Well… the brand has done it again in my view with their new Lawnships which have been cleverly launched just in time for Wimbledon (another love of mine). As you can see the new trainers clearly take some inspiration from this great British sporting event. The trainers come in black or white and are unisex. BUT… the Lawnship is not a new trainer, it was first released in 1976 and was designed for legendary professional Ken Rosewall.

Here are TopStylista’s top 5 picks for each item!
