The cute and comfy classic Adidas sneakers Taylor Swift was spotted in are 35% off today
Taylor Swift is back on stage for the international leg of her legendary Eras Tour. But while the show consists of 16 different outfits, each sparklier than the next, the singer recently dressed down for a date with her beau, the Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce. After wrapping up four sold-out shows in Sydney, Australia, the singer was spotted visiting the city's zoo with her Super Bowl-winning boyfriend in Adidas Superstar sneakers. Of course, they weren't just any Superstars — she wore the leopard print version. Want to copy the look? They're on sale at Zappos.
Why is this a good deal?
Anything Taylor Swift wears is bound to sell out, so the fact that these are still in stock is a little shocking. The fact that they're on sale? Even more shocking. At $72, they're the lowest price we've seen in the last 30 days. Save yourself the $38 to spend on other Swiftie merch (or maybe some beloved Adidas socks to wear with your new shoes).
Why do I need these?
While Swift wore these leopard print kicks to the zoo (which feels very appropriate for the occasion), they're absolute classics that you could wear anywhere around town. Pop them on with a pair of leggings, jeans or even a sweater dress in the early spring.
Of course, Swift isn't the first celebrity to wear these shoes. Everyone from Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham to Naomi Watts has been seen in some version of the Adidas Superstars. The shoe first launched in 1970 for basketball players, but skaters, hip-hop artists and now fashionistas have adopted them as their own. They come in a range of colors and styles, but the leopard print version only came out last July.
These popular shoes aren't just stylish — shoppers love how simple and comfortable they are. They have a lightly padded insole, tongue and collar. And in my own experience wearing Superstars over the years, they've never given me a blister or shin splints.
What reviewers say
There aren't many reviews yet for the leopard print Adidas Superstars, but thousands of shoppers give the originals a five-star rating.
"Love, love, love," wrote one shopper, specifically about Taylor's sneaks. "For me, these were true to size, a perfect fit. The pattern adds a little cuteness. Goes great with jeans and summer dresses."
"I was a big fan of the original Adidas Sambas when I was growing up in the '80s and '90s," said another fan. "Now, I've graduated to the Superstars, and they are just as comfortable as I remember my old Adidas shoes to be. However, the major difference is that they provide more support (what I was looking for), and as much as I try to get them to look more worn in and dirty, they continue to look brand new."
"These are my favorite shoes," said another Adidas loyalist. "I've bought them three times now and I just love 'em. I have wide feet and they fit comfortably."
Some reviewers say you may want to order a half-size down, as they run a little big. "These shoes are a little stiff at first, but wear in quite well," explained another shopper. "I use them for swing dancing and they have a good mix of grip and slide on the wooden floor (I don't lose my footing, nor am I stuck to the floor). I really like them (this is my second pair). I typically wear size 7 and got a 6.5."
Don't forget the socks. Amazon reviewers love these "cushy" options, also from Adidas.
