Missed out on Adidas's cow print sambas? This is when they'll be back in stock
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.
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 is being restocked imminently. Here's everything you need to know. Adidas Originals samba trainers in cow print: £90, Asos.com

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, but will be back in stock on 1 August 2025 – so, mark the date in your calendar. Adidas Originals SL 72 OG trainers in cow print: £90, Asos.com

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. The trainers are back in stock on 1 August 2025.

Love Island viewers are left shocked at the biggest divide in show's history as tensions reach breaking point just days before finale
Love Island viewers left shocked during Wednesday's episode as the girls proved the divide was still well and truly in place. Called the biggest divide in the show's history, the entire series has centred around the ongoing feud between the two groups of girls: Shakira, Toni and Yas versus Meg and Helena. The Islanders continued to take part in the tense Couple Goals challenge - but when the Islanders were asked 'Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?' shockwaves were sent through the Villa. Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon, which did not go down well. 'I think if people were honest in the first place and told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story,' Meg raged. Shakira responded: 'You throwing around the fake word is rich to be honest. I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. 'From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake,' Meg bit back, to which Shakira said: 'No, I will never pretend to be your mate.' Meg interrupted 'You won't be my friend on the outside' before Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.' But that wasn't all because when it comes to Meg and Dejon's turn to answer, both Meg and Blu become embroiled in a back and forth with Toni before Blu brands Toni a 'pick-me girl'. The chaos came just two episodes after Toni brought the girls around the firepit to try and bridge the divide and call a truce. But recent scenes have shown the divide is as strong as ever. Viewers said: 'The divide is actually insane… i'm sat here raging at my TV screen,'; 'I've watched love island since Series 1 and this series is hands down the most uncomfortable to watch. This girl divide is f****n awful. The smart ass comments thrown about, the sly digs, the ganging up on 1 girl…it's actually draining,'; 'The Great Villa Divide of 2025 is alive and well,'; 'I've never seen THIS strong of a divide in the villa before,'; 'so funny they had a whole convo about no more divide and now it's like even worse AHAHAHAH,'; 'So much for Tonie and Meg wanting to squash the divide between the girls .. It's gone further apart since their girls intervention the other night'. While others noted that they had never seen such a 'toxic' series, especially with the finale just days away. They wrote: 'I've never seen such a hostile final week omg these lot are about to start a world war… 'It's the final week and there's STILL drama??? this literally never happens,' 'The most toxic love island season ever,'; 'The most toxic love island season ever - they really hate each other and it will be awkward for them on the outside,'; Viewers said: 'The divide is actually insane… i'm sat here raging at my TV screen' 'This season is so toxic. The producers seem to be pushing harmful narratives but we will have confirmation when the winners are announced. That was an uncomfortable watch. Disgusting,'; 'Why are the cast so toxic with each other wtf never seen anything like this imagine the reunion,'; 'THIS IS THE MOST TOXIC SEASON OF LOVE ISLAND EVER.' The chaos of Wednesday's episode came just days after Toni pulled Meg to clear the air as she blamed the boys in the villa for the apparent divide between the girls. The US-native, 24, pulled her fellow islander, 25, to the fire as she confess that the believed the root of all their problems were the boys. As they sit down in the iconic villa, Toni tells her: 'What I think is the root of the divide, is really the boys.' To which Meg says: 'It's so stupid for us to argue over these little things.' While others noted that they had never seen such a 'toxic' series, especially with the finale just days away Toni adds: 'I know that we're all friends at the end of the day', that prompts Meg to say: 'I'm not going to hold any grudges against what you guys said. You know I love you.' The pair then decided to gather all of the girls over, too. Toni said: 'At the end of the day, we know we're all friends here. They're [the boys] the problem!' The girls all enjoy a group hug as they attempt to put all their previous issues a side.

