Kendall Jenner just swapped sambas for this cult Adidas trainer

Kendall Jenner just swapped sambas for this cult Adidas trainer

Independent10-03-2025

In a rare public date, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner attended the BNP Paribas Indian Wells Open on Sunday, alongside Kendall Jenner. In lieu of tennis whites, Kylie wore a vintage Chanel blouse while Timothée opted for a striped shirt. As for Kendall, the model leaned into the sports occasion with a pair of cult Adidas trainers.
An early adopter of the ubiquitous samba style, Kendall has regularly worn her black or white pair over the years, whether styling with her signature straight-leg jeans or an oversized blazer and mini skirt.
But this time, she sidelined her sambas in favour of the newly re-released Adidas Tokyo trainer. The style was originally designed as a slim training shoe for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. For 2025, it's been reissued and reimagined, featuring a double-stitched T-toe and a smooth gum sole.
Characterised by the same retro charm as the sambas, the Tokyo style boasts a more streamlined silhouette and a Seventies-suede finish. Available in eight colourways, from off-white and green striped to a playful metallic hue, Kendall styled the off-white pair with white trousers and a black crop top.
If you're ready to swap your sambas for the latest viral Adidas trainer, here's where to shop the Kendall Jenner-approved Tokyo style.
First introduced in 1964 for the Tokyo Olympic Games, the trainers became available to shop in 1973. Continuing the trend of Adidas re-releasing archive styles (think the Japan and samba 62 style), the brand reissued the Tokyo last month.
Distinguished by their low-profile design and lace-up fastening, the trainers feature a padded cuff for extra comfort and thin gum sole (they're a great alternative for those who love the slimline look of the cult Onitsuka tigers).
The Seventies-style suede outer gives the Tokyo trainers a retro feel, while the three black stripes keep them sporty. Adding signature detail, the trainers feature a black 'X' on the heel.

Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) Ending Explained – The post-credits scene changes what we know about Prey

Predator: Killer of Killers Plot Summary Killer of Killers is the newest addition to the Predator franchise. It's an animated anthology set in different times, such as the Viking era, feudal Japan, and the US during World War II. Each period has its specific Yautja targeting humans in their quest to prove they're the strongest hunters in the universe. The three main characters trying to survive are Ursa (a Viking), Kenji (a ronin), and Torres (a pilot). As in all Predator movies, these people are living their lives when, suddenly, the alien arrives, wreaking havoc. When she was a child, Ursa was forced to kill her dying father or choose to die in his place. Her dad forced her to kill him and avenge him when she was older. Now, that's her mission. But the creature reveals his presence right after she accomplishes her desire. Kenji's father was a fierce feudal lord, and the man demanded that Kenji and his brother fight each other to prove themselves. The kid ran away and prepared to get revenge when he was older. As an adult, he strikes at his brother's domain with all the contempt he has been carrying throughout his life. Unlike the others, Torres had a more peaceful life. However, he never went after his dreams. So, after being drafted, he arrived at the place where he could become the pilot he always wanted to be. The only problem is that his enemy wasn't only other soldiers but a Yautja spaceship. Do Ursa, Torres, and Kenji die? After their terrible battles against the Predators in their time, each of the humans managed to come out on top. The monster killed Ursa's entire clan in front of her, even her son, but she survived. In their heated battle, she tricks the alien, breaking the icy floor below him and submerging the creature. He tries to drag and drown her with him, but she uses his weapons to kill him. The Yautja interrupts Kenji's fight with his brother and destroys everyone in his path while trying to kill the ronin. Kenji almost doesn't survive, but he meets his sibling again, and they work together to defeat the threat. Although they accomplish that, Kenji is the only one who makes it out alive. Torres analyzes a strange object that pierced through one of the army's planes and finds out they have a new and strange opponent. However, he could never have imagined how superior and out of this world that enemy would be. With his spaceship, the Predator obliterates everyone in his way, leaving only Torres alive. The boy concocts a crazy but inventive plan and destroys the monster's vehicle. However, that isn't the end of any of these stories. Later, we find out the aliens have kidnapped Torres and the other survivors and taken them to the Yautja planet. What happens on the Yautja planet? Torres wakes up in a weird spaceship wearing a collar and surrounded by aliens. Even though he finds two more humans like him there, Ursa and Kenji, they can't understand each other's languages. So, they arrive on the planet not knowing anything. Then, what seemingly is the Yautja emperor, tells them they have to kill each other, and the winner will fight him. Kenji learned from his previous fight that they must work together if they want to survive, but the Viking has a different opinion. She charges him and the boy, who's also reluctant to fight, and almost kills Torres. While Ursa and Kenji fight, Torres is eaten alive by a massive monster. However, the movie quickly shows he's alive and trying to fight the creature from the inside. All of them work together to defeat the alien, but the kid is still inside it, so he's mistakenly taken out of the arena. Ursa keeps trying to kill Kenji, but he lets go of his sword, refusing to fight. That paralyzes her, leaving the woman confused about what she should do. That sets them as failures in the emperor's eyes, so he decides to activate the collars, which will explode their heads. Thankfully, Torres gets back there, revealing he deactivated the bombs. Now that they're free, they go after the emperor Yautja and its spaceship. While Ursa and Kenji distract the monster, Torres finds a way to use the vehicle and starts the engine. Although they get inside it, they still aren't in the clear. More Predators arrive and use a mechanism to chain the spaceship, preventing it from flying away. That's when Ursa decides to sacrifice herself to save them. She jumps off after leaving her final words, 'Don't avenge me,' and destroys the mechanism. The creatures easily kill her, but her new partners manage to survive and fly off into the distance. Who is inside the cryo pods? Right after that, we get a glimpse of somewhere on the Yautja planet. There are many cryo pods with mysterious creatures that the aliens have probably hunted down. Even though it's impossible to see what's inside most of them, we zoom in on one with a familiar face. Naru, the protagonist from Prey, is frozen inside one of the pods. This implies that, like with Torres and the others, the Predators have gone after her again and taken her to their planet. There's still a lot to find out, but this might mean a sequel to the movie. Or the girl might even appear in Badlands, the franchise's next instalment, giving us more insight into her situation.

