This week, I went on a bit of a trainer-buying spree, picking up two new pairs. It all began when Adidas Originals and Mini Rodini sent Baby Angelica a pair of tiny Primeknit Stan Smiths. While she didn’t seem too interested, I was smitten. As someone who regularly wears Stan Smiths, these caught my attention because they were light and made from a soft knit material, like a cross between a plimsoll and a trainer. They’re chic and edgy, maybe even more so than the classic leather ones.
I couldn’t resist diving into some online shopping, where I found a pale pink pair that I plan to wear with light blue jeans and a cashmere sweater—once I’m done with my post-pregnancy wardrobe. Because I loved them so much right out of the box, I went back online to snag a pair in the classic white and green.
These trainers are incredibly comfortable and have a light, fresh look—perfect for summer. They go well with everything from a pastel trench and jeans to a breezy little dress. The knit texture gives them a luxe feel that’s less obviously sporty.
The Primeknits aren’t the easiest to find; they might be discontinued or a new version might be coming, which could explain the big discounts. If you’re after some comfy and stylish trainers for the upcoming warmer months, you can find the pale pink ones at Office in sizes UK 5 and 6 for £38, reduced from £79.99. They also have the white and green ones for £45 instead of £94.99, in sizes UK 4-8. You can also check Offspring for the pink and grey marl versions.
