On January 11, 2022, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend were photographed during a casual outing in Beverly Hills.
Known for everything from red-carpet glamour to off-duty denim and boots, Teigen opted for a practical athleisure look centered on one of the era’s most wearable footwear trends: sleek knit slip-on sneakers.

She paired a black bandeau top with black leggings from Lululemon’s popular Align collection, creating a streamlined foundation for a layered casual outfit.
Instead of keeping the look purely athletic, Teigen added texture with an oversized denim jacket and a distressed plaid shirt tied around her waist, both from R13.
The layered styling balanced performance-inspired basics with the relaxed, lived-in aesthetic that has long been part of her off-duty wardrobe.

Her shredded-seam shirt features a check pattern in blue, gray, black, and red tones, finished with a bleached effect and frayed seams throughout. It complemented her heavily distressed denim jacket with elongated sleeves and D-ring tabs.
The television personality finished the look with a black Balmain baseball cap, adding another understated designer element to an otherwise casual ensemble.

On her feet were APL’s “TechLoom Bliss” sneakers, a slip-on style designed with a stretchy knit upper, wide elastic strap, and contrasting white sole.
The model has attracted a following among celebrities, with Lucy Hale also wearing the TechLoom Bliss, while stars such as Kourtney Kardashian and Ariel Winter have favored other sneakers from APL’s popular TechLoom line.
The minimalist silhouette fit naturally with Teigen’s athletic-inspired outfit while remaining versatile enough for everyday wear.

As of 2026, the APL TechLoom Bliss remains one of the brand’s signature everyday sneakers. The slip-on style is still part of Athletic Propulsion Labs’ core collection and continues to be stocked by major retailers, including Amazon and Farfetch.
While colors and seasonal releases change over time, the minimalist knit silhouette that made the shoe popular with celebrities such as Chrissy Teigen and Lucy Hale remains largely unchanged.

Meanwhile, the All of Me hitmaker kept things cozy in a black t-shirt, joggers, and a cardigan. He completed his casual outfit with Balmain B-Court sneakers, featuring a sleek silhouette and the label’s monogram pattern.

First introduced as part of the French house’s expanding footwear lineup, the B-Court has since become one of Balmain’s signature sneaker styles. Its clean tennis-inspired silhouette, substantial rubber sole, and distinctive Balmain branding have helped it endure while more trend-driven luxury sneakers have come and gone.
As of 2026, the B-Court remains a core part of Balmain’s collection, appearing in everything from classic leather versions to iterations featuring the brand’s recognizable PB monogram. Depending on the materials and finish, retail prices typically range from around $700 to $800, reinforcing its position as a luxury alternative to everyday athletic sneakers.
