The 90s have been making a welcome comeback for the last couple of seasons, so naturally we’re delighted that a brand synonymous with our fave recent decade has arrived this week. ellesse have landed with a selection of simple, understated styles for men. This has inspired us to take a look at some of our favourite 90s inspired sneaks that are in at the moment.
Technically, these understated tennis trainers from the Italian sports brand were released in the late 80s, but hopefully you’ll let this slide. Making a comeback in a huge way, the simple clean lines of this classic plimsoll should tempt both sports fans and sneakerheads alike.
Women’s PUMA R698 Trinomic Splatter
Back in 1991, the world was hungry for chunky running profiles and boy did PUMA answer in style. The R698 was born. Fast-forward 24 years and this Trinomic Splatter update combines the perfect bold silhouette with a colourful and unusual finish.
Ahead of its time in the 90s, the Tubular Runner has become a firm favourite here at schuh. With an outsole designed with tire tubes in mind, the contemporary profile combines the retro running aesthetic with contemporary technologies and materials.
Ok so we’ve maybe let this slip – but this other late 80s release really didn’t come into its own until the following decade, when this signature white leather aesthetic became essential casual street wear. A legend in its own right, the revival has seen it bounce back in popularity.
So, will you be jumping on the nostalgic 90s trend? Let us know how. You can also shop the rest of our men’s trainers and women’s trainers.
