When it comes to projecting particular footwear styles into the zeitgeist, Emily Ratajkowski reigns supreme.
Taking a brief hiatus from wearing her beloved thigh-high Gimaguas leather boots on repeat, Emily swapped out her go-to autumn footwear for a set of the fashion world's most trending trainers.
Sharing a series of wholesome autumn snaps to her Instagram feed on Monday night, the model, mother and author showed fans exactly how to style the now-popular Puma Sparco Speedcat shoe silhouette.

Now, the likes of Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lawrence and every cool girl under the sun has invited them into shoe wardrobe, making them one of the hottest trainer options to date, trumping the Adidas Samba and Gazelle.
The style gained so much popularity throughout the year that it was even crowned second place in The Lyst Index’s recent quarterly report. The style, which was first introduced in 1999 in a fireproof version for Formula One drivers, also fuelled the demand for retro trainer silhouettes, with statistics spiking by 523% in August.
If you’re on the hunt for a comfortable chic style to give this Christmas, let the Puma Sparco Speedcat in any hue be your foolproof gift of choice.
