Brought to you by Opera Lane. 

It’s our shoe of choice for everyday comfort.

You can’t beat a dependable trainer for nipping about town and these days, you can pair them with anything from jeans to a pencil skirt.

As 2023 kicks into gear, Cork’s fashionable folk are earning serious streetstyle points by opting for statement high-top trainers, designed with basketball shaping in mind, chunky sneakers in fun colourways and simple white styles for vintage Nineties vibes.

Whatever your taste in kicks, there’s plenty to choose from on Opera Lane right now.
