Hayley Williams kicked off the first night supporting Taylor Swift on the European leg of her Eras Tour in one of her tried-and-true athletic shoes.
The Paramore frontwoman strutted onto the stage at Paris La Défense Arena in a pair of Adidas SL 72 sneakers — a favorite on TikTok — in the green, almost pink and night indigo colorway, which retail for $100.
Williams has been a longtime fan of Adidas, often wearing sneakers from the brand while performing. Back in March 2023, while on tour with Swift for the first portion of her Eras Tour, Williams sported Adidas Originals x Pharrell Williams Humanrace Samba suede-trimmed leather sneakers in Buenos Aires. Williams doesn’t always stick with sneakers on stage. She has also been a fan of knee-high boots and pointed-toe pumps for TV appearances, red carpets and concerts. While performing at the Forum in Los Angeles, Calif., she wore the Edie leather boots in black from By Far. In October 2023, she wore black suede Manolo Blahnik pointed-toe pumps while performing at Webster Hall in New York City, and for her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” she wore the Miu Miu Banana Mary Jane Pump, which retail at $1,170.
The concert at Paris La Défense Arena marks the commencement of the international leg of the Eras Tour, which began last year and is scheduled to continue until December 2024. Swift performed in a custom pair of Christian Louboutin boots, while the tour itself is planned to include 152 shows across five continents. Amidst the tour schedule, Swift took a momentary pause to release her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Paramore has been confirmed to open for 51 dates throughout the European leg of the tour.
