The adidas Stan Smith Low Ballet Emerges With an Ultra Flat Sole
New photos have emerged showing a possible Ballet variant of theadidas Stan Smith Lowthat is allegedly landing this Summer. Evolving from the 'balletcore' and 'cocquette' trends that have infiltrated women's fashion in recent years, the adidas Stan Smith Low Ballet forgoes frilly trims and delicate details for a minimal and refined feel.
With an ultra-flat sole, a stripped-down upper, and an elegant seam bisecting the toebox, the model evokes luxury leather shoes likeMaison Margiela's Tabis,Lemaire's Piped Slippers, andThe Row's loafers. Closer to adidas' sphere, the reimagined model also evokesNike's polarizingAir Rift, which features a Japanese-inspired Tabi toe and a Mary Jane-like upper. Rather than leaning into performance sensibilities like it did in theTaqwa Bint Ali x adidas Megaride Mary-Jane, the Stan Smith Low Ballet appears to be more of a lifestyle model due to the absence of technical aesthetics.
The variant is shown in two colorways: a sleek all-black and a stark white with bold red trims. Like the original Stan Smith, the classic three stripe overlays are replaced with perforated stripes and the back collar showcases the recognizable trefoil logo. Finally, in place of a traditional lacing system, adidas opts for a truly Ballet-geared design with a singular leather strap.
As of the time of writing an official release date has not been announced for the rumored Stan Smith Low Ballet, but stay tuned to Hypebeast for further updates on the model's release.

TrusTrace's playbook aims to boost data, supply chain compliance
Titled "The Data Advantage – A Practical Guide to Building De-risked, Compliant and Future-Ready Supply Chains", the TrusTrace playbook launches at the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen. The playbook arrives at a time when the industry faces increased regulatory pressure, climate risks, and a demand for transparency that has led to a substantial reporting workload for suppliers. It introduces 'The TrusTrace Compliance Canvas', a framework aimed at aiding brands and manufacturers to better collaborate on a standardised set of supply chain data. This is backed by contributions from industry participants. Interviews with brands such as adidas, Hugo Boss, and Primark are featured within the playbook. These brands, along with suppliers like Epic Group, Karacasu Tekstil, and Impetus Group, discuss their strategies for data management and traceability in light of changing regulations and environmental objectives amidst policy uncertainty. Primark Product Traceability and Assurance head Cari Atkinson said: 'At Primark, we've focused on creating clarity for our suppliers by aligning on the data that matters most, and building the internal systems and skills to use it well. Working with TrusTrace has helped us turn complex data requirements into something more manageable for our teams and suppliers.' adidas Sustainability and ESG SVP Sigrid Buehrle said: 'My North Star is to get supply chain-related data to the same robustness as financial data. That's where we need to get to, with an effective data landscape and a standardised approach to data collection and evaluation.' The playbook also includes insights from Policy Hub on potential future policies, Textile ETP's views on global manufacturing preparedness, and an analysis of corporate climate litigation from The London School of Economics Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment. The playbook underscores the importance of pragmatic collaboration in supply chain data management. It suggests that this data should be more than a compliance tool; it can also be instrumental in informed sourcing decisions and risk management. 'A fascinating insight from these interviews is that despite the already huge data burden, with myriad tools and many platforms and certifications, what's collected is mostly documents, not meaningful data or numbers for calculating and addressing actual environmental impacts. It's mere foundational due diligence,' the book's author Brooke Roberts-Islam stated. Brands and suppliers have also highlighted that subjective interpretations of regulations and inconsistent methodologies hinder achieving tangible outcomes, notes TrusTrace. TrusTrace CEO and co-founder Shameek Ghosh added: 'As data becomes the new cornerstone of compliance and climate readiness, brands need more than intention—they need infrastructure. This playbook outlines what actionable, standardised data collaboration should look like.' Last month, TrusTrace introduced an AI-powered enhancement to help fashion brands and manufacturers gather, centralise, and scrutinise supply chain traceability information. "TrusTrace's playbook aims to boost data, supply chain compliance" was originally created and published by Just Style, a GlobalData owned brand.

FTSE 100 LIVE: Stocks mixed as traders weigh up Trump-Musk row and trade war developments
The FTSE 100 (^FTSE) and European stocks were mixed on Friday as traders weighed a public feud between Tesla (TSLA) boss Elon Musk and US president Donald Trump. Shares in the electric car company nosedived 14% on the back of the row, as Trump threatened to terminate Musk's governmental subsidies and contracts. He accused the billionaire of going 'CRAZY!' over the removal of electric car subsidies. The decline wiped out roughly $150bn (£110bn) in market value in one of the company's worst days in months. Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, said: "The selling in Tesla (TSLA) stock on the day has been wholly impressive with 285m shares traded on the day – the most since January 2023 – with a 'sell first, ask questions later' mentality sweeping through the shareholder base. "In the options space, over 4 million put options traded hands, 4x the 20-day average." Meanwhile, some trade war anxiety has eased, after Trump and and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping held a call on Thursday. The US president confirmed that he is now set to visit China. Thursday's call is the first time the two leaders have spoken since Trump launched a trade war with Beijing in February. Chinese state media reported that the call happened at the White House's request. "He invited me to China and I invited him here," Trump said of the call with Xi, while meeting German chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office. "We both accepted, so I will be going there with the first lady at a certain point and he will be coming here hopefully with the first lady of China." London's benchmark index (^FTSE) was 0.2% higher in early trade Germany's DAX (^GDAXI) dipped 0.3% and the CAC (^FCHI) in Paris headed 0.2% into the red The pan-European STOXX 600 (^STOXX) was trading near the flatline Wall Street is set for a positive start as S&P 500 futures (ES=F), Dow futures (YM=F) and Nasdaq futures (NQ=F) were all in the green. The pound was 0.2% down against the US dollar (GBPUSD=X) at 1.3546 Follow along for live updates throughout the day: Average UK house prices dipped 0.4% in May, representing a fall of nearly £1,150, after changes to stamp duty came into effect, according to the latest data from Halifax. The average UK property is now valued at £296,648, down from £297,781 in April, when house prices rose for the first time this year. Markets had a volatile session yesterday and overnight, as they grappled with a barrage of news that each pushed in different directions. Those included positive US-China headlines amid a call between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, a hawkish ECB decision and more weak data from the US. However, the most remarkable was an extraordinary war of words between Trump and Tesla (TSLA) boss Elon Musk. The Nikkei (^N225) rose 0.5% on the day in Japan as household spending in the country slipped 0.1% year-on-year in April, attributed to consumers curbing spending due to rising prices. This contrasted sharply with market expectations of a 1.5% gain following the previous month's 2.1% increase. The Hang Seng (^HSI) fell 0.4% in Hong Kong and the Shanghai Composite ( was hovering near the flatline by the end of the session. Across the pond on Wall Street, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell 0.5%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq (^IXIC) was 0.8% lower. The Dow Jones (^DJI) slipped 0.3%. It came as initial jobless claims moved up to 247,000 in the week ending 31 May, compared to the 235,000 expected, reaching their highest level since October. This followed a very soft ADP report the previous day, which had private payrolls up by just 37,000 in May. Good morning, and welcome back to our markets live blog. As usual we will be taking a deep dive into what's moving markets and happening across the global economy. For the day ahead the main highlight will be the US jobs report for May. Over in Europe, there's also Euro Area retail sales for April, and German and French industrial production for April. Otherwise, central bank speakers include ECB President Lagarde, and the ECB's Holzmann, Simkus and Centeno.
