But it surely was Doja Cat’s footwear that actually caught our consideration. Adidas created a customized pair of white pointy-toe Samba slingbacks for the star, full with an ankle strap, kitten heel, and pink stripes. After so a few years of Samba dominance, we appear to be in an period with out a defining sneaker. Two distinct camps are rising as an alternative: whereas some persons are a fan of a slimmer silhouette, others favor a chunky tennis footwear.
Within the absence of a ubiquitous shoe, subversive sneakers are proving a well-liked various. The sneakerina (a ballet flat–sneaker hybrid) has discovered movie star followers in Chloë Sevigny, Amelia Grey, and Dua Lipa—to not point out fanfare on the runway. However maybe, with this hybrid sneaker-heel, Doja Cat and Adidas have cracked the code to refreshing the almighty Samba.
