Even when Rihanna does casual, it’s always high-fashion casual. The superstar hit the streets in New York City and took a more dressed-down approach – but don’t go confusing that for unstylish. She wore a polished outfit consisting of a bright green silk top, a major colour trend of the moment, and classic light-wash jeans. Rihanna went for comfort in the shoe department, too, with some high-top sneakers. But her footwear choice weren’t your typical tennis shoes; they were a buzzy collaboration that only true sneakerheads will instantly recognise.
The kicks in question? A pair of Nike x Off-White’s Air Jordan 1s. Designer Virgil Abloh has an ongoing partnership with the athletic brand, and these appear to be the latest interpretation for spring. The exclusive – and often hard to find! – shoes feature an unmistakable orange zip tag on the front that has become something of a status symbol in the world of streetwear. Naturally, Rihanna wore them with equally cool accessories: round, ’90s-inspired shades and delicate necklaces.
