It's officially going to be a 'sneakerina' spring, and Marks & Spencer's latest launch is a stylish way you can tap into the trend.

As you can probably guess from the hybrid name, the 'sneakerina' combines trainers (or sneakers as Americans call them) and ballerina flats. This sounds pretty harmless, considering the two shoes are already popular and not exactly controversial. However, the result is something many people have mixed opinions about.

A-List celebs have, of course, already adopted this trend from Phoebe Dynevor to Bella Hadid, who was spotted wearing a £119 pair from Vivaia last year.

And now Marks & Spencer has launched its new style, the Suede Single Strap Mary Jane Trainers, priced at £50.

These stylish shoes feature a suede finish, which is right on trend for 2026. They also feature a comfy flat solethat makes them ideal for everyday wear, along with a signature Mary Jane-style strap.

Currently, there are only two colourways to choose from, with one being a dark brown and the second being a lighter taupe shade. To style these shoes, we'd recommend keeping it simple with a pair of straight-leg, blue-wash jeans, a crisp white t-shirt and a cool bomber jacket over the top.

What we love most about the 'sneakerina' trend is how it toughens up the classic ballerina shoe while also adding a feminine touch to the trainer.
