Street style brand New Balance celebrated Grey Day on 12 May. Grey has become synonymous with the brand, which originated in the late 1970s. At that time, many discovered that city running in white shoes was impractical as they were easily sullied. Thus, the brand conceptualised the grey theme as a solution for urban runners. The grey suede not only matched the aesthetics of the asphalt, but it also fits right into consumers' lifestyles. Decades and after countless iterations of grey products, grey has made a lasting connection with the brand. At Yahoo Shopping Inspirations, we are psyched because IU (*screams!) continues to be the brand ambassador, this time showing off her dapper style.

Here, we share how IU styles her New Balance kicks and the brand's apparel and shoes in grey (see gallery above). Looking sharp and smart in grey jackets, grey New Balance slacks, T-shirts and New Balance shoes, IU looks as lovely and feminine as ever. These styles are genderless and timeless, meaning your bestie or your bae can twin with you. In addition, we found limited-edition New Balance shoes you may wish to add to your sneakers collection. Let us take a style card from the Korean singer-songwriter and actress.

Trump says he might demand Panama hand over canal
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday accused Panama of charging excessive rates for use of the Panama Canal and said that if Panama did not manage the canal in an acceptable fashion, he would demand the U.S. ally hand it over. In an evening post on Truth Social, Trump also warned he would not let the canal fall into the "wrong hands," and he seemed to warn of potential Chinese influence on the passage, writing the canal should not be managed by China. It also underlines an expected shift in U.S. diplomacy under Trump, who has not historically shied away from threatening allies and using bellicose rhetoric when dealing with counterparts.

OPINION - I'm sorry, but this is why I have no sympathy for the woman whose £10,000 handbag was stolen in London
It did not, I have to say, take long for my sympathy for the woman who had her designer handbag stolen from a changing room in Oxford Street to evaporate into thin air. Nothing sums up more the vulgarity of the culture than the fact that it’s now de rigueur for a young woman to flaunt £10,000 worth of designer handbag as a measure of success. As an artefact, the Hermes JPG Shoulder Birkin, in red is an attractive piece; it’s well made and an intelligent take on the original designed for Jane Birkin.
