New Look is a longstanding high street retailer we have long relied on for chic staples to see us from season to season, year after year.
Over the years, the fashion label has gone above and beyond to bring us designer-inspired fashion pieces, including an alternative to Jacquemus dress and Molly-Mae Hague’s sell-out tank top.
The latest luxury looking item we have spotted at New Look are the Tan Suede Lace Up Trainers, which made us double take because they look almost identical to Prada’s Suede Sneakers.
New Look Tan Suede Lace Up Trainers
Crafted from a split cow suede fabric on the outer, with a rubber sole, thick foam cushioning and heel to toe padding, these shoes deliver optimal comfort. They boast contrast laces, a flat sole and round toe, which are ultra versatile. Available in two colourways, including tan and leopard print, as well as UK shoe sizes 3 to 9.
New Look’s Tan Suede Lace Up Trainers have been crafted from a split cow suede fabric, with polyester lining, and polyurethane insole, while the sole has been created using thermo plastic rubber.
These flat trainers also boast heel to toe padding, as well as flexible padding for a comfortable fit. Plus, it is fully cushioned with a thick foam lining, which makes for a durable pair of trainers.
New Look’s trainers feature seam detail on the outside, as well as contrast white laces, which is what makes these trainers look very similar to Prada’s premium footwear design.
Prada’s Suede Sneakers have been made using calfskin fabric, it also boasts leather inserts, as well as a leather-covered insole, and a rubber sole measuring 20mm. Of course, Prada trainers would not be complete without the brand’s iconic Prada Milano logo on the front of the trainers.
Both designs also feature a round toe, and flat sole, which are all the craze of late. New Look and Prada’s trainers both come in two colours, but it is the tan hue that is most similar to the designer alternative. Prada has also created a stone colourway, while New Look has a leopard print design, which will complement any outfit.
The main difference, aside from the visible logo, is the price tag. New Look’s trainers fetch for £39.99, while the designer original costs £730.
We would style both trainers in the exact same way, with a pair of wide leg jeans and a white T-shirt layered under a cardigan. However, they are also perfectly paired with shorts, midi skirts and summer dresses.
If there’s anything we can attest to, it’s that New Look’s footwear are ultra comfortable, and are perfect for hours of wear.
But we are not the only fans of New Look’s Tan Suede Trainers, as fellow shoppers have a soft spot for the design too.
One reviewer – who goes under the name Caro15 – shared: ‘Love the fit and brown is the new trend for the autumn.’
While Emilia7 added: ‘Lovely trainers, so comfortable and real leather.’
Considering the price and close semblance to Prada’s trainers, it would be rude not to stock up on New Look’s trainers.
