adidas has more than one trainer look moving right now. Samba and Handball Spezial are still everywhere, but slimmer archive pairs like Japan, Tokyo and Italia 70s are pushing the low-profile look further, while Gazelle and SL 72 keep plenty of colour and retro sportswear in the mix.
The women's adidas trainers range at Pro:Direct Lifestyle brings those shapes together with newer options like Adizero Evo SL. Start with how much trainer you want underfoot. Some pairs sit flat and neat, others add more sole, cushioning or running influence.
Popular Women's adidas Trainers
The adidas Japan is one of the strongest pairs in the range right now. Its slim shape and stripped-back upper feel particularly current next to the chunkier trainers that dominated a few seasons ago. It sits close to the foot and works best if you want something clean under denim, relaxed trousers or longer skirts.
Handball Spezial stays closer to adidas' terrace and indoor-sport history. Suede, gum soles and a slightly softer shape make it easy to wear without feeling too polished. Samba OG is sharper and slimmer again, with its football roots still doing plenty of the work.
Gazelle gives you more options. Gazelle Indoor keeps the familiar low profile but adds a translucent gum sole and plenty of colour. Gazelle Bold stacks the sole higher, giving you more height and a heavier shape while keeping the recognisable Gazelle upper.
Japan, Tokyo, SL 72 and adidas Archive Styles
The interesting part of the current adidas range is how deep the archive goes.
Tokyo and Italia 70s have that slim vintage-training shape that feels right when you want less bulk. K 74 follows a similarly understated route, while SL 72 brings more obvious retro-running influence through its nylon, suede and lightweight profile.
Campus 00s sits at the other end. Wider, thicker and more skate-influenced, it still works if the low-profile move is not for you. Superstar II gives you another substantial leather option with one of adidas' most recognisable toe shapes.
Then there is Adizero Evo SL. It looks much closer to a modern running shoe than an adidas Originals classic, with more cushioning and a lighter, faster shape. For everyday wear, it gives you a very different option to Samba, Spezial or Japan.
Find Your Women's adidas Trainers
If you want slim and low-profile, start with Japan, Samba, Spezial, Tokyo or Italia 70s. Gazelle Indoor adds a little more colour and texture, while Gazelle Bold and Campus 00s give you more weight underfoot. SL 72 sits neatly between lifestyle and retro running, with Adizero Evo SL taking the technical look further.
Then choose the colour. Black and white adidas trainers stay easy, while brown, cream, burgundy, green and gum-soled pairs work particularly well across the current archive shapes.
