In the Venn diagram of my personal interests, emerging trainer trends and Harry Styles occupy two steady circles—and this week, the unexpected happened: they overlapped! Spotted wearing the very new-season pair I’ve been eyeing since their launch in spring, Styles has officially co-signed one of this summer’s buzziest shoes.
Not hailing from your usual suspects like Nike or Adidas, these trainers come courtesy of Maison Margiela. The brand’s new Sprinter trainers (£690) are quietly emerging as one of the season’s most important styles. With Harry Styles now in the mix—and Jacob Elordi already spotted wearing his pair on repeat during a recent trip to Italy—this trend is building momentum right now. I imagine it's only a matter of time until the A-list's equally chic women catch on.
Defined by a slim, low-profile shape and rendered in a washed-out lemon yellow, the Sprinters are accented with soft grey and sky-blue detailing—a subtle colour combination that gives the shoe its understated edge.
Styles was seen wearing the pair earlier this week, styling them with his favourite chore jacket, straight-leg beige trousers and a bright red crossbody bag. Topped off with a baseball cap and sunglasses, his look carried the laid-back cool we’ve come to expect. In fact, the trainers blended so seamlessly into the outfit, I almost missed them entirely—but that’s their power. They channel the kind of effortless, worn-in appeal usually reserved for long-loved favourites.
Elordi, too, embraced the trend on the Italian coast, reaching for his pair multiple times. Teaming them with long-line shorts and a boxy tee, his relaxed summer uniform got an instant lift from the sleek, low-key silhouette of the Sprinter—a testament to the shoe’s versatility and easy charm.
