Jennifer Lawrence Doubles Down on the Sneakerina Shoe Trend
Jennifer Lawrence is usually an early adopter of footwear trends. As the long-held title holder of poster girl for quiet luxury (up there with Sofie Richie Grainge and the Olsens of course), she's ushered in the heatwave-friendly and now summer staple mesh ballet flat, pre-empted the jelly shoe revival, and incorporated some it-girl sneakers into her own J. Law style formula. While it took her a little while longer to experiment with the sneakerina trend, it looks like it's becoming a regular in her current summer shoe rotation—-and for good reason. Stepping out in Midtown in New York City, the Die, My Love actor made her second sartorial attempt at sneakerina styling, with a pair of black and cream-soled Wales Bonner velcro shoes. The Mary Jane style, with its thick embossed strap and Vibram sole, is also a perfect post partum shoe for Lawrence, who recently gave birth to her second child shared with partner Cooke Moroney. Photo: Backgrid It's a shoe hybrid that's proliferated on the runways and in drops from across the fashion spectrum: Simone Rocha, Cecilie Bahnsen, Louis Vuitton et al. The 'sneakerina'—a portmanteau of 'sneaker' and 'ballerina,' for the uninitiated—as a name, really, can be applied to any of the more feminine-shaped sneakers of late. Beloved by a more subversive and bold fashion set that includes Chloë Sevigny and Amelia Gray, it's a chaotic, polarizing footwear mash-up that Lawrence shows to be more versatile and relaxed than you'd first think. The rest of the outfit was textbook Jennifer Lawrence for summer. The actor wore an oversized white t-shirt with a Picasso print, a cobalt blue cardi tied around her shoulders (a beloved, transeasonal color), and loose primary red trousers. As for accessories, she forewent a deep dive into her enviable collection of vintage it-bags in favor of a cream knit tote bag, and added a black bucket hat when she'd usually don a novelty baseball cap. Has Oasis summer and the Britpop revival been an influence, perhaps? While Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner stick to the heeled sandal hybrid, Selena Gomez styles suits and thongs, and the Olsens outfit everyone in The Row's viral Dune flip-flops, the sneakerina brigade has a newfound member in Jennifer Lawrence. So if you haven't yet, now's your chance to step into the summer shoe trend seems confident is here to stay.

Analysts reboot Nike stock price targets ahead of earnings
Analysts reboot Nike stock price targets ahead of earnings originally appeared on TheStreet. If the shoe fits, Nike () wants you to wear it. The world's biggest shoe company is reportedly releasing a sneaker-loafer called the Nike Air Max Phenomena, which is brought to you by the company's in-house Serena Williams Design Crew. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰 Sneaker-loafers, or snoafers, are gaining popularity in response to a rising demand for versatile footwear that bridges the gap between casual and formal wear. Hoka, Mizuno and Converse are among the companies that have created their own version of the snoafer. "The loafer trend should continue as long as brands can stay creative with model and material variations,' Tarek Hassan, founder and chief executive of Concepts, told WWD in March. 'I think we are approaching its peak in trend and growth but will continue to live on as a unique offering for consumers.' Sneaker-loafers apparently come under the "love-it-or-hate-it" umbrella, with some consumers viewing them unconventional or even ugly. The Nike Air Max Phenomena does not have an official release date, but you can bet the Beaverton, Ore., company is looking for a whole lotta love for its new snoafer. Nike has been working on a turnaround dubbed "Win Now," CEO Elliott Hill's plan to revitalize the company's culture, brand and product portfolio. In March, the company beat Wall Street's fiscal-third-quarter earnings forecasts, but revenue was down 9%. More Retail Stocks: Halloween retailer sounds warning consumers need to hear Target expands same-day delivery to 100s of retailers Walmart makes surprise cuts as it looks at tariff price hikes 'The team is moving aggressively to reignite brand momentum through sport and stabilize our business,' Matthew Friend, executive vice president and chief financial officer, told analysts, adding that the results reflected headwinds from the 'Win Now' strategy. "We are also navigating through several external factors that create uncertainty in the current operating environment, including geopolitical dynamics, new tariffs, volatile foreign exchange rates, and tax regulations, as well as the impact of this uncertainty and other macro factors on consumer confidence," he said. Friend added that Nike expected fiscal-fourth-quarter revenue "to be down in the mid-teens [percent] range, albeit at the low end." Consultants McKinsey said last