With spring officially here, so suddenly you have a reason to go running outside again (if you ever needed one). All the top brands acknowledged this by launching their hottest trainers this week – including the relaunch some childhood heroes and other legendary classics. Here is what you should be investing in this season.

Adidas Originals Xplr Circular Knit

Also known as the indolent man’s NMD, Adidas’ XPLR model gets one up on its not-too-far-removed cousin thanks to an innovative lacing system that uses elasticated rope tightened and loosened with a toggle pull. Add to that a breathable knitted mesh upper, leather overlays and cushioned midsole and you’re left with a winning combination.

Available from JD Sports, priced at £70.

Reebok Workout Low Clean X Mita

This is the first official partnership in Reebok’s ‘Year of fitness’ campaign, the sportswear brand has teamed up with legendary Tokyo sneaker retailer Mita to update the Workout Low. The classic cross-trainer has gained a military-inspired vibe, having lifted its brown suede and canvas body and grab-handle heel tabs directly from the rugged combat boot.

Available from Hanon, priced at £95.

Available from Hanon, priced at £149.
