While handbags and hair trends rotate on the regular, it’s harder to come by a sneaker that has the entire world in a chokehold. Adidas Samba sneakers have been It Girl-approved for a while now, and it’s easy to understand why.
They're understated and classic, but still buzzy enough to look on trend. And considering they were first launched in 1949, it's pretty surprising that this style has managed to maintain its relevancy almost 75 years later.
Watch: The Shark Tank shoes Americans can't get enough of. Post continues below.
But if you’re looking for something a little different (because let’s face it, everyone has the Sambas), then I think the Onitsuka Tiger is the next big thing.
Similar to the Samba, the shape of the Tiger is streamlined, making it extremely easy to style, whether you match it with maxi skirts or wide-leg denim.
These sneakers are also available in multiple colourways and styles, so whether you prefer a low profile or a high-top you’re covered.
One of the reasons the Samba is a coveted shoe is because it has maintained its vintage charm – the quintessential Adidas stripes, the retro canvas or leather material (whatever you fancy), and the rounded toe all adds to its appeal.
And the same goes for Tigers.
Trust me, in a few months, everyone is going to be rocking these kicks, and you’ll think back to the moment where I told you so.
Anyway, after all this talk, it wouldn't be fair on you if I didn't recommend my favourite pairs, so take a look at the ones on my wishlist below.