How Yoshitomo Nara's moody kids conquered the art world

Yoshitomo Nara's children don't seem very happy. The 65-year-old Japanese ­artist has been painting them since ­adolescence: small bodies with big heads, soft cheeks and hard stares. What are they thinking, these ­little ones? Their fixed expressions are less likely to suggest innocence than malice – or misery. Sometimes a slogan in English, daubed by Nara onto an otherwise plain background, might offer a clue. 'Stop the Bombs,' says one, above a scrappy figure who eye-balls the viewer furiously, two small fangs emerging from the ­corners of her downturned mouth. 'Don't Waste Another Day,' implores another, over a kneeling figure, her legs tucked beneath her in supplicatory seiza pose. Whatever it means, during the past few decades, Nara's cartoonish art has become serious business: in 2019, Knife Behind Back, a characteristic work of a scowling green-eyed girl in a red dress, sold at auction for £20 million. This ­summer, the Hayward Gallery, in London, is staging Nara's biggest Euro­pean exhibition to date. Here, the artist introduces eight artworks, from the 150 that will be on show, which chart the evolution of his now unmistakable style. With Horses? 1984 This early work is from my fourth year as a student at Aichi University of the Arts. I began doodling on an envelope I happened to have at hand and liked the way the coloured pencils appeared against the tone of the paper, so I ended up drawing several pieces. This was a brand-new envelope, but later when I was studying abroad in Germany, I started drawing on discarded envelopes I found in the rubbish bin in the school office. People on the Cloud, 1989 I produced this picture during my first year at art school in Germany. I wanted to bring together the many interesting elements in my mind into a single world. It's as if the things I finally managed to fit in were walking on the very edges... an excess of elements. Sleepless Night (Sitting), 1997 In the 1990s, I started to treat my ­backgrounds with a single colour while still maintaining a sense of nuance. If you look at this painting up close, I think you will see that the surface is very delicate. I made an effort to make the atmosphere surrounding the figure blend over the entire image, otherwise the figure would look like it had just been cut out and stuck on. Missing in Action, 1999 Missing in Action represents the style of mine that is most ­recognised by viewers. This style began developing at the beginning of the 1990s and was established by the end of that decade. I try to express both colour and motifs with a minimum of simple elements. Cup Kid, 2000 This image shows a little child playfully added into a ukiyo-e postcard. Adding something to an existing printed piece like this can serve as training to strengthen the imagination. My Drawing Room 2008, ­Bedroom Included, 2008 I actually prefer drawing in a small room, the size of a child's ­bedroom, rather than in a large studio. It connects me back to my childhood, when I would doodle for fun. The things I have studied and learnt about art since my ­adolescence are important, but there's also something in those earlier feelings that shaped my individuality. For me, this piece feels like returning to the cocoon from before I hatched into the person that I am today. One Foot in the Groove, 2012 I joined together six old window frames with the glass removed to create one board, then painted ­onto it a child lying on the clouds. After I had finished, I added the words 'One Foot in The Groove' in red... but realised immediately afterwards that they were unnecessary, and painted over them. I didn't come to this realisation until I had finished writing the words, so it ended up becoming a little detour. But being able to laugh at myself and think, 'I'm such an idiot,' is part of the fun of creating. Miss Moonlight, 2020 It's difficult to look directly at the sun, but you can stare as much as you want at the moon. And, of course, moonlight is a reflection of sunlight, so you can also quietly feel the presence of the sun in it. Yoshitomo Nara is at the Hayward Gallery, London SE1 (), from June 10-Aug 31

