In late July 2021, Gigi Hadid stepped out with her daughter, Khai, in New York City, wearing two relaxed outfits that showcased a different side of her footwear style.
While the supermodel is often associated with runway looks and designer heels, these outings highlighted her preference for practical, comfort-focused shoes during off-duty moments.

Elsewhere in the look, Hadid balanced accessible athleisure staples with luxury accessories, including an Etro crochet bucket hat from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2021 collection, oval sunglasses, and layered Martha Calvo necklaces.
The mix of premium designer pieces and casual basics made the fuzzy Joshua Sanders mules feel like a natural extension of the outfit’s relaxed, fashion-conscious attitude.

More than a novelty slipper, the Joshua Sanders mule reflected a growing appetite for indoor-outdoor footwear during the early 2020s.

The plush teddy-textured upper delivered the comfort of a house shoe, while the chunky rubber sole made it practical for city errands and long walks. Paired with biker shorts and a simple T-shirt, the oversized silhouette introduced texture and personality without overwhelming the rest of the look.

Why Gigi Hadid’s Reebok x Victoria Beckham Sneakers Were the Smartest Part of the Outfit
A day earlier, Hadid took a different approach to casual dressing, pairing a cream T-shirt and embellished white jeans with white Reebok x Victoria Beckham Dual Court II sneakers.

Introduced as part of Victoria Beckham’s collaboration with Reebok, the premium trainer reinterpreted classic basketball and tennis footwear through a luxury-fashion lens, combining supple tumbled leather overlays with a breathable mesh base and a clean, logo-minimal aesthetic.
The sneakers also benefited from their styling context. Hadid paired them with loose-fitting Eytys “Benz” jeans featuring subtle crystal embellishments running down the side seams, creating a contrast between decorative detailing and sporty functionality.
The understated Dual Court II served as an anchor for the embellished denim, preventing the outfit from feeling overly precious while reinforcing its relaxed, everyday appeal.

The slightly exaggerated EVA sole and grooved herringbone outsole added subtle height and structure, making the sneakers a practical choice for a day with Khai while still complementing the decorative detailing of her jeans.
Styled with olive-green Bombas crew socks, the sneakers became one of the most noticeable elements of the look. The unexpected color contrast broke up the cream-and-white palette of her T-shirt and crystal-embellished denim, drawing additional attention to the retro-inspired silhouette.

Hadid’s July 2021 outing wasn’t an isolated endorsement of the collaboration. She returned to the Reebok x Victoria Beckham Dual Court silhouette multiple times during the period.
