When it comes to finding trainers that are as comfortable as they are stylish, the high street can be a little limited. They're either available in trend-led colourways and silhouettes, or they're perfect for that hour-long walk when all you need is support and comfort. They're rarely both.
But we think we have found the trainer with the perfect balance of style and comfort. And when we heard that one of our former GLAMOUR cover stars and actor from one of our favourite ever TV series was the face of its new campaign, we were sold. Emily In Paris star Ashley Park has made a return to her Broadway roots for the first time since her role in the Mean Girls musical by performing an original song and dance in the new ad for Skechers' popular Uno fashion trainers.
“The theatre has always felt like a home away from home to me, so I love that it’s the set piece of my first Skechers campaign,” Ashley says. “I’ve had a soft spot for Skechers ever since my first pair as a kid that I danced around in for all of recess, and now I really am obsessed with these comfy stylish shoes after hours of dancing onstage in them alongside these amazing performers! [It] feels very full circle and I’m so excited for what comes next!”
“From her bold couture to her impeccable singing and dancing, Ashley Park seamlessly blends modern and classic glamour in a way that elevates our Skechers Uno collection,” says Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “While some know Ashely through television and others know her from Broadway, the one constant is that fans love her memorable performances, sense of humour and unforgettable outfits. We’re confident that Ashley’s song about Skechers will constantly be in the back of people’s minds while shopping for that next perfect pair.”
The Skechers Uno trainers are made using innovative comfort technologies (that make these shoes a blister-free zone) and are famed for their signature air-infused wedge outsole, modernised silhouette and vibrant colourways. The Uno trainers have been seen everywhere, from high-end catwalks to fashion magazines to on Insta-famous street style stars, so you know they're the real deal.
Add some sparkle to your spring-summer 'fits with the Skechers Uno Shimmer Away range – available in white, black, dusky pink and crimson red with a synthetic durabuck upper and a pretty metallic trim. Or why not try the Night Shades range with Unos in of-the-moment vibrant hues, from hot magenta pink to neon green and highlighter yellow? For something a little more understated, look to the Stand on Air range, which comes in a variety of colourways from khaki green to jet black, or check out the retro-style colour-blocking in the Uno 2 range. Finally, for graphic print lovers, the Highlight Love range features iconic heart designs by famous muralist James Goldcrown.
All Skechers Unos are crafted with an Air-Cooled Memory Foam comfort insole, and a visible Skech-Air air-cushioned midsole. What's more, the trainers are on the more affordable end of the high-street fashion trainer scale, ranging from £80 to £95.
We don't know about you, but we'll be taking a leaf out of our girl Mindy Chen's book and stocking up on super-comfy and chic Skechers for summer. And trying to get that impossibly catchy song out of our heads.
