You have almost definitely seen the Alexander McQueen trainers around town. Distinguished by their chunky sole and contrast heel, the shoes have become a wardrobe mainstay piece among fashionistas and all-round boujie folk alike.
In fact, the McQueen trainers are one of those fashion pieces that are so classic, they'll never go out of style. To give you an indication of just how cult-y the trainers are, fashion search platform Lyst found that back in 2019, these trainers were searched every two minutes. Wowzers.

Whatever your style, the McQueen trainers are a versatile staple shoe. So what's the catch?
Well, the only downside to these trainers is their price tag. Securing a pair of these beauts will set you back a cool £420 - oooft.
