Adidas launch divisive Mary Jane version of its iconic Sambas
2025 has been the rise of the 'ugly' shoe trends, and Adidas' latest launch that combines the classic Mary Jane with its bestselling Samba has fans divided It feels like 2025 has been the year of the divisive shoe. We has UGG's platform Mary Jane Boots, the UGG AMBUSH sheepskin ballet flat and of course, the rise of the 'Sneakerina', loved by Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa. And Adidas' latest release has sparked some debate among fashion fans. The release in question is the adidas Originals Samba Mary Jane. Yep, you heard that right. A combination of one of Adidas' most iconic and trending styles, the Samba, mixed with popular 2025 shoe trend, the Mary Jane. The result? A sporty hybrid shoe that's not quite a trainer and not quite a Mary Jane. Priced at £80, this new shoe style is available to shop in classic white with black stripes, on-trend red, and black with white stripes. Fashion lovers and Samba fans on social media have been quick to leave their opinions on these conterversial shoes, with some calling it that they'll be the 'shoe of the summer ' and others comparing them to children's school shoes. I'm an Adidas samba wearer and lover myself, so I'm actually a fan of this pair myself. I love that feel silghtly girlier and feminine than sambas, but definitely look comfier than a traditional pair of Mary Janes thanks to the gum sole. If this style is up your street, you'll be pleased to know that tonnes of other brands have similar styles that toe the line between sporty and girly, and we've rounded up a few of our favourites. Charles & Keith Available for £75 here Not only are the sneakerinas a huge trend, but so are metallic shoes, so these silver satin sneakers from Charles & Keith combine both trends in one. If the silver isn't really your style, they are also available in a classic black colourway. Puma Dua Lipa posted an Instagram carousel sporting the Puma Speedcat Ballet Shoes, showing that she's given this controversial trend her seal of approval. Dua's exact metallic silver ones are currently out of stock, but we've found some suede pink ones from Puma that still perfectly fit into the trend. Vivaia Cristina Satin Sneakerinas Bella Hadid was spotted wearing this reasonably affordable £119 pair from Vivaia. And not only is Bella a huge fan of Vivaia's pair, but so is Charli XCX, who was seen sporting two different pairs in the Coachella desert. The Vivaia shoes have been crafted a smooth satin fabric like classic ballet shoes, but sit upon on a rubber sole like a trainer. The result? A sporty-looking ballet flat that perfectly combines feminine and athletic fashion.

