Popsugar Fashion Fashion Shopping Best New Women's Sneakers and Trainers to Buy 2021 It's Time to Upgrade Your Trainer Collection, and These Are the Best New Kicks to Buy Right Now 1 September 2021 by Navi Ahluwalia First Published: 18 March 2021 Image Source: Getty / Edward Berthelot As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. After 18 months of lockdowns, it's safe to assume trainer collections everywhere may be in desperate need of a refresh. Our trusty Adidas Superstars have most definitely seen us through our one prescribed walk a day, but as the time comes for life to begin again, so does the time for new kicks. If, like us, your once-shiny and white Air Force Ones have officially turned grey, we're afraid it's a sign that changes need to be made. That said, buying new trainers can be overwhelming (especially when new collaborations drop on the daily) and expensive, so we're here to help you find the perfect new pair. Whether it's a clean and classic Club C from Reebok, a platform high-top from Converse, or a chunky dad trainer from New Balance, we've got exactly what you're looking for. Scroll through to take a look at the latest releases from all the best footwear brands.
