Fashion people have long loved an ugly shoe. From Tabis to Vibrams and everything in between, there’s seemingly no silhouette too awkward or off-putting to avoid cult appeal. With that in mind, I’m always open to a new “ugly” contender, and as we edge closer to spring, I’m convinced I’ve found fashion’s next obsession.

Taking cues from early-’00s football trainers, Nike’s T90s arrive with all the right nostalgic details: asymmetric lace detailing, the brand’s signature logo and a sporty circular motif stamped on either side. It’s a look that feels retro yet simultaneously fresh.

Tapping into the low-profile trainer trend, the T90’s resurgence feels perfectly timed. Practical but not boring, they wear well with denim and longline trousers now, and I can already picture them paired with swishy skirts and voluminous dresses once warmer days roll around.
