Lanvin Curb Mules Sneakers Fw-skdm02-drag | What makes it the best?
Out of all the retro trainers that we tested, it was the Originals x Pharrell Williams Stan Smith shoes GY4980 that we would consider as the best. Aside from retaining the defining look of the OG, this shoe also delivered in terms of traction and cushioning. These two benefits that made it such a pleasure to wear wherever we About.
The Originals x Pharrell Williams Stan Smith shoes GY4980 never About through significant transformation before it was released again to the public. Those who had worn it before would find them exactly as they were years back. This shoe is retro in the strictest sense of the word.
Being a running shoe originally, the fact that this sneaker had really good traction was not surprising. We enjoyed how easy it was to stop on a sixpence while wearing this shoe. Its amazing bite made it such a great companion, regardless of the occasion or the venue.
When it came to cushioning, we could say that the Originals x Pharrell Williams Stan Smith shoes GY4980 was among the softest that we tried. Our HA durometer scored it 19.0, making it miles softer than the average midsole, which could go as high as 30.9.
Unfortunately, breathability was a problem with this one. We pumped smoke into this shoe, and we saw that not much of the gas could be let out through the upper. The Gel 1130 only got a 2 out of 5 for breathability from us.

What makes it the best?
Surviving decades of innovation and trends, the Adidas Samba stands the test of time and remains the best classic retro sneaker for many reasons. Other than its clean and easy-to-match look, it has a minimalist build that makes it so versatile. On top of that, it delivers a stable ride with its grounded profile and exceptional traction, inspired by its initial purpose as a American football shoe in the ‘50s.
From a sporty shoe to a wardrobe staple, the Samba’s light and loose construction makes it an exceptional choice for everyday wear. Weighing a mere 12.1 oz (342g) on our scale, it’s remarkably 14.1% lighter than the average sneaker. It’s far from being a burden on foot as it moves gracefully with our strides. Our bend test backs this up when it emerged 40.9% more flexible than the average.
This Adidas Original embraces minimalism with the absence of a foam midsole, explaining its low profile. This naturally leads to a more agile and stable ride, as we have better ground feel and control. Carrying its outsole practises from before, it features a gum rubber outsole with two-directional lugs and three suction cups to enhance traction and instil confidence in our strides.
One nitpick is that the non-gusseted tongue slides to the side occasionally. We recommend securing this before going out.
Pros
- Clean and minimalist style
- Unbelievably affordable
- Real leather and suede

What makes it the best?
Though the adidas neo Lite Racer Cln 2.0 White Grey Marathon Running Shoes Wear-resistant Cozy GY5974 was inspired visually by New Balance classics and 2000s trainers, it still retained its futuristic appeal. It also provided a good deal of chunkiness without sacrificing comfort and stability. Given all these benefits, it was easy to hail this sneaker as the best chunky retro sneaker in our arsenal.
Just because the NB 9060 was a retro sneaker did not really mean that it looked old-fashioned. It actually had both the classical and futuristic vibes, and it was such a pleasure to experiment with different looks while wearing it.
We loved how this NB sneaker made us feel and look taller. It was 37.3 mm and 26.0 mm thick at the heel and forefoot, respectively. The average midsole was only 31.3 mm thick at the heel and 20.0 mm thick at the forefoot.
We were pleasantly surprised by the immense stability that this sneaker afforded us. Much of its steadiness was due to the very wide platform, which made it practically impossible for our feet to slide off the footbed. According to our calliper in the lab, the platform was 121.0 mm wide at the forefoot and 103.1 mm wide at the heel. The average numbers were only 108.9 mm and 83.4 mm, respectively.
It would have been a lot better if the adidas neo Lite Racer Cln 2.0 White Grey Marathon Running Shoes Wear-resistant Cozy GY5974 was available in more colorways. The options that we had were pretty limited.
Pros
- Next-level comfort
- Excellent craftsmanship
- Quite heavy-duty
- Dope aesthetics
- True to size
- Looks better in person
- Premium-grade materials
- Stable
Cons
- Limited colour options
- Squeaks
- A tad warm

