Jennifer Lawrence Bets on the Massively Popular Sneaker That Dethroned the Adidas Sambas

The ultimate early-aughts sneaker trend has captivated those in the know like Jennifer Lawrence.

The time has come to say the definitive goodbye to the Adidas Samba and its successors are none other than the Puma Speedcat. This specimen rises as the main protagonist of the shoe trends of this autumn-winter 2024/2025 season. Although the Samba has been a symbol of style and versatility, its successors, the Puma Speedcat, have arrived to take over as the key piece for those looking for a more avant-garde style, overlapping with other appealing models like the Adidas SL 72, the Adidas Campus or the Méximo 66 by Otnisuka Tiger.

Its design, inspired by the world of motor racing, features a slim and slender silhouette that enhances speed and agility when driving. It has already captivated Gen Z. They are a nod to the retro style, but with a more sophisticated and elegant touch that adapts them to current trends. Their low profile and thin sole offer a sporty yet refined look, making them an ideal choice for both casual looks and more elevated combinations. A clear example of this is J.Law’s latest look.
