Katie Holmes Just Wore Chic Trainer Brand You Probably Haven't Heard of Yet

The trainers market is fiercely competitive, making it a real challenge for new or emerging brands to stand out. To cut through the noise, brands often need to hone in on a trend and redefine it with fresh, innovative appeal, creating products that resonate with what people want to wear right now. Another way to win hearts? Tapping into nostalgia. By crafting a shoe that feels timeless—one that could easily have been a wardrobe staple for decades—a brand can offer something enduring and effortlessly cool.

Enter Autry, a label quietly but confidently carving out its place in the trainer world. Known for its vintage-inspired aesthetic and understated charm, the brand is excelling at delivering shoes that feel both nostalgic and modern. It’s no wonder Autry’s simple yet iconic designs have caught the eye of actor and style icon Katie Holmes, who has been reaching for these just-under-the-radar trainers on repeat in recent weeks.

A master at identifying a sure-fire trend before it’s taken off, Holmes has been weaving Autry’s classic white trainers into her off-duty throughout the winter. Pairing them with blue jeans and a fuzzy sheepskin coat on chillier days, the actor has also embraced a casual Americana vibe with her chic trainers, relaxed denim, a plaid shirt, and a warm beanie when the weather allowed.

Cutting through the noise of the colourful trainer trend that’s seen people pack away their simple styles in favour of yellow, red and blue alternatives, Holmes’ choice of Autry’s clean white silhouette proves that there’s still an appetite for a classic and clean trainer trend this season. Chunky but not overwhelming, these trainers feel refreshingly timeless in a market awash with fleeting, trend-driven designs.

Priced at £180, Autry trainers sit alongside other cult-favourite labels. While they may not be the cheapest option, their versatility ensures an impressive cost-per-wear potential—making them a smart investment that’s likely to outlast many other pairs in your wardrobe.
