we ultimately have to thank for the cheeriest trainer colour trend of 2025.
