Emily Ratajkowski Models Toms’ Cheetah Print TRVL LITE Retro Runner Sneaker During Outing in NYC

Street style has largely been Emily Ratajkowski‘s calling card this year. The model, author and podcaster is often right on or ahead of footwear trends — she’s been one of the biggest proponents of the Puma Speedcat amongst other sneaker styles. Her latest pair of shoes she wore during one of her habitual walks around New York City are no different.

The mother of one was spotted this week in a pair of Toms Trvl Lite Retro Runner sneakers. The shoes are water repellant. Also as an everyday sneaker they feature the company’s Cloud Comfort sole, and are made of mixed media uppers including suede.

Most notably, the shoes incorporate a cheetah print. Animal prints have been trending this year, whether cheetah and leopard. This is only expected to increase in the coming months. Tara Reid wore a pair of cheetah-print booties earlier this month from Christian Louboutin. She wore that for a Y2K-themed ensemble. In October, Rihanna debuted a new version of Gianvito Rossi’s Montecarlo sandal.

The new sandal was from the brand’s resort 2025 collection. That version as well as other styles from that collection featured a leopard print.

Suede is typically also viewed as a fabric associated with colder months. Though it can be worn year round, its more often used for shoes released in fall and winter seasons.

The Toms Trvl Lite Retro Runner is available in four other colors including black, grey and more.

Ratajkowski wore the sneakers with an oversized brown leather jacket and grey pants as well as yellow shades.
