Spikes and all.
further amplified the three-stripe craze. Soon after, the Samba hit its high. Last year more people were searching the shoe on Google than ever, and Stock X reported search volumes were up by 736%. Although the Samba is an original sneaker that will arguably never go out of style, once a trend hits mainstream fashion, we look for what’s next—something unique, unexpected, and niche. Enter: cleats.
Isabella Ackerman, a Brooklyn-based creative producer, was one of the aforementioned cleat-wearers outside of the Chlöe Sevigny sale. She was wearing a pair of red Adidas Copas, an indoor soccer cleat, with a short black skirt, knee-high, cutout socks and a jersey. “I found them on Depop a year and a half ago and bid on them immediately,” she tells me.
Another cleats wearer, spotted at Copenhagen Fashion Week, opted for a designer take. YeEun Kim, a Hong Kong–based fashion editor, wore a pair of pink Balenciaga Drive sneakers she found at a sample sale. She hasn’t seen anyone else wearing this specific style quite yet. “While they’re similar to the Samba in shape, I like the details on the upper part that give the shoe its layered and technical feel,” Kim says. “I guess I thought they’d make a great statement shoe.
Jenny Sharaf, a Bay Area–based artist who found her cleats at the Salvation Army, was similarly drawn to a bright pink cleat. “It is Barbie summer,” she says. “Hot tip to the sneaker girlies, always check the kids section.” Back in New York City, at the Maryam Nassir Zadeh store in Lower Manhattan, stylist Aidan Caldwell shares that, for him, wearing black and red Adidas Adi-Kees is somewhat of a research project. “I was looking for something different,” he says. “I would use the search terms, Adidas, insert sport, shoe. It could be fencing, wrestling, cheerleading—anything. I was trying to find something that was totally not meant for walking around, and to do exactly that in them.
