Platform Shoes: Trending Colors & Styles

At Semana, every day we search the main e-commerce sites for the best purchasing opportunities for our readers. And if there is a type of article that is highly requested, it is the “classic” sneakers to go comfortable and discreet to work.

Without a doubt, the Adidas type terrace (Samba, Gazelle, Spezial…) are the most desired, but perhaps not the most suitable for going to work with more formal looks. Luckily, we found some Adidas perfect for the office and, best of all: they are being “liquidated” for truly bargain prices.

Adidas Courtblock, the most elegant “tennis” shoes

As its name indicates, the Adidas Courtblock are Inspired by classic sneakers from the 60s and 70s to play tennis (“court” literally means “tennis court”).

Adidas already has several models with this name, but these differ in that Its design is more formal and elegantwith panels entirely in synthetic leather and cleaner, more minimalist cuts. Ideal if we don’t want to attract attention.

They are available in various combinations of “cloud” white (the trend color of 2026) with details of different colors or finishes. The all-over white is a safe value to go to the office, but these reduced to 22 euros are also very elegant with their caramel sole.

Adidas Courtblock Bold, the “tennis” that add height

This is the most feminine variant of these sneakers, called Adidas Courtblock Bold, and which is not usually available in Spain. They stand out for the thick midsole, almost platforma detail that makes it more feminine and differentiates it from the “unisex” model.

Adidas describes them as a comfortable and resistant shoe for “the rigors of everyday life”, and that bold midsole helps add a few extra centimeters since the outfit in general looks more stylized and even formal.

The white versions with gold or iridescent details are equally discreet, but with a fresh and modern touch. And look at the version in black textured leather and caramel solevery sophisticated and luxurious.
