And if IKEA knows anything, it’s how to make a statement through collaboration.

It was only a matter of time before the classic sneaker bowed at the feet of balletcore, and this week, a new bombshell has entered the villa. Overnight, photos of adidas’ newest silhouette – the Stan Smith Low Ballet – surfaced online. With an ultra-flat sole and a Mary Jane-inspired strap, the shoe marks a quiet but assured entry into what we’re calling the ballerina sneaker 'sneakerina' trend : part streetwear, part studio rehearsal, and all about grace under pressure.
