\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \n\tNordstrom\u2019s Anniversary Sale<\/a> rarely offers discounts on the footwear styles driving current trends, making this year\u2019s inclusion of Adidas\u2019 Taekwondo Mei Ballet Flat Sneaker<\/a> and Puma\u2019s Speedcat Ballet Suede Sneaker<\/a> especially notable. Both ballet<\/a> sneakers<\/a> (also known as sneakerinas<\/a>) have become summer 2026 favorites, selling out quickly and remaining difficult to find at reduced prices.<\/p>\n \n\tThe timing aligns with Puma\u2019s decision to continue leaning into the ballet-inspired evolution of its Speedcat franchise. With the launch of the label\u2019s Speedcat Etoile collection<\/a>, repped by Blackpink\u2019s Ros\u00e9, it\u2019s responding to the growing demand for softer, more feminine takes on the racing-inspired silhouette \u2014\u00a0further cementing ballet sneakers<\/a> as one of the season\u2019s biggest footwear fascinations.<\/p>\n \n\tThe ballet sneaker trend <\/a>represents the latest manifestation of balletcore, a fashion movement that brought dance-coded details back into everyday wardrobes. Unlike traditional ballet flats, these 2.0 designs merge the daintiness and elegance of dance shoes<\/a> with the versatility of sneakers, resulting in a hybrid that appeals to both street-style trendsetters and regular shoppers.<\/p>\n \n\tThe obsession has gained momentum through celebrity fans including Nicole Kidman, Bella Hadid, and Jennifer Lawrence, who have given their seal of approval to sneakerinas as of late. It\u2019s a practical measure, too, seeing as how the shoe balances softness and structure: granting all-day comfort, but never at the cost of covetable looks.<\/p>\n \n\tThrough August 9, customers can save on the Adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet Flat Sneaker<\/a> at Nordstrom, where it\u2019s selling for $90 (down from $110), not to mention the Puma Speedcat Ballet Suede Sneaker<\/a> (17 percent off as we speak).<\/p>\n \n\tOnce the Anniversary Sale <\/a>wraps up, both styles are expected to return to their normal prices. Consider this a warning.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMost Viral\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\tPuma Speedcat Ballet Suede Sneaker\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tPuma\u2019s Speedcat Ballet Sneaker in suede features the best of both worlds (specifically, the worlds of racing-inspired runners and ballet flats). Its streamlined profile is marked by flexible elastic straps, a floating Formstrip, and a cushioned OrthoLite insole for crushing 10,000 steps sans foot fatigue. <\/p>\n The shoe\u2019s Dark Chocolate iteration is almost fully sold out on the site, so don\u2019t miss your shot at owning this personality-rich and pink one.<\/p>\n Price upon publish date of this article:\u00a0$74.99\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAlso Available in Brown\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\tAdidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet Flat\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tThe buzzy Adidas Taekwondo Mei\u2019s only goal? To pamper your outfit rotation with some Y2K nostalgia, all while keeping wearability top of mind. Designed to be ultralow on purpose, with wraparound laces and a breathable woven upper, the sneaker hybrid makes room for multiple styling opportunities and can go just as well with your grungier ensembles as with chic maxi skirts or summery frocks.<\/p>\n Price upon publish date of this article:\u00a0$89.99\t<\/p>\n \n\tSign up for\u00a0WWD Shop<\/a>\u2018s newsletter\u00a0to get the scoop on the best in\u00a0beauty\u00a0and\u00a0style\u00a0with in-depth reviews of exciting new releases and buyer\u2019s guides to find the products you need to try ASAP.<\/p>\n \t\tWhy Trust Footwear News\t<\/p>\n \n\tFor more than 75 years, Footwear News has been the shoe authority.
