EmRata Wore the Perfect Sneakers to Buy If You Don't Want the Pair *Everyone* Else Has
Look around—no matter where in the world you live, you'll probably spot a pair of Adidas Sambas. That is how ubiquitous the sneakers once used for indoor soccer but now worn by literally everyone have become in the 2020s. I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing. I have a pair myself and have worn them down to the ground. They're comfortable and versatile and come in tons of unique color combinations and cool collaborations that you can get your hands on only if you're willing to do some serious digging. If you're looking for sneakers that are a little less everywhere, I'm just here to inform you all that you have options, and Emily Ratajkowski just wore one of my favorite ones.
The supermodel—who recently returned to New York City from Monte Carlo, where she attended the Monaco Grand Prix in quite the risqué racing-inspired ensemble—was spotted this week in Manhattan wearing a white crochet sundress from Mango with brown sunglasses and a pair of red Puma Speedcat sneakers, a style she's been wearing on repeat since late 2023. The shoe style was first introduced in 1998, with the design being inspired by Puma's long-standing relationship with motorsport. Aesthetically, they look like a more wearable alternative to the boots those same drivers she watched race last weekend in Monaco wore on the track.
Similar to Sambas, Speedcats don't stay in stock for long, and they're currently sold out. Luckily, I found some pairs on StockX that are yours for the taking if you feel like diversifying your sneaker collection this year. Scroll down to check them out.