month that most consumers the firm surveyed had either already changed their spending habits or expected to change them soon in response to the Trump administration's tariff announcements. That holds even if the tariffs' effects have yet to hit store shelves, the firm said. Markets have been on a wild ride since President Donald Trump's April 2 reveal of reciprocal tariffs. "We are focused on what we can control," Friend said. "And for Nike at this moment, serving athletes with new-product innovation and reigniting brand momentum is what matters most." "Our collective experience as well as the early signals we are seeing with consumers gives us confidence in the path ahead," he added. The company's shares are down 17.3% in 2025 and are off 36% from a year ago. Nike is scheduled to report for its Q4 on June 26 and some investment firms have issued research reports ahead of the Stanley lowered its price target on Nike to $61 from $70 and affirmed an equal-weight rating on the shares, according to The Fly. The investment firm sees room for upside in Q4 earnings but cautions that Wall Street's fiscal 2026 earnings consensus for Nike is "too high." Those too-high estimates plus a lack of positive demand and innovation feedback from channel checks leaves Morgan Stanley "slightly more negative on our equal-weight rating," though "seemingly bearish sentiment may mean any bright spots are rewarded." Citi analyst Paul Lejuez reiterated a neutral rating and $57 price target on Nike, Street Insider reported. The analyst said he expected the company to beat earnings-per-share estimates for the fiscal Q4, driven by slightly stronger sales and lower selling, general and administrative expense. Given macroeconomic uncertainty and Nike's complex global brand turnaround, Lejuez said he did not anticipate management to issue guidance for fiscal 2026. For the fiscal 2026 first quarter the analyst expects the company to estimate sales down by high-single or low-double-digit percent and earnings of around 10 cents a share, compared with the consensus estimate of 39 cents. The results, he said, would be driven by weaker gross margin and higher SG&A vs the consensus. The analyst expects management to point to the fiscal 2026 second half for when it expects headwinds from the classic franchise to abate, with a target of clearing inventory across the global marketplace. But the timing of Nike achieving enough innovation at scale across performance and lifestyle to drive sustainable revenue growth is still uncertain and will be a focus of the call, Lejuez said. Any sign that Nike can return to revenue growth late in fiscal 2026 would be a positive for the shares given the current negative sentiment, said Lejuez, who sees a balanced risk-reward opportunity into the fiscal-Q4 reboot Nike stock price targets ahead of earnings first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

School's out, temperatures are rising, and airports are busier than ever. Summer has officially arrived. If you've been putting off a warm weather closet refresh, you've already fallen behind. Luckily, Amazon is a one-stop shop for any last-minute wardrobe swaps and upgrades you still need to quickly make—and as it turns out, the retailer just cut prices on this summer's trendiest, most comfortable sandals. Curious to know which styles caught our eyes? Ahead, we dive into six of the biggest, most exciting summer sandal trends we've spotted this season. From deceptively-comfortable orthopedic flip-flops to wear-everywhere fisherman sandals, these summer shoe trends have earned a spot in our suitcases. Our 59 picks come from Crocs, Coach, Reef, Vionic, and more up to 70 percent off at Amazon now. While there are plenty of stellar sandal discounts on this list, a select handful of deals really made our jaws drop. The below trending sandals have the best, most impressive discounts out—which means they likely won't be in stock much longer. Keep scrolling to see which deals were a step above the rest, including chunky Ugg Goldenstar Hi-Slide Sandals, now over $50 off, and these Sam Edelman Dawn Ankle Buckle Sandals are 70 percent off. Then, keep scrolling to explore 53 more of our favorite trending summer sandals on sale at Amazon, starting at $19. This first trend can take your footwear rotation to new heights—sans pain and the awkwardness of high heels. Flatform sandals—that is, platform sandals that have flat bottoms—are a bold, fun way to spice up a twirly sundress or your favorite denim cutoffs, and Amazon is flush with options for every preference. The retro-inspired crochet Hey Dude Delray Buckle Sandals, $44, would look gorgeous with a pair of flare jeans, and these chunky Rihero Buckle Flatform Sandal, $25 off, are a warm weather solution for those who dress on the edgier side. Ahoy! The next trending summer sandal style on our list is nautical by nature, but you don't have to own a boat to