Superga x Emily Ratajkowski Gives Us The Dream 'Off-Duty Model' White Sneakers

American model and actress Emily Ratajkowski is Superga’s newest ambassador, and she has a new collaboration with the Italian sneaker brand as well, featuring a clean pair of Superga 2750s, and another pair of Alpina high-tops, both in timeless white.

While you might recognise her for her turn in music videos “Blurred Lines” and Maroon 5’s “Love Somebody”, we’d argue that her big cultural moment happened when New York Magazine‘s The Cut published a stunning piece of social commentary, where she reflects on men in the industry owning her image. Give it a read, if you haven’t.

For now though, we’ll focus on her limited edition capsule collaboration. Superga x Emily Ratajkowski features two iconic styles with subtle design twists.

The first sees Emily customising the Superga 2750, conceived as the first Italian tennis shoe, where she’s faithful to the original’s details while keeping to an understated all-white look. The white canvas is complemented by off-white bindings and rounded shoe laces, with a silver metal aglet detail.

Then, there’s the 2636 Alpina. A trekking shoe originally designed for hikers in the 50s, Emily updates it with a classic white style, with off-white bindings and silver metal aglets as well. “I love Superga and their timeless approach to sneakers,” she says. “I’ve been wearing the brand for years so this collaboration felt completely natural to me.”

Elsewhere, the model also flaunts pieces from the Superga Classic Collection — these are the Superga Classic 2750 that goes with practically anything in your wardrobe; the 2790 Flatform with some flattering added height; the 2631 Stripe where the toe is reinforced with a striped rubber cap; and 2490 Bold Organic, featuring an organic cotton upper and cork insole.
