Ciara was spotted on Tuesday in New York in monochromatic athleisure. The beloved performer is currently promoting her new song, “Run It Up,” which was released on Aug. 9. The song features rapper BossMan Dlow.
Keeping casual, the “Level Up” singer donned a pair of athletic chunky black Nike Air Max Plus sneakers. Retailing for $145 via Foot Locker, the style included breathable black mixed material uppers fixed with shiny matching black accents, the brand’s iconic swoosh detailing on the sides, black laces and thick non-slip rubber soles. The all-black silhouette offered her a monochrome feel, imparting a clean, athletic appearance. While the entirety of the sneaker was black, the shiny sections broke up the neutral color palette, creating dimension.
Taking major inspiration from hip-hop and street style, many footwear brands have released chunky sneakers. On par with the “dad sneaker” trend, the footwear style is effortlessly cool, built with and oversized look that pairs well with everything from sweats to denim. Similar kicks to Ciara’s own can be purchased from top brands like Fila, Nike, Steve Madden and Diesel, just to name a few.

Cozy and ultra cool, Ciara wore a black sweat set hailing from Alexander Wang. The two-piece featured baggy sweats and a matching cropped top with a zip-up closure and gathered trim. Both pieces were crafted of a shiny black fabric fixed with the designer brand’s logo.
When it comes to fashion, Ciara never shies away from a statement. The musician frequently dons gowns, dresses and bodysuits featuring prints, textures and bold colors from Tom Ford, Alexandre Vauthier and more top brands. Her shoe wardrobe also features daring, strappy styles with tall heels by Giuseppe Zanotti, Femme LA and Stuart Weitzman. She’s also known to favor tall boots by Prada and Lesilla, and can often be seen in Converse sneakers while off-duty.
