Not Sambas—The Trendiest Over-50s Are Pairing Jeans With These More Stylish Sneakers Instead.
Set aside the Sambas. While they are reliable, they are no longer the trendiest trainers in the fashion scene. Instead, the most stylish individuals are leaning towards a more refined and elegant option that feels timeless yet a bit more modern. Recently seen wearing hers with classic jeans, Uma Thurman paired her denim with a crisp white set of Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers. This selection is particularly apt given Thurman’s long history with the brand, as she famously brought the trainers to a cult following in the early 2000s during her role as The Bride in Kill Bill. Now, over twenty years later, she has returned to this iconic style.
With their low-profile design and sleek finish, Onitsuka Tiger's Mexico 66 trainers provide all the versatility of classic Sambas, but with a more polished look. In fresh white leather, they fit seamlessly into a capsule wardrobe, working just as well with jeans as they do with skirts, just like any Samba would. Continue reading to find Uma Thurman’s favorite trainers, as well as a selection of the best jeans to pair with them.
