Emily Ratajkowski was photographed strolling out in New York on Friday with a coffee in hand.

For her walk, the “Gone Girl” star laced up a pair of Puma Palermo leather sneakers in a “Black-Feather Gray-Gum” colorway. Retailing for $90, the 80s-inspired low-top sneakers featured black and white leather and suede mixed uppers accompanied by white stripes on the sides, rounded suede capped toes, gold Puma logo detailing and black lace-up closures. The athletic Puma style also come in a “White-Vapor Gray-Gum” colorway.

The terrace trend revolves around retro low-top sneakers from the 1970s and ’80s, named after the standing section at soccer stadiums.

The casual kicks were all set atop neutral thick rubber soles fitted with reliable non-slip tread. The thespian’s lace-up style perfectly marries both form and function, merging the best of both worlds. The silver laces offered the athletic pair a touch of glamor. Ratajkowski’s sneakers were paired with gray, black and white striped socks that stopped at the ankles.
