The sneakerina just earned another ringing endorsement. Zendaya officially hopped aboard the budding trend, joining the likes of Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lawrence, and Chloë Sevigny in embracing the ballet flat-sneaker hybrid.
While there are scores of sneakerinas on the market—ranging from the affordable Adidas and Pumas, to the higher-priced Wales Bonner and Louis Vuitton—a new bombshell has entered the villa. Zendaya opted for an unreleased pair from On with criss-crossing, pointe shoe-esque laces.
Her funky footwear choice resembles another shoe with another fashion girl stamp of approval: the ECCO Biom C-Trail. Sevigny, a longtime champion of the ECCO shoe, has been repping them for well over a year, styling them with everything from pastoral gingham skirts to denim smocks and gym shorts. Sevigny’s approval notwithstanding, the $200 Biom C-Trails have a fashion pedigree: they were designed by former Chloé creative director Natacha Ramsay-Levi. But the GORPy flat isn’t just for the fashion-forward.
With its rubber soles, the On sneakerinas proved a welcome shoe choice for Zendaya’s recent hike with her fiancé, Tom Holland, and their dogs. Zendaya went the high-low route, styling her shoes with a pair of black, below-the-knee shorts, a Pepto Bismol pink men’s sweater from The Row, and—of course—her Jessica McCormack engagement ring.
With an endorsement from Sevigny and Zendaya, it seems like we’ve got a hot contender for the top sneakerina silhouette.
