'Incredibly comfy' New Balance trainers similar to Taylor Swift pair now 40% less

Recreate the Grammy winner's style with these New Balance trainers that are now £60 less. Taylor Swift surprised us all with a new album announcement this morning (August 12). With "The Life of a Showgirl" landing on October 13, it's safe to say Swifties are in a frenzy. Ahead of the Grammy winner's 12th release, we have been admiring her past fashion choices, mainly her love for New Balance trainers that she has sported at her beau Travis Kelce's NFL games and during her Era's tour. During rehearsals for her record breaking tour last year, Swift was spotted wearing the limited-edition Ganni x New Balance 1906R Trainers that are now, sadly, out of stock, but we have spotted a similar pair - and they are on sale. The bestselling design from the footwear firm offers a selection of different styles, with the Unisex 1960R offering a similar sleek aesthetic to the pair worn by the chart-topper, and they are now just £90, down from £150, saving 40 per cent. While these are not the only New Balance trainers to be worn by Taylor, with the red and white 500 sneakers selling out, this particular pair offers a distinctive, old-school design that can be worn with anything. New Balance Unisex 1906R Trainers £150 £90 New Balance Buy here Product Description Crafted from a breathable open-hole mesh material, they boast ACTEVA LITE midsole cushioning and ABZORB SBS heel cushioning, leading reviews to suggest they are "incredibly comfy" and "stylish" at the same time. Finished with Stability Web outsole technology to provide arch support, a shock-absorbing outsole, and the signature 'N' branding on the side these chunky trainers are available in three colours - moon rock, blue and new spruce. It's worth noting that the 40 per cent discount covers all three colourways, with sizes still available from 3.5 through to 11.5, although Swifties and footwear fans will need to act fast, as some are selling fast. For shoppers who'd prefer to keep prices a touch cheaper, then a couple of alternatives similar to New Balance designs include New Look's £24.74 Brushed Faux Suede Panelled Trainers and these Chunky Sports Trainers from Boohoo for £24.80.
