ZADIG&VOLTAIRE Women's Trainers

Zadig&Voltaire trainers combine whimsical embellishments with a thoroughly intellectual design philosophy. Founded in 1997 by Thierry Gillier, the Parisian label subscribes to the key tenets of Enlightenment thought: tolerance, equality and freedom. Each pair, in its own little way, is a reflection of these founding principles – an expression of joyous, unfettered individuality.

Take Zadig&Voltaire women's white designer trainers. Expect to see pieces stitched from smooth, high-quality leather – it is, after all, one of the Maison's most recognisable signatures. Beyond that, though, the styles are as individualistic as the women who wear them. You may find nostalgic schoolbook scribbles, for instance, or patches shaped like lightning bolts. Others sport snakeskin-effect embossing set against shiny detailing – at once vintage-inspired and playfully modernistic.

Crushed leather is another Zadig&Voltaire's hallmark. You'll see it across our ladies' leather trainers, with options ranging from gorgeously glossy black to lush cream. Pair yours with your favourite streetwear and let their glistening good looks bring some subtle bling to your next city outing. Or be rebellious and throw on a flowing flowery dress as a stylistic contrast. After all, it was Voltaire himself who said "dare to think for yourself". Sound advice, we think.