Team GB sprint star admits European hat-trick bid is mission 'to redeem myself'

The sprinter had a disappointing 2024 summer ruined by injury, missing out on defending his 200m crown before failing to make the 100m final at the Olympics, but is now on the comeback trail Zharnel Hughes has a European hat-trick on his mind as he begins his road to redemption. The 29-year-old missed out on defending his 200m continental crown at Rome 2024, when he was forced to withdraw from the competition due to a hamstring injury, and failed to make the 100m final at the Olympics which followed. Hughes then pulled out of the 200m in Paris through injury, with his hamstring again the issue, leaving him determined to put the record straight heading into this summer and beyond. ‌ "It was very difficult for me." he said. "The injury happened the week before the European Championships and I was looking forward to going back and regaining that title, it was on my mind. ‌ "I really wanted to go and give the fans a performance they would have liked but sadly injuries do happen in this sport. Hopefully next season I can keep myself healthy, go in there and redeem myself. "I want to go back and get those titles. I'm definitely looking at it as a chance for redemption." Hughes already has a glittering European CV to his name, with individual 100m and 4x100m relay golds from Berlin 2018. Four years later, in Munich, the sprinter lost his title as the fastest man in Europe, narrowly pipped to gold by Italy's Marcell Jacobs in the 100m. Hughes bounced back to take the 200m title and add a second 4x100m relay gold to his tally but he now wants to go one-step further and is targeting a golden hat-trick on home soil. "I'm looking forward to getting all three boxes ticked this time, that is my aim,' he said. "My mind is set on it and I'm looking forward to executing it. It would be an amazing accomplishment because I've won all the medals before - but I want to cement the hat-trick." ‌ The cherry on top of the cake for the sprinter would be lowering his own 100m and 200m British records in front of a packed Alexander Stadium. "If I can run super fast and break a British record in front of a home crowd, that would be amazing," he added. "I definitely want to lower the record, it's in my plans. In Birmingham 2026, I just want to do a sub-10 performance for the fans and get the win." ‌ A quarter of a million tickets for the event will go on sale in September, and prices starting from just £10 for adults. Organisers have ambitions to create one of the most talked about European athletics events in history and Hughes wants to put on a show for those who snap up tickets. "I love the fact that the ticket prices are so flexible because it increases the volume of people in the stadium," he said. "I feel like this is a whole new era to inspire upcoming athletes. The support has always been good in the past but its getting better every time we compete. "I'm looking forward to going out there and doing that again. They're looking up to us and I'm all about leaving that positive impact on the youth."
