Yung Miami Opts for Sneakers at We The Best Foundation x Jordan Golf Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament
Yung Miami, aka Caresha Brownlee, chose a pair of sporty Chanel’s Calfskin CC Sneakers while attending the We The Best Foundation x Jordan Golf Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament at Miami Beach Golf Club on Thursday night in Miami.
The luxury shoes, which have become a staple amongst celebrities, are defined by their calfskin leather material and rubber outsole. And while many different iterations of Chanel shoes are available in terms of design and colorways, Yung Miami chose a burgundy, white and white pair that had bits of each color scattered amongst the silhouette and white laces. Continuing the themes of her sporty look, she wore a matching burgundy miniskirt and tank top, which itself was brought to life through her elaborated beaded necklace.
Once considered something of an anomaly, Luxury sneakers are now quite popular amongst celebrities and influencers. Last year in Los Angeles, Kim Kardashian was photographed heading to her daughter North West’s basketball game alongside NBA star Tristan Thompson in a pair of black athletic sneakers that featured a classic gum outsole, breathable mesh, and flexible arches with a chunky silhouette and an all-around monochromatic black finish.
And earlier this fall, Balenciaga, whom she is partnered with, released their Balenciaga Reptile Sneaker, which is characterized as having “exaggerated proportions and layering.” The Balenciaga Reptile Sneaker is made completely free of leather instead of using polyurethane, and the result is a mash-up effect in which each of the upper’s pieces look like they’ve been wrenched from different sneakers and cobbled back together.
Despite its unique design, the shoe is expected to be a defining style statement as we head into next year and has already managed to go viral following its March debut.
