Sneaker trends are constantly evolving. Case in point: Hailey Bieber's unexpected endorsement of the jelly shoe sneaker hybrid, in a neon lemon and lime shade, no less. While Adidas Sambas have always been a firm favorite with It girls and celebs, they've been notably absent from recent trend reports. However, Kristen Stewart just confirmed there's a very good reason that Adidas Sambas are considered a classic sneaker style.

The Chronology of Water director was photographed in New York City on August 8 wearing silky pants, a white T-shirt, and an open shirt. For footwear, she opted for a pair of Adidas Samba Deco SPZL "Core Black" Sneakers featuring a Lucid Lime Green back panel and stripes.