Adidas data breach reveals customer info in vendor attack
Hackers are no longer targeting only tech giants or hospitals. Any business that collects valuable personal information, such as names, phone numbers, email addresses or even basic financial details, is now a target. Companies that rely heavily on third-party vendors or outsourced customer support are even more at risk, especially if they are not particularly strong in the technology sector. German retailer Adidas learned this the hard way. The company recently confirmed a data breach involving one of its external partners, and although it has acknowledged the issue, many important details are still missing. Adidas has officially acknowledged that a third-party vendor suffered a breach, resulting in unauthorized access to consumer data. In a public notice titled "Data Security Information," the company revealed that a "third-party customer service provider" had been compromised. While the brand was initially silent on the scope, it had already been reported earlier this month that customers in Turkey and Korea had received breach notifications. Adidas posted this information on both its German and English websites. However, no specific region or number of affected individuals has been confirmed. The company's statement did clarify that no payment information, such as credit card details, nor passwords were included in the breach. Instead, it involved contact details submitted by users to Adidas' help desk in the past. Data obtained reportedly includes names, phone numbers, email addresses and dates of birth. While this might seem limited compared to financial data, this type of information can be exploited for phishing scams and identity theft. In the wake of the breach, Adidas began notifying potentially affected customers directly. The company's email to customers below aimed to reassure recipients and clarify what information was involved. Here is the full text of the notification sent to affected individuals. Dear customer, We are writing to inform you of an issue that we recently became aware of which may have impacted some of your data. What happened adidas recently learned that an unauthorized external party gained access to certain customer data through a third-party customer service provider. What information was involved The affected data does not contain passwords, credit card or any other payment-related information. Nor have any Social Security numbers been impacted. It mainly consists of contact information relating to customers who had contacted our customer service help desk in the past. This may have included one or more of the following: name, email address, telephone number, gender and/or birth date. What we are doing Privacy and the security of your data is our priority. Upon becoming aware of this incident, adidas took proactive and immediate steps to investigate and contain the incident. This includes further enhancing security measures and resetting passwords for customer service accounts. What you can do We are currently unaware of any harm (such as identity theft or fraud) being caused to our customers as a result of this incident. There are no immediate steps that you need to take. Although, as always, please remain vigilant and look out for any suspicious messages. As a reminder, adidas will never directly contact you to ask that you provide us with financial information, such as your credit card details, bank account information or passwords. Who you can contact If you have any questions, then please contact our Customer Service team at We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this incident. adidas Team Despite the official acknowledgment, several questions remain unanswered. Adidas has yet to clarify whether this is a single breach affecting multiple regions or several separate incidents. The lack of transparency around the name of the third-party vendor and the absence of concrete numbers or locations for affected users has created frustration among observers and possibly among customers themselves. The earlier regional reports from Turkey and Korea might suggest that this incident was either global in scale or that similar third-party vendors were independently targeted. In either case, the company's current handling of the situation has left room for speculation. Adidas claims it is in the process of informing potentially affected customers, but it has not detailed the method or timeline for this outreach. We reached out to adidas for a comment, and a representative referred us to this statement on their website. In part, the company said, "We remain fully committed to protecting the privacy and security of our consumers, and sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern caused by this incident." If you think you were affected or just want to be cautious, here are some steps you can take right now to stay safe from the Adidas data breach: 1. Scrub your data from the internet using a personal data removal service: The more exposed your personal information is online, the easier it is for scammers to use it against you. Following the Adidas breach, consider removing your information from public databases and people-search sites. Check out my top picks for data removal services here. Get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web. 2. Watch out for phishing scams and use strong antivirus software: With access to your email and phone number, Adidas attackers can craft convincing phishing emails pretending to be from healthcare providers or banks. These emails might include malicious links designed to install malware or steal login information. To defend yourself, use a strong antivirus program. Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices. 3. Safeguard against identity theft and use identity theft protection: Hackers now have access to high-value information from the Adidas breach. This makes you a prime target for identity theft. You might want to consider investing in identity theft protection, which can also assist you in freezing your bank and credit card accounts to prevent further unauthorized use by criminals. Signing up for identity theft protection gives you 24/7 monitoring, alerts for unusual activity and support if your identity is stolen. See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft. 4. Set up fraud alerts: Requesting fraud alerts notifies creditors that they need extra verification before issuing credit in your name. You can request fraud alerts through any one of the three major credit bureaus; they'll notify the others. This adds another layer of protection without completely freezing access to credit. 5. Change passwords and use a password manager: Update passwords on any accounts tied to compromised data. Use unique passwords that are hard to guess and let a password manager do the heavy lifting by generating secure ones for you. Reused passwords are an easy target after breaches. Consider password managers for convenience and security. Get more details about my best expert-reviewed password managers of 2025 here. 6. Be wary of social engineering attacks: Hackers may use stolen details like names or birthdates from breaches in phone scams or fake customer service calls designed to trick you into revealing more sensitive info. Never share personal details over unsolicited calls or emails. Social engineering attacks rely on trust, and vigilance is key. The Adidas breach shows that even companies with decades of brand equity and a massive global footprint are not immune to lapses in data security. It underscores the need for companies to go beyond basic compliance and actively evaluate the cybersecurity standards of every partner in their ecosystem. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the trade-offs they make when sharing their personal information, and brands that fail to meet this moment may find their reputations eroding faster than they expect. Should retailers be penalized for neglecting basic cybersecurity practices?

