Kendall Jenners Chunky Trainers Are the Evolution of a Noughties Classic – Vogue

Calling all Kardashian-Jenner style watchers: something has shifted in Kendall Jenners workout wardrobe. The model has been wearing Adidass retro-tinged Samba trainers on and off all year, pairing them with maxi skirts and straight-leg jeans as well as her gym gear. But to join BFF Hailey Bieber for a Pilates class this week, Jenner chose another classic sneaker: the Nike Air VaporMax Plus.

Kendalls black trainers were first unveiled in 2017, at the time the latest iteration of the game-changing Air Max 1, which hit the market in 1987 and went on to rule the 90s and Noughties with every new release. Dropping 30 years after the birth of the Nike Air Max, the VaporMax was the first of the trainers to have an entirely air bubble sole. Jenners Nikes are nothing if not practical, but like her Sambas, theyre a sneakerhead-approved legacy shoea fact this style-conscious super will be only too aware of.

They werent the only retro touch to her post-workout look. That long-sleeved crop top pushed up to reveal a matching sports bra underneath is simultaneously evoking early Britney Spears, crop-top queen Jennifer Lopez in her On the 6 era, and Jessica Albas dance teacher wardrobe in the 2003 classic Honey.

The finishing touch that makes it quintessentially Kendall? The leather tote bag slung over her shoulder. When youre one of the most in-demand models on the circuitnot to mention a scion of the first family of reality televisionyou dont chuck your gym gear into any old polyester duffel bag. Kendall Jenner keeps her towel in the Park tote by The Rowyours for $1,790.