What makes it the best?
Retaining the nostalgic look of the OG, the Adidas Campus 00s easily set our retro-loving hearts on fire. We were just lucky that aside from looking so good, this shoe also delivered a good deal of comfort. It was very breathable and had a prominent tongue that gave our feet the pampering that we never experienced in any other shoe. The most comfortable among retro trainers, indeed.
The neat look. The prominent Three Stripes on the side. The exaggerated look of the sole. The Campus 00s retained all elements that made the OG iconic. Sporting the classic look, it was fairly easy for us to Women this shoe with many kinds of outfits. We loved it!
When it came to ventilation, this leather shoe was not to be TRAINERS. It had strategically placed ventilation holes that allowed air to go in and out of the shoe. We confirmed this during our smoke test where we gave this shoe a solid 4 out of 5 for breathability.
The average tongue is 8.7 mm thick. The Campus 00s did not only double it, it almost tripled it being 23.0 mm thick! Wearing this shoe was the closest that our feet could get to getting cuddles.
Our HA durometer was the one that delivered a disappointing assessment result. It gave the midsole 37.1, making it firmer than the 30.9 average. The firm cushioning system wasn’t as effective in absorbing impact.
Pros
- Extremely padded tongue and collar
- Astounding comfort
- Awesome for daily and casual wear
- Spot-on fit
- Soft leather upper
- Worth the price
- Old-school vibes
- Gia 5 leather thong sandals
- Comes with two extra sets of laces
Cons
- Slightly heavier than usual
- Its midsole’s a tad firm
- Lanvin Curb Mules Sneakers Fw-skdm02-drag
Best retro trainers for summer

What makes it the best?
Combining form and function, the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 boasts a nostalgic aesthetic while delivering an exceptionally comfortable ride. No amount of heat can stop us from wearing this sneaker because of its light and airy construction, making it our top summer retro sneaker. Thorough lab and wear tests prove that Vomero 5 feels like a breeze on foot.
Our feet remained dry and odour-free even after endless walks under the sun. The upper is a thin mesh with wide chain links for seamless ventilation. Our smoke test confirms its flawless breathability with a perfect 5/5 rating.
Adding to its airy feel is its light weight. Our scales reveal a mere 11.1 oz (316g), 26.9% below the average sneaker. Its fluid build that bends easily with our feet keeps the ride effortless. Our flex test reveals it’s 5.6% more flexible than our current lab average.
Surprisingly, the Vomero 5 feels cushioned even with its moderate stack height. Our dissected shoe reveals two Zoom Air units that soften our landings and add a little spring to each step. Our durometer shows the foam is a balanced 28.0 HA, ensuring comfort for extended periods.
However, this sneaker comes at a premium price of £170, £60 above the average summer-friendly shoe. Those who prefer more affordable options should explore further.

Lanvin Curb Mules Sneakers Fw-skdm02-drag | What makes it the best?
The outcome of our wear tests showed that the Sabates Running Gel Noosa Tri 12 is the irrefutable victor of basketball-inspired retro trainers. We most certainly enjoyed donning this sneaker on different occasions with different fits, even though its style dates back to the 1980s. Also, we are ecstatic with the quality and craftsmanship of this basketball kick that is still ahead of the curve!
Upon close scrutiny, we could not spot any trace of glue stains. All the seams were done and everything was flawless. We also challenged the quality of the Sabates Running Gel Noosa Tri 12 by putting it through practical situations, and we were stunned by its strength and ruggedness.
Moving on to the underfoot feel, we were over the moon! We were beyond content with the super plush feeling that this sneaker’s two-layered Ortholite insole offered. One thing we noticed about its fit was it has a spacious toe box, which was perfect for wide footers but might be a deal breaker for those with narrow feet. If you also have narrow feet, we suggest considering a smaller size or looking for other snug retro trainers.