The most exciting moment of Destination X is when someone breaks a fingernail
Destination X, BBC One's big new reality game show, is insane. I don't mean the content – it's actually quite dull. A bunch of contestants are driven around Europe on a coach with blacked-out windows, and must work out where they are with the help of some obscure clues. Advance notices bill it as a blend of Race Across the World and The Traitors, but both of those are great and this isn't. No, I mean the facts and figures behind the show, which is based on a Belgian format. A crew of 190 people were sent on an 11,000km road trip around Europe for 32 days. According to the producers, this required the booking of nearly 7,000 hotel rooms. You read that right. The budget must be eye-watering. How much did it cost, and how much of that did the BBC put up (it is a co-production with US broadcaster NBC)? Of course, they won't tell you. Anyway, all that money is being spent off-screen, not on it, despite what the trailer suggests. One of the main selling points of Race Across the World is seeing the wonderful locations. In Destination X, the viewer gets the occasional drone shot of the coach driving past a mountain. The contestants see almost nothing but the inside of the vehicle. Visually, it's not a patch on Treasure Hunt. And that had the added bonus of Anneka Rice in a jumpsuit. The contestants meet at Baden-Baden airport, in a departure lounge populated by hammy actors, and are whisked off in helicopters. They are given headsets which act as blindfolds, flown around for an hour to disorientate them, then it's off on the coach – the branding unavoidably reminiscent of The X Factor – for the start of their adventure. The tone is cheerful and cheesy. The hardest-working person involved in the production is Rob Brydon 's stylist. Brydon is the chuckling host, camping it up in a selection of blazers and cravats. He gently encourages the contestants to be a bit more Machiavellian, because that worked in The Traitors. You could have guessed their personality types and occupations before the show began: a salt-of-the-earth cab driver, a retired female detective, an uber competitive man, a Gen Z content creator. Some of them are clever, some think they're clever, and some revel in having no general knowledge. At the end of each episode, they each go alone into a room and place an 'X' on a virtual map, their best guess at where they are. Whoever chooses the destination furthest from the actual location gets eliminated. But a major flaw is that the contestants work as a group up to this point, which means not having a clue about geography isn't a hindrance to winning the £100,000 prize because you can just tag along with the others. They stop off every now and again to be shown some 3-2-1-style clues. We are encouraged to play along at home, with a QR code provided. But it's unnecessarily convoluted. At one point they are made to stand in a box erected in a town square, while Brydon asks them questions about the country they're in, but they don't know the country they're in and aren't told whether their answers are right. Half of the clues they see are red herrings. Playing along at home should get easier once we're an episode in and understand the way it works. It doesn't get more thrilling though. I jumped ahead to the opening of episode three, to find one contestant telling another that she broke a nail yesterday. There is plenty of chat about the onboard loo facilities. I find myself wondering how much Rob Brydon was paid for this.

Destination X review – the BBC's big new reality competition will make you feel like you're hallucinating
It's The Traitors on a bus! It's Race Across the World in blindfolds! It's the BBC's new reality competition series, Destination X! The premise is simple. A baker's dozen of contestants assemble at Baden-Baden airport in Germany, from where they are transported via helicopter and a luxuriously appointed coach with blacked-out windows to various mysterious locations in Europe – one an episode – taking part in challenges en route to earn clues to help them work out where they are. At the end of each episode, the contestants enter the 'map room' and indicate where they think they are by placing an X. The person who is least accurate is thrown under the bus. The overall winner will net £100,000. The US version is presented by Jeffrey Dean Morgan – an unsettling choice for those of us who associate him inextricably with his grotesquely violent character in The Walking Dead, but perhaps Americans feel the need to be protected as they venture into the wilds of Europe in a way that, even post-Brexit, Britons do not. Whatever the reason, we have gone for a warmer, less armed-with-a-barbed-wire-wrapped-baseball-bat approach and given the gig to Rob Brydon, in an array of natty suits. 'I'm actually Anton Du Beke,' he jokes. The contestants are as carefully cast as ever. We have the sweet, hapless contingent – foremost among them 23-year-old James, who has been on holiday only once without his mum and dad and who describes himself, on this voyage predicated on deep geographical knowledge and cultural inference, as 'not the best traveller'. We have the feelings-first brigade, led by poor Deborah, a crime author who is consumed by guilt and self-loathing when she is required to tell a white lie in pursuit of a competitive advantage. Then there are the terrifyingly competitive types, such as the endurance athlete Nick, who was the first person to run a marathon in every country in the world and fibrillates with energy and ambition ('I wouldn't let a child win something, no'), and the surf school director Ben, hiding his tendencies a bit better under a bonhomous mien and a shock of blond hair. But we see you, Ben. This isn't our first rodeo. Credit where it's due, though – it's Ben who takes one look at the tiny toilet on their coach and suggests they make it a rule that everyone has to sit down 'for everything'. Ben has four children. As is now de rigueur in reality competition series, a good chunk of the cohort do not make it past the preliminary stage. Three of the 13 fail the first challenge and don't even make it out of the departure lounge. The remaining 10 go on a disorienting 125-mile helicopter ride, during which Judith, a 28-year-old nuclear engineer, notes that they are flying backwards with the sun to their right and therefore probably southwards. Dawn reckons that flicking through her toddler's atlas before she set out is likely to have given her the edge. The challenges and rewards are, of course, set up to sow division, requiring alliances and betrayals as the journey unfolds ('I think my competitiveness will alienate me,' says Nick). This will have to be enough to keep viewers watching, because the challenges are baffling. At one point, the contestants find themselves in a picture-lined cubicle in the middle of an unknown market square 'bordered by two countries and influenced by all three' and must answer multipart questions to earn the right to peek out of one of two windows; one gives a clue to their location and the other is a red herring, with no way of discerning which is which. A further clue will be presented to the participant who has given the most right answers – although we don't know what they are – who is then allowed to tell one other person what it is. Are we in Vienna? Or Amsterdam? It becomes slightly hallucinatory and I truly do not know what is going on. Viewers are invited to play along via QR codes and place their own Xs in a virtual map room. This is more involvement in my small-screen entertainment than I like to undertake. But have at it if that's what floats your boat – possibly down a Dutch canal. Also, where do they speak Flemish, because the local people sound very unusual here, but the street signs are in French, despite there being a Café Mozart – what gives? Destination X does not close like a vice around you in the manner of The Traitors, nor does it have the cockle-warming aspect of Race Across the World. But it's fun to go along for the ride. Destination X aired on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer
