Shahid Kapoor‘s sneaker collection is a constant source of wonder for me. Name any designer sneaker — Givenchy Tyson, Rick Owens Geobasket, Giuseppe Zanotti London, Alexander McQueen Oversized, adidas x Rick Owens Tech Runner — and he seems to have it in his shoe closet. And for Udta Punjab promotion trail, he took out a good few of them for a spin. Wanna see?

My favourite was the Rick Owens low-top Baseball sneakers: seriously slick and yet street smart thanks to the shark-tooth sole.

While we are at it, I must say a word (or ten!) about Shahid’s get-up during Udta Punjab promotions. Styled by Vasundhara Sharma, all the looks combined effortless summer cool with a touch of put-together smartness. And the best thing about them is that it is accessible to one and all: grab a nice casual shirt/tee, slip into a pair of jogger chinos and get on a pair of minimalist sneakers and you’re good to go.
