The prevalence of football boots as fashionable footwear has sparked confusion and debate, especially highlighted by Spanish singer Rosalía's recent appearance in New York wearing studded New Balance 442s. Despite the impracticality of wearing such sport-specific shoes on hard surfaces, this choice signifies a broader trend, seen recently on social media platforms like TikTok, where users are swapping traditional sneakers for football boots. Though intended for grass, the trend has gained minor virality, pushing the boundaries of practical fashion and prompting questions about its viability in everyday settings.
On May 4, Spanish singer Rosalía stepped out of a black SUV in the Upper East Side of New York wearing New Balance 442s. No, not the Samba-fied pair with lush suede uppers, but the actual studded football boot (or soccer cleat, as onlooking New Yorkers would call them).
