Adidas's sell-out cow print sambas are back
From cowboy boots and fringing to bootleg jeans and suede, the fashion world is going wild for Western-inspired style right now. But adidas took things one step further earlier this year when it dropped a new style of trainer featuring an all-over cow print. Putting a fresh spin on the ubiquitous samba and the sleek SL72 style, the bold print was an exclusive for Asos and sold out in all sizes within a day last time, so you'll need to be quick with this restock. So, has cow print officially stolen leopard print's crown? Rearing its head at Copenhagen Fashion Week in January, it went on to dominate street style looks in New York, coating everything from handbags to heels. A playful take on the Western aesthetic, cowboy print rose to prominence in the Sixties among bohemian dressers before having a comeback in the Nineties thanks to the decade's maximalism. Now, it's returned again as a direct challenge to the clean girl and quiet luxury trends. There are plenty of ways to wear it, from mini skirts and ballet flats to trousers. But if you prefer a more understated pop of cow print, trainers are the way to go. The good news is that the Adidas x Asos range has been restocked after an almost instant sell-out. Here's everything you need to know. A fashionable spin on the hugely popular trainers, these Adidas sambas are designed to be a style statement in their own right. Characterised by an all-over cow print, the trainer features the signature white three stripe detailing, tongue and heel, while chocolate brown laces and a pink leather lining add a playful touch. The trainers sold out within a day before, so if you want to get your hands on them, be quick. A fresh alternative to the prevalent Adidas samba, the SL72 trainers boast a more streamlined silhouette. Reminiscent of trainers from Adidas's archive in 1972, the design of this style is low profile and slick with a playful cow print finish, pink pops on the sole and black laces. Featuring the brand's instantly recognisable three stripes and trefoil logo, the trainers marry comfort and style. Trust us, the print is more wearable than you might think. Whether you play it safe with an all-denim look (lean into the Western feel) or experiment with colour by pairing them with red, blue or butter-yellow pieces, the monochrome print is sure to add intrigue to your look.

Emma Raducanu's ‘humiliation' of Canadian Open opponent she was accused of cheating against
Emma Raducanu will face Amanda Anisimova for the third time this year in the third round of the Canadian Open, with the Briton yet to drop a set thus far in Montreal British No. 1 Emma Raducanu is set to face a familiar opponent in Amanda Anisimova in the third round of the Canadian Open. The Toronto-born star has been making waves in Montreal after not dropping a single set so far in the tournament, most recently defeating Payton Stearns. Wimbledon runner-up Anisimova has also had a strong showing, although she only entered in the second round. And this could give the American, who returned to tennis after taking a hiatus in relation to her mental health, an important advantage as she seeks her maiden victory over Raducanu. The two players are known to be friendly off the court and have already faced each other twice in 2025, with Raducanu emerging victorious on both occasions - first at the Australian Open in January and then at the Miami Open in March. It was during the former that Raducanu drew the ire of Anisimova's fans, even being labelled a cheat for her actions. She was trailing 3-0 in the first set when she called for a medical timeout to receive treatment for a lower back issue. The 2021 US Open champion, who recently reclaimed top spot in the British rankings, went on to win six games without any response from Anisimova. However, her supporters were less silent as many took to social media and accused Raducanu of dishonesty. Numerous supporters even went so far as to suggest she called for the break merely to halt her opponent's momentum. One critic slammed X, exclaiming: "She's a cheater!! Running around winning three games after a MTO on a hip? Please!!! Faker." Another added: "This is flat out cheating by the way." When Raducanu and Anisimova faced off again in Miami two months later, the match ended with a decisive 6-1, 6-3 victory in the former's favour. The Anisimova who had previously put Raducanu under pressure in Melbourne was nowhere to be seen in Florida as she was dominated on the court. Sky Sports commentator Croft said during the match: "She is all over the place. That sigh says it all. Fed up out here. Not enjoying this. She's being humiliated." Anisimova needed a medical timeout in that same match to address wrist and hand issues that had troubled her earlier in the tournament. Controversy had already arisen during her third-round victory over 11th seed Mirra Andreeva when she took a timeout at 3-1 down in the final set to treat a blister on her middle finger. Russian teenager Andreeva's objections were dismissed by the umpire. The youngster had already taken a medical timeout herself for a stomach issue earlier in the game, of which Anisimova was all too aware. Anisimova took to Instagram to share a photo of her blistered right middle finger, conspicuously raised while the others were folded down. This gesture was not only a sharp retort to Andreeva but also a cautionary signal to Raducanu about crossing her. The image was accompanied by a sarcastic reference to Andreeva's remark: "'We all know why' at 3-1 up was a good one coming from the 1-2 first set medical." Anisimova conceded Andreeva's early medical timeout had disrupted her rhythm in the match. Although they may be on friendly terms for now, Raducanu might think twice before requesting a break when they clash on Friday in Montreal, with their encounter scheduled for just past 1am on Saturday morning UK time.
