Dua Lipa’s New Favourite Trainers Are Suprisingly Affordable (And Still In Stock)

Dua Lipa has been having an excellent summer. Between packed shows at Wembley and pub nights with Callum Turner, she's been serving an array of brilliant looks on stage and off it. And recently, she's lent her stamp of approval to one of the most divisive footwear trends of SS25: ballerina sneakers. Following in the steps of Bella Hadid, who's been spotted in VIVAIA’s Cristina Lace-Up Derby Flats on multiple occasions, Dua embraced the trend in multiple pairs of Puma's Speedcat Ballet shoes.

A masterclass in balance, the 'sneakerina' made its debut at Copenhagen Fashion Week, a hotbed for bold new designs and the perfect stage for what's quietly emerged as the season's most fashion-forward shoe. Leaning into the sleek sporty energy of the brand's iconic Speedcat, Dua Lipa's style of choice is also imbued with the subtle elegance of the ballerina flat. The result? A silhouette that feels both nostalgic and modern.

First spotted at the OpéraSPORT show earlier this year, this fresh take on the brand’s best-selling trainers swaps traditional laces for an elegant strap, marrying motorsport heritage with the ever-popular ballerina-core trend. The Speedcat has already cemented its place as a fashion favourite, ranking third on the Lyst Index’s 2024 hottest products for Q3 and earning the title of Puma’s most-sold sneaker ever. And now with Dua Lipa as well as Emily Ratajkowski favouring the latest iteration, it seems it's poised for just as much success.

Available in classic black, pink and red, the sneakerinas are also available in a sleek silver-and-white version that’s already selling out. These are the kind of shoes that slot seamlessly into any wardrobe, just as perfect with slouchy denim as they are with a tailored suit or a flirty mini dress. With many sizes selling quickly, we'd suggest you act fast and scroll to shop them now.
