From Gym to Street Style: Kendall Jenner Rocks Leggings With Nike Running Shoes

Back in 2016, athleisure was still solidifying its place in mainstream fashion — and Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid were at the forefront of the trend.

Known for their effortless ability to mix sneakers with high‑fashion pieces, the two models often turned casual coffee runs and shopping trips into street‑style moments. During one such week, Kendall was photographed on two separate occasions layering sportswear under chic outerwear, perfectly capturing the blend of comfort and luxury that defined mid‑2010s off‑duty style.

Kendall was first spotted out for coffee in Weho wearing a top from American fashion retailer Express and Nike leggings, paired with a coat by Sass & Bide.

The model accessorized her casual look with a tiny Givenchy “Lucrezia” micro bag, Garret Leight “Wilson M” sunglasses, and a pair of Nike “Free 4.0 Flyknit” sneakers in black and gray — a popular running shoe first released in 2014 as part of Nike’s groundbreaking Free line.

Known for its Flyknit upper that delivered a lightweight, sock‑like fit, a flexible Phylite midsole with hexagonal flex grooves, and a low 6 mm drop, the 4.0 balanced cushioning and natural foot movement, making it a go‑to for both casual wear and short‑distance training.

Just two days later, Kendall proved her athleisure game was no one‑off, stepping out in another look that blended high‑end pieces with sporty essentials.

Don’t forget to browse for updated colorways and newer models in the Free and Flyknit lines.
