Pause the Sambas—I Can Tell You're a Fashion Enthusiast If You're Sporting This Sneaker Trend Instead.

      Avoid sticking to Sambas. If you're looking to invest in a new pair of trainers this summer, there are far more stylish options to consider. For example, Dua Lipa was recently seen pairing track pants and a vibrant green T-shirt with one of the season's most sought-after sneaker collaborations. Opting for the Completed Works X Asics GEL KAYANO™ 20 Black Flower Sneakers (£225), Dua moved away from the low-profile trainer trend that has been popular in recent years and embraced a bolder silhouette. While Sambas have gained a cult following due to their understated versatility, Dua's choice features a chunkier sole and a more sculptural design, while the black color maintains its practicality.

      With beaded floral accents, the trainers have intricate details that give them a softer, summery vibe without being overly colorful. Though the floral details add character, the dark color scheme keeps them looking contemporary and timeless. Dua paired hers with sporty track pants, but I can easily envision them with straight-leg jeans or track shorts for a laid-back, London-appropriate summer outfit. It’s no surprise that Dua's exact sneakers are nearly sold out, but there are numerous black trainers that capture the same essence.
