Solange Designed MORE Crazy Colorful Sneakers for PUMA

There’s only one thing that could pop up in Solange Knowles’ Instagram feed that would make us more excited than the behind-the-scenes snaps from her honeymoon (okay, okay, we mean besides a bump photo), and that’s a shot showing she’s back at it as a fashion collaborator. We got exactly that this week when pics of sneakers popped up in her profile to announce the singer’s return as creative director for PUMA on two brand-new footwear lines out this month.

With fashion girls constantly upping their athleisure game these days, the demand for a round two from Solange and her crew of New York designers — the same names from the original series — was higher than ever (a girl needs something to pair with her drawer full of joggers). And so far, with one release already in stores, the dream team has not disappointed. The already available trio of lace-ups called “Wild Wonder” showcases Solange’s flair for color mixing: her springy palette of bright sky blues and lime greens is as playful as ever, both on their own (as seen on Solange’s Suede Classic WNS, $120) and when set against graphics like the eye-popping black and white soles on the Trinomic XT2 Plus Swirls ($180) or reflective geometric cut outs on the Trinomic XT2 Plus Triangle ($180). But what’s most impressive (especially up close) are the textures she coaxes out of the layers of sporty fabrics — a Solange signature we’re hoping to see more of on the two additional styles called “Behind the Bazarr” that will be released December 13.

You can shop the Solange-approved sneakers online at madisonstyle.com. *We’ll* be saving them from the sleet and snow so that we can flaunt them all throughout 2015 — we’re gonna need them looking as out-of-the-box as possible when Beyoncé’s sporty TopShop line drops later next year. Obviously, the plan is to be dressed in Knowles from head to toe.

Nike isn't a leading name in the sneaker world – if not the leading name – for nothing. From basketball and track shoes to more fashion-forward styles, Nike sneakers are undeniably recognizable, no matter how you wear 'em. If you're searching for your next staple shoe, I've rounded up only the most iconic Nike sneakers for you here. You may recognize all-star silhouettes like the Air Force 1's and Cortezes, but I threw in a few lesser-known (yet still so cute) picks to inspire your next purchase. Scroll on for my favorites!

Nike

Nike Cortez Leather

These leather Nike sneakers have been in the game for decades – and for good reason. Though they're shoppable in a classic black + white colorway, I think this red + blue iteration has just enough color and flair without totally distracting your outfit. They're undeniably vintage-y, yet perfectly modern to match every ensemble you put together. What's more is these are as easy to wear as they are to style, thanks to the comfy foam midsole and thick wedge heel.

Nike

Nike Air Max SC

The mixed materials on these shoes are influenced by their practical track and field origins, but they've taken on more of a sporty streetwear vibe over the years, which I love. I've had friends throughout the years that won't go anywhere without these Nike sneakers. They're a great match with with jeans and sweatpants alike, and seamlessly go with any color palette you're working with, since they're just drenched in neutrals.

Nike

Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low Pro GT

Since low-profile sneakers are undoubtedly having a moment right now (everyone say "thank you" to the Adidas Sambas and Puma Easy Riders), these skater shoes are going to instantly make you look right on trend. If you want to make an even bigger "It" girl move wearing them, swap out the plain white laces for colorful ones, or even mix and match between the left and right shoes!

Nike

Nike Spark

These "thoughtfully crafted" sneaks are not quite for the streetwear fiends out there, but those who embrace being active every single day. Just by the structured look of them, you can see that they're geared specifically toward higher-impact movements, like walking long distances (and running even farther). Their feel on the feet is equal parts cushy and bouncy – literally putting some pep in your step.

Nike

Nike Air Force 1 '07 LX

These sneakers take the Air Force 1 – Nike's most classic basketball sneaker – and turn it on its head, while still retaining all the details that make the AF1's, well, the AF1's. You'll spot the timeless thick soles, signature side swoops, and breathable mesh paneling across the toe boxes, except this version is swarmed in chic, cream-colored suede and features a fun royal blue accent at the heels that definitely set them apart from the original (and at this point, tired) all-white colorway.

Nike

Nike Waffle Debut Vintage

Directly influenced by the shoe styles of the '70s, Nike slapped some soft suede on these sneakers along with a vibrant orange color that feels extremely indicative of the disco decade. Though they look like they're from another time period, they're a perfect fit for today's trends – pair 'em with a sleek matching set or baggy jeans for a sporty boost.

Nike

Nike Air Force 1 '07 Next Nature

These all-white shoes are uber-reliable for those moments you don't exactly know what shoes to reach for. Not only do they match with practically any 'fit, they feel super comfortable and virtually never wear out, as long as you take good care of them. You'll earn some serious street cred wearing them, too. They're that iconic.

Nike

Nike Tech Hera

The wavy design along the sides of these sneakers combined with the skinny laces up top makes for a playful visual effect that instantly amps up any get-up you've got goin' on, even if it's just jeans and a white tee. They almost have a Y2K feel to them, with an added height boost from the chunky soles. I need these on my feet ASAP.

Nike

Nike Blazer Mid '77

These high-rise sneaks have been hot since the '70s, beloved through the '80s and '90s, and perfectly revamped for the 2000's and beyond. They are still stamped with the vintage logo on the tongue, and massive swooshes on the sides for recognizable brand appeal.

It was the TV character arc heard round the world: after learning her boyfriend's dad didn't think she had what it takes to be a journalist, Rory Gilmore 1. Dropped out of Yale. 2. Stole a yacht and stopped talking to her mom. 3. Grew into the kind of journalist who didn't have pitches prepared and didn't ask good questions. But, according to one Reddit theory, Gilmore Girls actually hinted Rory wasn't cut out for the career at the very beginning of the series.

