1. New Balance 550 sneakers
Taylor Swift wore them, so you have to buy them! The Grammy-winning star and her rumoured beau and NFL star Travis Kelce are grabbing all the paparazzi glare for their new romance! Taylor was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs, wearing the New Balance 550 sneakers in white and red colourway. This was one of the very rare times the singer opted for New Balance shoes, leaving all her fans and fashion aficionados pleasantly surprised.
The New Balance 550 is considered one of the brand’s most iconic releases to date, paying homage to basketball designs of the late ’80s. The perfect balance of style, comfort, and affordability, the court silhouette will be your perfect companion in everyday activities or athletic endeavours.
Apart from Swift’s white and red iteration, the New Balance 550s come in popular colourways like white and grey as well as white and tan. The pairs have been selling like hotcakes ever since Taylor sported them, so if you find your size running out of stock, don’t be surprised.

2. New Balance x GANNI 1906R sneakers
It’s safe to say that Taylor has become a New Balance girl, given her public outings in the brand’s coolest kicks. Days after sporting the 550s, she made another public appearance in the Ganni x New Balance 1906R, in the ‘Egret’ colourway. This colour variation is (almost) completely sold out on multiple retailers’ sites. So, now’s the time to grab it without much contemplation!
The New Balance and Ganni collaboration is very clean and functional, giving a sporty chic vibe many sneakerheads love. Crafted from breathable off-white mesh with tonal synthetic leather overlays, the shoe offers the perfect pop of colour with yellow accents. The lightweight cushioning ensures a comfortable ride.
