To say that Jennifer Lopez has worn the highest platform sneakers of her life is saying something. In her collection of impossibly high heels, we find true defiance of the laws of gravity, whether we’re talking about heels or even Uggs. Yet when it comes to sneakers, she tends to opt for greater comfort over height. Or at least that was the case until today.
Seeing her in the Nike Cortez Platform Comme des Garçons has opened a new chapter in her manual of challenging shoes that are not necessarily suitable for the rest of us. Perhaps if you, like Lopez, tend walk several inches off the ground, you’ll be able to handle them without a problem. Who knows? Although we won’t fail to point out that she’s sitting in the image she shared on her Instagram account. We’ll leave that detail at that.
Let’s remember that this Nike collaboration with Comme des Garçons was launched in 2018, meaning the singer, actor, and businesswoman dutifully rescued them from the back of her closet. And since nothing is impossible for Rei Kawakubo, the mastermind behind Comme des Garçons, this statement shoe—inspired by the sneakers and all its exaggeration—is ideal for a diva who won’t settle for just any pair of sneakers.
It must be said that Lopez has toned them down, if that’s possible, with a very simple and sporty look. In her umpteenth exercise in athleisure, she wore a basic T-shirt, oversized pants, and a cap, all accessorized with her favorite jewelry. Where she could have perfectly placed a pair of gold sandals with infinite heels, as she usually does, she has opted to recall this iconic pair, only suitable for bold dressers who aren’t afraid of heights.
With these platform sneakers, Jennifer Lopez set a new record in her own personal Guinness Book of Style. What’s next?
