Sophie Turner Declares These Specific Adidas Are the Airport Sneaker of the Summer
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. While the red carpet is quieter in the summer, the airport certainly isn't. From now until August, an influx of A-list frequent fliers will board flights at the big three: LaGuardia, JFK, and LAX, dressed in their best loungewear—and their bid for the Adidas sneaker of the summer. On June 14, Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner was spotted post-flight at JFK airport. It's unclear where Turner jetted in from, but regardless, her effortlessly-cool ensemble lit up the Arrivals floor. Turner went the groutfit route for her travels, starting with a cropped, TikTok-famous bomber jacket from Scarlet & Sam, a burgeoning Melbourne brand. It embodied the classic silhouette to a T, with ribbed elastic cuffs, silver utility detailing, and oversized sleeves. In true bomber form, the boxy $230 jacket was padded with puffy fabric for extra warmth. (Perfectly for chilly airport AC.) From there, Turner maintained maximum coziness with straight-leg sweatpants, also in heather gray. For her personal item, Turner carried a leather tote bag, which matched her black sunglasses. Of all the pieces in her monochrome airport outfit, though, it's her sneakers that got celebrity travel fashion enthusiasts' attention. View Deal Turner chose a celebrity airport outfit staple: Adidas Sambas, also flight-approved by Olivia Rodrigo, Lindsay Lohan, Dakota Johnson, and Katie Holmes (to name a few). Her white-and-blue version hailed from a recent Wales Bonner collaboration. The signature Samba stripes were croc-embossed, alongside suede paneling, gum-rubber soles, and contrasting black stitching on the tongues and heels. View Deal Turner has been a devoted Adidas sneakerhead since the early 2010s. While the Wales Bonner kicks are her newest addition, her collection boasts Sambas and Gazelles in various shades. Last October, the Northampton native matched her royal blue Adidas Sambaes to her Eras Tour sweatshirt—presumably a gift from her close friend, Taylor Swift. The Sambaes are a platform reimagining of Sambas, complete with translucent sidewalls and textured overlays. View Deal Now that Turner's back in NYC, she'll likely take her Sambas out for a spin in the coming days. When she's in town, Turner usually stays at Swift's Tribeca townhouse. Keep an eye on the surrounding sidewalks for their impending girls' night outfits. View Deal View Deal View Deal View Deal View Deal

The 10 sneaker trends you're seeing everywhere this summer
Backgrid This year, no fashion item has made headlines quite like sneakers. The sneaker trends that have defined the first half of 2025—and those forecasted for the next six months—suggest many people are striving for anti-mainstream designs. In an effort to avoid another Samba saturation situation, new-gen style fans have taken to fresh silhouettes, or unearthed lesser-known, archival styles, as an alternative to those in the mainstream spotlight. Of course, there has been a plethora of cult styles that, like Sambas, have been worn by what feels like every celebrity and It-girl (strategic seeding is partly to thank for this, no doubt). In no particular order: the Nike Air Max, Puma Speedcat, and the Adidas Taekwondo and Tokyo have all been increasingly popular this year. And you can best believe that crowds at Oasis's reunion tour this summer will be two-stepping in Gallagher-inspired Adidas trainers (Liam Gallagher has collaborated with the brand on several iterations of Spezials). Other staff predictions that came true: the comeback of skater trainers, that 'could have been stolen from your best friend's older brother's room in 2002, swiped from next to his PlayStation 2', as British Vogue 's Daisy Jones recently observed. Along with the continued obsession with performance trainers and Gorpcore (Salomons, Hokas, Merrells, and Asics continue to reign supreme), plus an endless stream of collaborations that have us on high alert, there is a little something for everyone. As we head into the summer months, bold, bright colors and retro-inspired shapes continue to dominate, so don't set them aside just yet. Scroll on to shop all 10 sneaker trends to note for the rest of 2025. Getty 1 / 60 The bold and the beautiful Step aside, minimalism. This year, the sneaker-sphere is all about color—where more is more. Miu Miu's colorblocked, Gymnasium sneaker, walked the spring/summer 2025 runway and became an instant street style must-buy, while many rainbow-coded iterations of classic sneaker shapes from Adidas, Nike, and other heritage brands have hit shelves. Injecting something bold into your usual mix is a smart move—just ask Bella and Gigi Hadid, who have been forerunners for the movement.

Courtesy of Free People 6 / 60 Coolway nylon sneakers, $155 Available at Free People. Courtesy of 7 / 60 Sumptuous suede As fashion brands continue to divert to retro-inspired shapes, and sneaker houses keep plucking straight from the archive, we have seen a revival in suede fabrications, more so than plain leather. From Proenza Schouler's track-inspired sneaker for spring/summer 2025, an editor-favorite in bright cobalt, to Dries Van Noten's subtle update to their beyond-popular sports shoe, plus the success of Puma's Speedcat, a favorite of sneakerheads like Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski, suede is definitely on point.

The buzz around these hybrid sneakers, characterized by elements of ballet, such as delicate laces or satin fabrications (similar to a pointe shoe), continues to gain momentum. Harry Styles was recently spotted out and about in London, wearing Prada's Collapse sneakers, while early adopters of the trend included Bella Hadid and Amelia Gray, on the women's front. Given that Simone Rocha featured a new variation of satin low-tops on her fall/winter 2025 runway, the sneakerina surely will remain popular through the end of the year.

