Ok, almost everyone is wearing Gazelle or Samba right now, the trendiest sneaker models of 2024. We could say that it all started with Alessandro Michele (recently appointed artistic director of Valentino) who wore the Gazelle while waiting for his Gucci autumn- winter 2022-2023 fashion show in February 2022. Then Bella Hadid confirmed the trend by wearing them several times in public.
And since then, flocks of gazelles can be found on the streets of large cities. But not only. More generally, these are all T-Toe style sneakers, i.e. with a T-shaped insert at the toe. In addition to the Samba and the Gazelle, there are also the Spezial and the SL 72, also from adidas. But in addition to the three-stripe branding, the Onitsuka Tiger by Asics and the Volley by VEJA also stand out.
Except that among all these sneakers that look the same, you might want to stand out by customizing your own pair of sneakers, T-Toe or not. And this easy-to-follow TikTok tutorial might inspire you.
How to customize your Adidas Samba trainers or other trainers easily and cheaply
This TikTok video tutorial allows you to customize your pair of lace-ups in a very simple, low budget and romantic way, right in line with the “flirty” aesthetic, which is also trendy at the moment.
Featuring lace bows and ruffles, the flirty aesthetic is gaining traction in fashion beyond TikTok. This is what this tutorial illustrates to customize your adidas Samba sneakers. But it could also work on any other pair of lace-ups.
As @paulinecharbit shows in her TikTok video, all you need to do is have a long lace ribbon to use to replace your pair of shoelaces. If the eyelets are close together, you can skip every other one for a more airy and romantic result. This also works with a long velvet ribbon, for example, and this will also be in the flirty aesthetic, but also balletcore !