Warner Bros. TV

"Do you guys remember how in S1, at Chilton, Rory was given a very mundane journalistic task about the paving of the parking lot, and she wrote a piece on how everything and everyone becomes obsolete?" one Reddit user asks. "Even though the teacher was praising her, I thought it was the weirdest journalistic angle. It's so... literary and philosophical. Then it dawns on me - well, of course! She isn't a journalist. She is a writer."

As a writer myself, I totally relate, understand, and approve this theory. Journalism uses an objective, straightforward part of your brain, while creative writing requires so much creativity and imagination to breathe life into something other people would find obsolete (like that parking lot piece).

Neil Jacobs/Netflix

A Year in the Life shows us that Rory truly shines in the creative writing world because while her story on waiting in lines leaves something to be desired, she comes alive writing a novelized version of her and Lorelai's life. "She really does appear to have so much fun writing Gilmore Girls," the Reddit user continues.

Despite making many mistakes, leaning into her love of writing isn't actually one of them. She just needed to find the right kind of writing to really shine. Because let me tell you, when you do find that sweet spot, where your soul comes alive and your typing can barely keep up with your brain, you truly feel most like yourself.

Warner Bros. TV

TBH, this is just further confirmation that she deserves to be with Jess Mariano. Who pushed her to be the best version of herself? Who wrote a book and came back just to tell her? (That's right — Jess). It's all very Laurie and Little Women to me!!! And the fact that Rory immediately lets her guard down and spills her guts shows just how comfortable she is with him.

"It's the fact that Rory hasn't seen Jess in four years, but within ten seconds of him sitting down — without him even really ASKING her anything — she is sharing all her deepest fears," Facebook user Victoria TP says. "One conversation, and she's more vulnerable and honest with Jess than she is with any other person in her life."

Netflix

I mean, just look at that final yearning, longing stare!!! I can hear the wedding bells.

If we learned anything from the Great Ticketmaster Fiasco of 2022 (complete with Senators quoting lyrics to each other during the ticket platform's legal hearing?), is that it's way too hard to get concert tickets these days. For popular artists like Taylor Swift, ticket-selling platforms have so many hoops to jump through and qualifications to meet that it's easy to miss a concert, even if you're a mega-fan.

But thanks to these resell sites, Taylor Swift fans around the country (affectionally called "Swifties") are connecting with one another and making sure that tickets are sold for face value instead of an upcharge — even if it's the day of the show. While you brush up on the latest Taylor Swift theories, and read the Emily Henry book that matches the vibe of your favorite Taylor Swift album, check out these social media accounts that can help you score your own tickets to the Eras Tourin 2024.

How much are Eras Tour tickets normally?

While a variety of the resale tickets on larger platforms are in the thousands, there are plenty of fan-to-fan resales for under $1k! But the good news is Rolling Stone reports ticket prices have actually dropped in the last day and you can find some for under $700.

How many dates are left on the Eras tour?

Kate Green/Getty Images

There are 12 Eras Tour concerts left. She'll be at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium from October 18 until the 20, New Orleans' Caesars Superdome from October 25 until the 27, Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium from November 1 until the 3, and BC Place from December 6 until the 8.

How long is a Taylor Swift concert?

John Medina/Getty Images

Taylor Swift's portion of an Eras Tour concert is three hours long, but there are openers too! In total, you'll be in the venue for around five hours. For my concert day (the stadium is over an hour from my home), I started getting ready at 10am, and left around noon to accommodate public transportation, traffic, and lines. I was in my seat at exactly 6:30!

Is Taylor Swift having a concert in Miami?

Internet fans rejoice! The one date we've been waiting two years for has finally arrived: Andrew Garfield and Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date. The two stars first connected in 2022 on the GQ Men of the Year Awards red carpet, which Garfield attended and Dimoldenberg hosted. Fans honed into their chemistry immediately and, just like Dimoldenberg, started begging for the We Live in Time actor to make an appearance on her Chicken Shop Date web series.

And when they ran into each other again on the 2023 Golden Globes carpet? It was rom-com levels of adorable! "We must stop meeting like this," Andrew Garfield joked. And I think Amelia Dimoldenberg — who is the last word in confidence and boldness — clearly made him nervous because it didn't take long for him to start tripping over his words. "I only ever want to see you," he says, then grabs her hand and laughs as he clarifies he wants to see her "in these kinds of situations."

“'I only ever want to see you' would simply make me pass away, she’s so strong," one TikToker said in the comments, while another asks "why did this have ME blushing." Same y'all.

But the plot thickens because during the long-awaited Chicken Shop Date, Andrew Garfield actually tells Amelia Dimoldenberg they could have gone on a real date (you know, without all the lights, camera, action).

“Don't, like, bring out a ring or get down on one knee, I'm not in the mood today," Dimoldenberg jokes at the beginning of the video. "It's been vibey to the point where you've been avoiding me for two years because the vibes were too much for you to handle, so I'm actually surprised you're here."

After playing a game of "Snog, Marry, Avoid" with Tobey Maguire, Tom Holland, and herself (he picked her to avoid), Garfield says, "This is called flirting Amelia. This is actually a first date." Does this prove men never really stop teasing the girls they like?

"I actually believe, maybe, we could've [gone on a real date]," he adds, "without all of this." Um hello?! I need these two to go on a real date ASAP.

The Chicken Shop Date comes after Amelia Dimoldenberg told Drew Barrymore she'd recently kissed someone. "I'm feeling really good about being single at the moment, but that's because I kissed someone recently," she said. When Barrymore presses for more info ("With tongue?"), she adds, "Yeah, with tongue."

Get it girl!
