Mary-Kate Olsen Isn't Swayed by "Trendy" Sneakers: The $110 Pair She Wears Even More Than The Row Shoes
These classic Adidas sneakers have the Olsen seal of approval. Here's how to style them for a chic look.
If your goal this year is to build a wardrobe of classics, it might be worth taking a cue from Mary-Kate Olsen. True to the ethos of her brand, The Row, Olsen doesn't chase trends. Instead, she invests in high-quality, timeless silhouettes and wears them for years. This is especially evident in her sneaker choices, where she wears the same enduring silhouettes year after year. The Adidas Sambaes, in particular, remain one of her go-tos, and she proved it by stepping out in them in NYC yesterday.
While making a rare public appearance alongside art dealer Vito Schnabel, Olsen showcased her signature downtown chic aesthetic. She grounded her look with the classic Sambae sneakers, pairing them with a long, single-breasted velvet coat and slim-fitting black trousers. The polished, sophisticated ensemble was completed with a chunky paisley-print scarf, a brown croc-embossed bag, and black sporty sunglasses.
On Mary-Kate Olsen: Adidas Sambae Sneakers ($110)
Olsen has owned the Adidas Sambae sneakers for over four years and often chooses them over her The Row flats. Unlike the popular Adidas Samba, the Sambae features a slightly elevated sole—1 1/4 inches to be exact. This platform not only adds height to Olsen's petite frame but also lends a stylish edge. These shoes are also far more understated and not a pair that everyone has—true to Olsen's style and to The Row's DNA of quiet exclusivity.
If you're looking to refresh your footwear rotation with a pair that's Olsen-approved, consider this your sign. Scroll on to discover and shop the Adidas Sambae sneakers and the elevated essentials Olsen paired with them.
