1970s Nike Cortez trainers return in sky blue nylon

Nike

Nike is all too often overshadowed by other trainer labels on these pages (usually for good reason). But we do love the latest reissue of the classic Nike Cortez trainers.

A lightweight shoe that dates back to 1972 under the original name of the Tiger Corsair, it now gets a back to basics reissue in a light nylon finish and in a sky blue with white details. But there;s still room for the contrast jagged sole, round toe piece and trademark 'swoosh'.

Available on pre-order now, £50 is the price you'll need to pay.

I know we've just mentioned a pair of trainers, but we then realised that we didn't mention the limited edition Size? x Adidas Birmingham City Series trainers and tracktop, which go on sale tomorrow, 18th December 2010, if you fancy an early start on a cold morning.

Adidas Stan Smith 80s trainers get a new reissue

Smith

It is generally believed to the bestselling Adidas trainer in the company's long history, shifting around 30 million pairs since its introduction in 1971 (in various incarnations). This Adidas Stan Smith 80s reissue should bump that figure up a bit more.

This is the 1980s take on a classic, complete with thinner tongues and a less chunky silhouette. But aside from that, pretty much what you expect, with a white and green colour scheme, premium leather upper, perforated three stripes and off-white sole unit.

Pre-orders now being taken, £65 is the price.

New Adidas Samba trainers reissue in white and green

Samba

They have been around since the '50s, but the Adidas Samba trainers just keeps coming back year after year. Saying that, this reissue in white and green, inspired by the Tournament series, still has the ability to turn heads.

This all-round football training shoe is still very much the allrounder for daily wear, with a slim / low shape, leather upper, gum sole and that bold green detailing for the stripes and heel.

Finished off with a suede toe and gold branding, you can pre-order this colour option now, with a price of £55.
