In July 2020, Emily Ratajkowski was spotted in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood, debuting a streetwear look that leaned heavily into ’70s-inspired earth tones and oversized silhouettes.

While the model is often seen in pieces from her own Inamorata label, her choice of footwear for this outing highlighted one of the year’s most anticipated sneaker collaborations.
She paired a sheer, patterned orange button-down with low-waist, baggy green Dickies work pants, creating a utilitarian base for her high-profile Nike shoes.

The thriving entrepreneur rounded out her streetwear with a pair of sneakers from Travis Scott’s latest collaboration with Nike.
Released earlier that year, the Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 270 Cactus Trails sneakers feature a multicolored, geometric, paneled design inspired by the ’90s aesthetic.