jump on this bandwagon. Fisherman sandals are making waves this season. The versatile silhouette suits any aesthetic and can easily be dressed up or down, making them a no-fuss travel sandal. Comfy versions from some of our favorite footwear brands—including Sorel, Dr. Scholl's, and Sam Edelman—are seriously discounted at Amazon this month. Check out some of our favorite finds below, from $29. Dr. Scholl's Women's Rate Up Day Fisherman Sandal, $44 (originally $100) Dr. Martens Women's Blaire Fisherman Platform Sandal, $65 (originally $110) Lucky Brand Women's Zilma Heeled Fisherman Sandal, $48 (originally $89) Rockport Men's Darwyn Fishermen Sandal, $55 (originally $95) Sorel Women's Ona Streetworks Fisherman Mid Sandal, $75 (originally $130) Blowfish Malibu Women's Madrid Fisherman Sandal, $29 (originally $60) Clarks Men's Walkford Fish Flat Sandal, $55 (originally $90) Easy Spirit Women's Gretty Faux Leather Fisherman Sandal, $50 (originally $89) Dr. Scholl's Women's Hello Seaside Fisherman Sandal, $40 (originally $80) Sam Edelman Women's Dawn Ankle Buckle Sandal, $42 (originally $140) Dockers Men's Searose Fisherman Sandal, $34 (originally $70) Step aside, flip-flops: Strappy sandals are our new beach go-tos. Surf and sand can make it easy to slip out of thong-style sandals, but strappy sandals do a better job at keeping your feet in place. You may have seen the Crocs Miami Toe Loop Strappy Sandals pop up on your social media feeds; while not on sale, these now-viral strappy sandals are comfy, simple, and go with just about everything. Amazon has hundreds of other budget-friendly options worth checking out, though, including Plaka Lagoon Strappy Rope Sandals, now $28, and Teva Olowahu Strappy Sandals, now $26. Wedge-style sandals are hardly a new summer shoe trend, but this year, we've been spotting more and more wedges of the espadrille-specific variety. Espadrille wedges, which typically have canvas uppers and thick midsoles covered with jute rope, add a beachy touch to travel dresses and matching sets, making them one of our favorite dressy sandal trends this summer. Score designer Coach Espadrille Wedge Platform Sandals while they're $70 off, or scoop up LifeStride Kimmie Wedge Espadrille Sandals while they're as low as $35—a generous 56 percent off the original price. Coach Women's Espadrille Wedge Platform Sandal, $105 (originally $175) Lifestride Women's Katrina 2 Espadrille Wedge, $50 (originally $80) Soda Topic Ankle-Strap Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $30 (originally $40) Naturalizer Women's Wren Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $70 (originally $90) White Mountain Women's Mamba Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $37 (originally $79) Lucky Brand Women's Mindra Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $63 (originally $79) Franco Sarto Women's Clemens Espadrille Wedge Sandal, $78 (originally $115) Dream Pairs Women's Ankle-Strap Espadrille Wedge, $23 (originally $40) LifeStride Women's Kimmie Wedge Espadrille Sandal, $35 (originally $80) The Drop Women's Zuki Wedge Espadrille Sandal, $45 (originally $65) Another sandal trend that's been gracing our social media feeds is the laser-cut leather flat sandal. Two of the most iconic iterations include the Hermès Oran sandal, $840, and the Tory Burch Miller sandal, $198—but Amazon has hundreds of designer-inspired styles for a fraction of the price. These Artrotter Beach Sandals, for example, capture the same simple elegance of the aforementioned Oran sandal, but are just $18. We think these Tommy Hilfiger Litzy Flat Sandals, 40 percent off, are just as chic as the Tory Burch version. Artrotter Women's Beach Sandal, $18 (originally $46) Steve Madden Women's Hadyn Sandal, $49 (originally $60) Athlefit Women's Flat Sandal, $24 (originally $40) Rockport Men's Darwyn Xband Slide Sandal, $40 (originally $80) Coutgo Women's Dressy Slide Sandal, $39 (originally $46) Tommy Hilfiger Women's Litzy Flat Sandal, $39 (originally $65) Putu Women's Flat Sandal, $20 (originally $30) Calvin Klein Men's Lusako Sandal, $43 (originally $65) The Drop Women's Monika Flat H-Band Slide Sandal, $20 (originally $40) Dream Pairs Women's Dressy Flat Slide, $21 (originally $30) Cole Haan Women's Flynn Logo Slide Sandal, $70 (originally $90) Who says comfortable sandals can't also be chic? Trends come and go, but supportive footwear never goes out of style; and this summer, we're spotting fashion-forward orthopedic sandals that look as good as they'll feel. The flexible, shock-absorbing Vionic Women's Mar Sandals, previously $135, are a steal at $68. And you'd never guess these handsome men's criss-cross slides from FitFlop, 34 percent off, are orthopedic shoes—but they've received the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. That's just the beginning, though. Keep scrolling for more stylish orthopedic sandals, starting at $26. Love a great deal?
