You might have noticed that there's a colourful common thread running through the shoe collections of very adept dressers right now. Step outside in London or scroll on your feed and it won't be long until your eye is drawn to this bright sneaker trend as, everywhere I look, fashion people are styling yellow trainers with all of their best outfits.
The easiest way to breathe new life into your staples, the yellow trainer trend is a fast-becoming one of the biggest shoe movements of 2024. Ensuring a comfortable stride and an eye-catching silhouette, the trend is taking off and celebrities and fashion people have shown their commitment.
A playful retort to the more serious kitten heels and mary janes that have taken off this year, the yellow trainer trend offers a practical alternative that works with casual outfits of jeans and shorts but also more directional items, too; think printed dresses and "strange" skirts.
Catapulted into popularity by Japanese footwear brand Onitsuka Tiger whose viral Mexico 66 trainers were one of the hardest sneakers to get your hands on last year and, indeed, for much of this year, too. This demand meant it wasn't long before other brands starting coming up with yellow trainers of their own.

While Ontisuka Tigers are still very much a thing, Adidas now hosts a compelling collection of bright yellow designs across its iconic silhouettes, and Salomon has experimented with the sunny shade, too.
Now that I've pointed the trend out, I know this is one you'll start to see more of as you go about your day—so much so, I have a feeling you'll be tempted to invest in a pair of your own (if you haven't already done so, that is). So, I've assembled the best yellow trainers on the market right now, so you can peruse them and find your perfect pair.
Scroll on to see our edit of the best yellow trainers from a myriad of brands.
