The Hottest Trainer Launches This Week

Pointer Seeker Reflective Perf

What if we told you there was a way of going back to the days of light up trainers without having to cram your size nines into a child’s shoe? Pointer’s new Reflective pack uses perforated leather with 3M underneath, making them ideal for visibility on dark winter mornings and evenings, and days for that matter. Available from November 19 at Pointer, priced £105.

Nike Lunar

Nike isn’t exactly short of game-changing kicks. So it makes sense that the brand has borrowed from its best sellers to create an all new sneaker. The Lunar Charge pulls on elements of the Air presto, Air Max 90 and Air Current, resulting in a comfortable neoprene boot construction, atop a laser-siped cushioned outsole with the LunarEpic cushioning system. Available from November 18 at Farfetch, priced tbc.

Magnanni Tennis Trainer

Conceived in Italy, crafted in Spain, these tennis shoes from Magnanni showcase the brand’s 62 years of shoemaking expertise. Cut from smooth burnished leather, the pair serves up a style ace by mixing a sporty edge with traditional craftsmanship. Available at Farfetch, priced £275.

Puma Clyde NYC

The Clyde ranks among one of Puma’s most iconic shoes. Paying homage to the origins of the original suede low-top the brand is dropping a vivid orange iteration complete with a metallic gold ’10’ to the heel panel, a reference to Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier, who repped the sneaker in the 1970s. Available from November 18 at Farfetch, priced £69.

Superga x Star Wars

Why dress like a Jedi when you can style like a Stormtrooper? Ahead of the release of the latest film in the epic space cowboy franchise, Superga is launching an out-of-this-world sneaker inspired by the black and white uniforms of the iconic villains. Who knew they did minimalism so well? Available from November 21 at Superga, priced £89.

Vans TH Court Hi LX x Taka Hayashi

What’s that they say about the seven collaboration itch? It’s not the case with Vans and Japanese designer Taka Hayashi, who are getting ready to launch their 15th joint range. Including this time round is a reworking of the Court Hi LX with bold colour-blocked premium leather. Available from November 19 at Vans, priced £149.
