Shoe of the Week: Jacquemus Tennis Soft Lemon
|
Time to read 0 min
There are sneakers that try very hard to be interesting. And then there's the Jacquemus Tennis Soft Lemon, which arrives with a removable lemon leaf on the toe — in embossed lamb leather, obviously — and doesn't feel the need to explain itself.
It's built from recycled cotton with a water-repellent, fray-resistant finish, which means it's doing the right thing without making a big deal of it. The almond toe is elegant. The flat laces are clean. The custom Rond-Carré rubber sole is the kind of detail you notice on second look. And the lemon leaf? You either get it or you don't — and if you're reading this, you probably do.
Why we picked it
Because it's genuinely joyful without being silly. The lemon detail is specific enough to feel like a point of view, not a gimmick, and the construction is considered enough to justify the price. It's also made in Portugal, which matters. This is a shoe that earns its place in a wardrobe — not just a summer.
Wear it with wide-leg linen trousers and a simple tank for full south-of-France energy. Or with a mini dress and no-show socks if you're keeping it city. Either way, it does the talking.
Slim fit — size up for comfort.
