Women's Sneakerina Edit

Balletcore has found its next act: the sneaker ballet flat. Call it the "sneakerina" effect — pointed toes and slipper-soft silhouettes borrowed from the barre, built onto soles made for actual day-to-day wear. It's the rare hybrid that makes sense the moment you see it.

adidas and PUMA are two of the names driving it. The adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet takes its cues from martial arts, a low, sleek shoe with more edge than its ballet-flat silhouette lets on. The PUMA Speedcat Ballet Sneaker goes the other way, pulling racing heritage into a slip-on shape softened right down to a ballerina's shoe.

The details give it away every time: laced-up fronts, pointed toes, a slimline profile. New colourways and fabrics are constantly landing from your favourite sneaker brands, so the edit keeps moving.
