The 'in' trainers to be seen in can move as quickly as the next big fashion trend. One minute a brand is hot topic with the trainer of the season and the next it’s last seasons news. Which can actually make trainers pretty tricky to buy, especially if you’re someone who likes to keep up with the trends.

As they don’t come cheap, with a pair often costing in the region of up to £100. Shopping app LTK revealed this week that the Adidas Spezial’s in brown were one of the most sought after products coming into January. So what exactly does your choice of trainer say about you.

From eco warriors to fashion sheep, here Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale gives the lowdown. Adidas has taken over as the top ‘it’ trainer brand of the past few years and they don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Starting strong with the Sambas, a trainer which this year will have been around for 75 years, the trainer style became so popular that videos were going viral last year showing a multitude of people wearing them on the same train.

Hoards of celebrities have also been seen out in them, including Gigi Hadid wearing a pair of blue and yellow trainers whilst in New York. Even former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wore a pair, causing uproar. Other popular Adidas styles include Gazelle’s and Spezial’s, the latter proving to be currently very popular and hard to get hold of.
