THEthe boundary between sport And fashion it is more and more unstable. Sneakers, technical fabrics, garments designed to guarantee comfort and mobility: the dialogue between the world of fitness and fashion is constant and profitable. It will come as no surprise, then, that the latest obsession of the stars (and fashionistas) comes straight from the universe of trekking, of the mountains, of walks among steep and wooded paths. After the immense success of the adidas Samba, in recent months the Salomon sneakers have become the It Shoes able to combine coolness and comfort, revealing a glamorous and unexpectedly versatile soul that has already conquered celebs, from Bella Hadid to Emily Ratajkowski.
Identikit of the Salomon shoe
What makes the French brand’s sneakers so desirable? The design, unique of its kind, characterized by the overlapping of fabric and waterproof inserts; the sole, designed for the most uneven terrain, and a general one comfort which makes them perfect both for a trip into nature and for a day in the city, spent between business appointments and dinners with friends. Despite the technical properties, the silhouette of the shoe also makes it suitable for less sporty combinations, whether it is tailored trousers or power suit to add an extra touch. In the nineties, sneakers became hugely popular in the community of raverswhich thanks to the lacing system symbolic of Salomon creations could dance all night without worrying about having to fasten their shoes.
From trekking to the city, according to celebs
There are no precise rules on how to match Salomon shoes in urban contexts. As is often said of the black color, they go with everything. The inspiration in terms of styling, even unexpected ones, comes from the stars. Among the most famous fans of the brand, Bella Hadid made the brand’s sneakers an integral part of his daily uniform, worn in dozens of different ways. Following the example of the supermodel, you can choose to highlight the sporty aspect, combining them with bike shorts or maxi T-shirts used as dresses (in this case the touch of style is represented by the terry calf socks). Or you can opt for a more “adult” and refined version, wearing them together with soft trousers and a leather jacket.

On the other hand, those who would like to cancel any kind of reference to the world of sport, making Salomon shoes suitable even for a night out, the celebrity to look at is Emily Ratajkowski, wearing the brand’s sneakers with any temperature and outfit. In a casual and everyday version, they are worn with low-waisted trousers and a multicolored cardigan. For a more elegant occasion, you can opt for a long skirt and a coordinated top. The most original look? The one that includes the see-through dress, the black underwear and the Salomon, in a game of contrasts that seduces and conquers.
