I monitor trends for a living, and after so many years in the industry, you’d think nothing could phase me. But even I’ve been surprised by this new-season trainer colour trend taking off. Parking their long-favoured black and white pairs, the most stylish dressers I’ve spotted have been opting for a playful flash of green underfoot instead.

Dressed otherwise in head-to-toe black, Miley Cyrus stepped out earlier this week in a vivid pair of green trainers. Styled with an all-black ensemble, as Miley demonstrated, it delivers an optimistic jolt of colour without overwhelming the look.

After months dominated by low-key, minimalist silhouettes and neutral palettes, the appetite for colour is building again, and the green trainer trend aligns perfectly with spring 2026’s broader palette, where chartreuse, royal purple and canary yellow are taking off like never before.
