Miu Who? Shoppers say these £56 trainers from Next are 'so similar' to £850 designer pair

• e-mail

Suede has seemingly replaced leather throughout early 2025, with a brown suede bag or jacket becoming a wardrobe must-have for many.

And if you love the trend as much as we do, we’ve got good news, as we don’t predict the hue going anywhere anytime soon. While the warm, touchable material is ideal for the colder months, brown suede bags, waistcoats, jackets and footwear can add an element of ‘boho chic’ to any wardrobe.

If you’re looking to make a new addition to your footwear collection and want to tap into the brown suede trend, we recommend these £56 trainers from Next that look so similar to Miu Miu’s sold out pair - but for a fraction of the cost (£724 less, in fact).

Next Tan Brown Premium Leather Slim Lace Up Trainers 

Crafted from premium suede leather and fitted with a Forever Cushioned footbed for optimum comfort, these designer lookalike trainers will soon become your everyday shoe. 

The stylish, on-trend brown hue is complimented by two sets of included white and orange laces for a look that looks so similar to a viral designer pair - but for a purse-friendly price.

‘Okay Next, giving us a little Miu Miu inspired trainer,’ said one TikTok creator. ‘If you’ve not looked on Next lately, you need to - the stuff is so good. I got these and I think they’re so cool and fun - they came with just the orange laces and the white ones were in the box, so I just did a little half and half New Balance X Miu Miu vibe - I love them!’.

‘I saw these and immediately sent the link to my husband’, added another creator. ‘They’re very Miu Miu-esque, and they come with white laces as well. They’re this really, really cool brown suede - real leather, and are so comfy as well!’.

‘I ordered the Miu Miu dupe trainers on the Next website,’ said a third creator. ‘I really like the colour of the trainers - this is such a trending piece if you want a pop of colour on your feet for spring. Really good quality and a great pair of everyday trainers!’.

Showcased in the Miu Miu SS24 show, the shoe soon skyrocketed in popularity and sold out instantly online (before reselling for almost double the cost on some resale platforms). The 530 trainers have been spotted on everyone from Rochelle Humes and Lily Allen to Amelia Gray.

For those that have wanted to get their hands on the iconic collaboration but can’t bear to part with upwards of £850 (and that’s if you manage to snag them for a good price), the Next alternative is a great option - costing a purse-friendly £56.

Available in three colourways: black, neutral and tan brown, the shoe has been crafted from premium leather with a Forever Comfort cushioned footbed - making them a great choice for an everyday shoe.

Ideal for pairing with jeans, skirts and workwear for an elevated look, the tan colour comes complete with two lace options - similar to the Miu Miu X New Balance 530’s.

Shoppers have said the shoes are ‘so comfortable’, a ‘great fit’, and ‘well priced’ compared to other similar designs on the market.

For an ultra-cool, laidback look, we’d pair the shoes with an oversized white t-shirt (or one of our favorite graphic t-shirts), and a pair of distressed jeans, with the option of adding a blazer over the top.

Want to get the look for yourself? Shop the shoes for just £56 via next.co.uk - though we'd be quick, as we predict they’ll sell out (again) very soon.