Backgrid 19 / 60 Sporty sprinters From Miu Miu to Maison Margiela, sneakers inspired by sporty, sprinter shapes are having their moment. It's a natural progression, given all the retro runners that are floating around currently. The main difference is that these have a treaded gum-sole, mimicking the idea of spikes, like those on the sole of their technical counterparts. Margiela's Sprinter has become one to watch, while collaborations such as Comme des Garçons x Spalwart are selling quickly. Bottega Veneta's reinvention of their Orbit sneaker, now in a low-runner shape, solidifies this as the next step in the world of throwback-inspired kicks.

Courtesy of Adidas x Sporty & Rich 25 / 60 Partnerships, partnerships, partnerships Collaborations have always been a powerful tool in the sneaker landscape, with the most coveted styles selling at inflated prices on resale sites long after their initial release. This year saw continued success for the ongoing partnerships between Wales Bonner and Sporty & Rich with Adidas, while Loewe x On returned for another round, and the MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon mule finally dropped. With more brands jumping on the bandwagon at every turn, expect the remainder of 2025 to be big on the collaboration front.

Are yesteryear shoes bound for a return? Nike's Noughties-hailing Shox—the 'anti-Samba,' which were reinterpreted as a mule by Martine Rose, saw massive traction, as well as the more humble Air Max 1s and even Converse, with the uptick in high tops. British Vogue 's Daniel Rodgers also discussed whether he should bring back his Balenciaga Triple Ss (granted, they're only seven years old, but they still feel kind of nostalgic) or whether they're still too earnest.

Courtesy of 37 / 60 Loaf up One of the many sneaker hybrids that entered the chat was New Balance's loafer-trainers. Elsewhere, Cecilie Bahnsen released sporty Mary Janes, via her collaboration with Asics, while Simone Rocha experimented with track-soled ballerinas, and Salomon unveiled a backless mule version of its XT-4 silhouette, made in collaboration with MM6 Maison Margiela. Salomon also joined forces with Sandy Liang to create coquettish ribboned sneakers, which tapped into the customization trend of adding charms, chains, and jewelry that has swept social feeds. This is a movement that Molly Rooyakkers, founder of @ says can make 'an otherwise standard item feel personal.'

Although these shouldn't reach Samba status—it would ruin their charm—Vans Slip-Ons and Old Skools have seen plenty of traction, through celeb endorsements from Zoë Kravitz and Jennifer Lawrence, who often sport in their ever-cool, off-duty wardrobes. Other true skate styles that we expect to see take off include the Busenitz from Adidas (already hard to get), and New Balance's Numeric Brandon Westgate 508, both of which run a little more under the radar.

Football fever already took over fashion during the men's Euros–football shirts and scarves became a style fixture off the pitch, so prepare for 2.0 next summer. At the same time, Oasis will be on their reunion tour–Britpop is also, of course, intrinsically linked with football culture–so prepare to see fans rocking three-stripe trainers (and parkas, and mod cuts…).

Enthusiasts pine after performance trainers, including Salomons, Merrells, Hokas, and Asics—the latter of which has outperformed most running shoe brands, according to Emily Minea, director of merchandising at GOAT, who dubs it 'the ultimate nondescript running brand.' On the street, everyone from Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid has backed the movement. With the continuous sell-out status of new drop colorways of the XT-6, to Loewe x On's latest collaboration style, the trend is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Celtic FC Adidas Samba trainers faces critisism by fans
The Glasgow club recently unveiled a special-edition Adidas Samba trainer featuring the Celtic crest, but the £100 price tag and overall design have sparked widespread backlash from supporters. One frustrated fan commented: '£100? For God's sake, Celtic, that's over the top.' Another added: 'Never liked the look of Sambas, but even if I did, I wouldn't spend £100 on them. Rip-off.' A third supporter echoed the sentiment, saying, 'To be fair, they look terrible. Having already released Samba and Gazelle, they should've gone with something different, like a ZX. "Also, charging £100 is shocking. I'll pick them up for the collection, but it's a shockingly poor release.' A fourth said bluntly: 'Scamming more money from the fans.' While the trainer release has drawn criticism, Celtic's new merchandise partnership with Primark has seen a warmer reception. The Glasgow Times reported that the collaboration includes a range of kid-friendly apparel now available in Glasgow stores, such as a green hoodie with the Celtic crest for £15 and a camouflage T-shirt priced at £9. (Image: Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) READ MORE: Primark's Celtic range sparks backlash from Rangers fans One shopper praised the collection, saying: 'Bought these for my boys — quality is unreal, looks like I just bought them from the Celtic shop.' Promotional descriptions call the hoodie 'a gift of sport and style for your mini-me,' while the T-shirt is described as 'a camouflage Celtic FC top that's hard to hide how cool it is.' However, the exclusive focus on Celtic has raised eyebrows among Rangers supporters, who are questioning the lack of representation for the other half of the Glasgow football divide. One shopper asked: 'What about Rangers ones?' while another echoed: 'Where are the Rangers ones?'
