Shakira's Best Shoes and Performance Style Through the Years, Photos
Shakira has always taken her fashions to the next level. A lover of all things looks, the Colombian singer has been bringing fashion to the world of Latin music since her start in 1990. The '90s icon has had a long and illustrious career, making waves with her music and often, her provocative wardrobe. The 'Hips Don't Lie' songstress tends to perform in anything she can move in — from bedazzled bodysuits and fringy dresses to knee-high boots and sneakers. Whatever silhouette she chooses, she can be counted on to showcase an eye-catching shoe. For example, the singer donned a sparkling silver pair of calf-height boots when she performed at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL during the Copa America final in July 2024. And in March 2024, she performed at Times Square wearing a pair of black and glittery silver Air Jordan Retro 13 sneakers. Not to mention, her footwear certainly caught attention when she headlined the Super Bowl LIV halftime show in 2020 alongside Jennifer Lopez; she wore $20,000 red crystal-adorned boots designed by Daniel Jacob, aka Dan Life, as well as gold Adidas sneakers with glittering accents.

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.

Stepping on toes: Steve Madden takes Adidas to court over stripe trademark
Footwear mogul Steve Madden has filed a lawsuit against Adidas, challenging the German sportswear giant's trademark on stripes. The legal battle comes after what Madden describes as years of Adidas preventing his company from selling sneakers with two bands on them. Filed in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, the lawsuit coincides with Madden's launch of two new sneakers, Viento, which has two stripes, and Janos, with two bands resembling the letter K. The 67-year-old founder and design chief of the multibillion-dollar Steve Madden Ltd (SHOO.O) brand claims Adidas' lawyers have demanded that Viento sales be stopped because the design is too similar to theirs and could confuse consumers. READ MORE | Motherhood after loss: grieving widow wins legal battle for late husband's sperm 'The use of band designs on footwear is ubiquitous in the fashion industry,' Madden said in court documents. 'Simply put, Adidas does not own all stripes and should not be allowed to claim that it has a monopoly on all footwear that includes stripes, bars, bands or any shape having four sides – parallel, straight or not.' This isn't the first clash between the two footwear companies. In 2002, Adidas sued the American shoe company twice for having shoes with two parallel stripes and four parallel stripes, resulting in a confidential settlement the following year. Now, 22 years later, Madden says he's 'tired' of Adidas' complaints. Adidas hasn't publicly addressed the lawsuit yet, but Madden is standing his ground. He recently gained new fans following a candid interview on The Cutting Room Floor podcast that went viral. During the interview, Madden reflected on his two-and-a-half-year prison sentence, served from 2002 to 2005, after being convicted of stock manipulation, money laundering and securities fraud. During this time, he also had to resign as CEO of Steve Madden Ltd (SHOO.O). 'It was as awful as you can imagine,' he said about prison. 'You're away from your loved ones, the food is awful and you sleep on cots with very little mattresses.'

However, he shared that it's very easy to fall into old habits when becoming a free man again. 'In your mind, your fantasy [is], 'I'm gonna get out, I'm gonna read 100 books, I'm really gonna appreciate what I have',' he said. 'Human beings, we have a thing where we take s**t for granted. It goes away when you go to prison and it lasts for about a week. Then you're like, 'Where's my f*****g car?' You're back on your bulls**t.' During the Covid pandemic, Madden published his memoir, The Cobbler: How I Disrupted an Industry, Fell From Grace & Came Back Stronger Than Ever, which detailed his experiences of building his company, going to prison and recovering from drug addiction. 'People think my life is interesting because of prison, because of my success. I started a company with one shoe and now it's a multibillion-dollar company,' he reflected. 'The ups and downs, the disappointments, people being left behind, not going along for the entrepreneurial ride. It was hard work. It wasn't romantic. It was showing up. All that corny s**t. Keep going. Do the next thing.'
