Retro trainers are making a comeback on campus
Adidas Handball Spezial, Samba OG, Campus 00s and multiple New Balance 530 and 9060 styles are prominent in students' baskets.
That strong presence of heritage silhouettes shows students are sticking with proven classics that pair with everything from low-rise jeans to cargos and oversized hoodies. These trainers move seamlessly from daytime uni fits to nights out, making them wardrobe staples rather than seasonal trends.

Neutral tones are winning over statement colours
Across brands — from adidas to New Balance and Nike P-6000 — colourways lean heavily into taupe, brown, off-white, sea salt and black. Even when there’s a pop (like leopard or metallic), it’s grounded in wearable tones.
This suggests students are choosing versatile pairs that match multiple outfits, stretching their budget further while still staying on trend.
