How to wear the year’s most popular trainers – loved by Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lawrence
This year, the style that every celebrity and street style sneakerhead is wearing is the humble (and affordably-priced) Adidas Samba trainers
Every so often, footwear that ordinarily flew under the radar is catapulted into the zeitgeist and immediately given cult status.
It happened with Adidas Stan Smith trainers circa 2015 (they were originally released in 1965), and the same with Birkenstock Boston clogs’ TikTok-fuelled revival last summer (having been released almost fifty years ago).
This year, the style that every celebrity and street style sneakerhead is wearing is the humble (and affordably-priced) Adidas Samba trainers, priced from €120. Rivaled only by the Stan Smith and Superstar, the Adidas Samba sits amongst the Three Stripes’ most prolific creations of all-time, according to Sneaker News.
A series of collaborative efforts and countless celebrity sightings has revived the German footwear brand’s 73-year-old icon. This year, the trainers have been worn on repeat by Jennifer Lawrence – we’ve clocked her wearing three different pairs over the past few months – which is a change from her allegiance to The Row’s ballet pumps, alongside Kendall Jenner, Katie Holmes, and Hailey Bieber.
It has been a staple of the street style scene this summer too, and it’s little surprise that the trainers face frequent re-stocks and sell-outs. If, like us, you are waiting for the next drop, may we suggest you gleam some inspiration from the best celebrity and street style sightings of the year’s best trainers? Discover our picks below.
