Step up your sneaker game with the adidas K 74 in Black. Leather upper, signature 3-Stripes, cushioned midsole, and durable sole – classic football vibes with a modern twist.
The Salomon XT-6. First launched in 2013, these are the go-to for ultra-distance runs in gnarly conditions – and we totally get why. The latest drop keeps the same top-notch cushioning, durability, and descent-control, but with fresh colours and materials that make them just as slick for city streets as they are for trails.
The adidas Samba LT – yum. Made with a breathable textile upper and suede panels for ultimate spring vibes. Rock it in a standout yellow with contrasting green 3-Stripes for that classic adidas edge.
The Nike Air Max Plus isn’t just a trainer, it’s a bit of street drama for your feet. Wavy flame vibes bring the heat, while the breathable mesh keeps you from actually sweating it out. Sported by Romy on the left.