Man Utd's new third kit leaked as fans blast: 'You couldn't pay me to wear it'
Adidas' attempt to recreate a classic Manchester United strip for the 2025/26 season has not gone down well with supporters, who have slammed the black and yellow kit Manchester United have hit rock bottom after ending a miserable season – and now their leaked new kit is being slammed by fans. United ended their 2024/25 campaign 15th in the Premier League and without any European football to look forward to after tasting defeat in the Europa League final. Ruben Amorim's side then added some more embarrassment by losing to an ASEAN All-Stars side in Kuala Lumpur during an all-advised post-season tour. The atmosphere around the club hasn't been helped by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's job-cutting crusade ahead of a summer transfer window which could see a huge number of players leave. To make matters worse, United's kits for the upcoming 2025/26 campaign have been leaked on social media. Kit manufacturer Adidas have created a third kit comprised of black, yellow and blue, which – as is the way these days – harks back to happier times. The apparent third strip that Amorim's players will be wearing next season is an attempt to recall the era of Eric Cantona and co from 1993 to 1995. The new version doesn't have a collar and has Snapdragon as the front-of-shirt sponsor, but it is a close copy of the original Umbro version. Needless to say, it hasn't gone down well with all United fans. 'The worst shirt I've ever seen, couldn't pay me to wear it,' one furious supporter wrote on social media. 'Third shirt for what? We ain't in Europe,' another pointed out. 'United slowly losing its identity,' a third wrote, while another simply concluded: 'F****** ugly.' HAVE YOUR SAY! What do you make of the leaked kit? Comment below. However, it wasn't all bad, with some fans liking the retro throwback. 'This is so so good,' one wrote. 'Is this legit!? Looks class,' another added. Another wrote: 'Monochrome badge brings it down to a 9/10 rather than a 10/10.' The leaked home shirt looks pretty straightforward: a red number with black and white touches, while the away shirt is a bold all-white effort. It will be some time until fans see players wearing them, with United taking a not-so well-earned break after the tour of Malaysia and Hong Kong. The club are not involved in this summer's Club World Cup, so will take some time off before reconvening for pre-season. United begin their pre-season against Leeds in Stockholm on July 19 before flying over to the Untied States for games against West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton. They then return to Old Trafford to play Fiorentina on August 9 before the Premier League begins again on August 16. What's for certain is that it will be a dramatically different United squad next season, with the club overhauling things in the transfer window. Matheus Cunha is set to be the first arrival of the summer window after United agreed to pay Wolves his £62.5million release clause, while Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo is another target.

Golfweek's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide
Golfweek's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide From stylish footwear to electronics, sweet-sippin' bourbon to cashmere sweaters and fitness trackers ... we know what Dads want. A few years ago, as my wife was trying to figure out what to get me for Father's Day, it occurred to her that I have been creating Father's Day and holiday gift guides for Golfweek for well over a decade, so if she needed an idea or two, those lists would probably be a good place look. As someone who writes about golf equipment and technology, I'm not against buying someone a golf club. However, I advocate custom fitting, and knowing exactly what a golfer needs can be tricky, which is why gift certificates to local golf specialty stores and pro shops are always a smart choice. In the list below, you will find plenty of things that golf-loving dads will enjoy, along with other products that most men would love to receive on the morning of June 15 before they settle in to watch the final round of the U.S. Open. Adidas Gazelle Spikeless golf shoes, $120 Combining the classic look of some of Adidas' most popular casual sneakers with a lugged outsole designed for golf, the Gazelle is perfect for relaxed days on the course that transition to extended hours at the 19th hole. Shop Adidas Gazelle spikeless golf shoes Blade and Bow Bourbon Whiskey, $50 A favorite of 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, this bourbon smells fruity and starts with tastes of dried apricots and pears, then has a lingering finish of charred oak and spices. If Dad is looking for something refreshing after a hot 18 holes, try a Kentucky Caddie – Blade and Bow, peach iced tea, lemonade, and a sprig of mint. Shop Blade and Bow bourbon Bushnell A1-Slope laser rangefinger, $299.99 Bushnell makes the most-used laser rangefinders on just about every professional tour, and while the company makes more sophisticated models, you'd be hard pressed to find a smaller unit packed with all the features a golfer needs.

Shop FJ HyperFlex golf shoes HyperIce HyperBoot, $899 The collaboration between Nike and HyperIce was one of the stars of the 2025 PGA Merchandise Show because after you put the boots on, they provide a warming massage, promote circulation and enhance both your warm-up routine and cool down after exercise. And yes, you can walk around in the HyperBoot while it does all that. Shop Hyperice x Nike HyperBoot Johnnie-O 20th Anniversary Original 4-Button polo, $89 This is the shirt that John O'Donnell started the company with, a classic, 100% cotton polo with four buttons, a relaxed fit, vibrant colors, and the perfect blend of West Coast cool mixed with East Coast Prep. Shop Johnnie-O original four-button golf polo Lululemon ABC Slim-Fit Golf Trouser, $109 Signing Min Woo Lee and Max Homa during the off-season proved that Lululemon is serious about making functional, smart-looking golf apparel for men.

Shop Lululemon ABC Slim-Fit golf pants Momentous Fuel Drink Mix, $29.95 Golfweek tried this energy drink mix at the PGA Merchandise Show and loved it. Sold in 15-serving jars, but we like the 10-package travel packs, which come in mango, strawberry lime and cherry berry flavors, because you can drop a few in your golf bag and then add the mixture to your water bottle on the course for a boost that isn't loaded with sugar. Shop Momentous Fuel drink mix Ping Hoofer Lite golf bag, $245 Year after year, Ping's Hoofer remains one of the best-made golf bags in the business. This model boasts a four-way top, nine pockets, and comes in loads of different colors and patterns.
