Trend predictors are always on the lookout for the next It sneaker, and the Adidas Samba has had its reign for a few seasons now. The Badminton Plimsoll from Gola Classics offers similar nostalgia (the style is adapted from the Gola’s 1970s namesake original) with a low-profile silhouette and elevated canvas upper. A sleek sneaker with tennis credibility, the shoe made its box-office debut in this summer’s Challengers movie. Patrick Zweig himself sports a pair in his introductory scene.
Available for men and women, the classic plimsoll is available in 11 colorways with a canvas or mesh upper. New in 2024, the brand reintroduced a gum-sole option, as well.
