Forget Adidas—I’m Buying These COS Suede Trainers While They’re In Stock

There’s a time and place for big-name trainers. The viral Adidas Sambas or New Balance 530s are ones that I not only own and love but also see practically every day on my commute to and from work. This by no means discourages me from wearing them. I mean, they’re popular for very good reason, but now and again, my outfits call for a trainer style that’s more pared-back, sleeker and just that little bit more ‘grown-up’. Enter COS’ minimal suede trainers (£95).
