If the well-heeled feet of the European street style set are anything to go by, 2017's trainer trend de rigueur is one that's on the personal side: doodling.
Inspired by punk and bored 13-year-olds in toilet cubicles, those in the know are taking sharpies to their trainers, turning the blank canvas of pristine kicks into their own walking mood board. Complete with flames, skulls and 'f**k the system' messages, presumably aimed at all those world leaders who sit front row at fashion shows.
High fashion has already jumped on the movement, with the ever-trendy authority on modern streetwear Vetements collaborating with Reebok on a pair of graffitied InstaPump Furies - yours to pre-order for the cool price tag of £525.
While this is hardly the first time the world of fashion and youth culture have utilised purposefully messy etchings to deface - or decorate - clothing, it's interesting to see upmarket brands appropriating the look almost as soon as it's begun.
Before you start on your newfound punk leanings, may we suggest a few words and phrases that should make it onto your soon-to-be defaced trainers.
1.) f***k
2.) Donald Trump is bad
3.) Mum
4.) Down with money
5.) Sausage
