Adele may be becoming a sneakerhead.
The superstar donned a fresh pair of Jordans for her latest courtside appearance at the newly renamed Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles Friday night. For the date night outing with her boyfriend Rich Paul, the "Easy on Me" singer chose an all-black look to watch the LA Lakers play the Atlanta Hawks, with the high-top black-and-white sneakers as the eye-catching highlight.
In the pics, which you can see here, the "Someone Like You" singer wears the Jordan 1 Retro High Twists with a black coat with gold buttons on the cuffs, matching black joggers, and a black face mask. Her hair is styled in an elegant twisted updo and she also wears her trademark winged eyeliner.
As for Paul, the all-star agent wore a Gucci leather bomber jacket over a white shirt and distressed jeans. Both he and Adele were photographed laughing and enjoying the game alongside their seatmate John Legend, and his son Miles.
Last night's look was the singer's most casual fit since she started regularly attending NBA games with Paul, who she started dating last year. For her first appearance, at Game 5 of the NBA Finals in Phoenix, the star paired a splatter-print floor-length coat with a black top and leggings and open-toe heels. She also went with glam footwear for a game last October, pairing a brown leather blazer and matching pants with a Louis Vuitton monogram wool coat and pointed-toe pumps.
Though we rarely see Adele in casual fits, with the singer preferring Schiaparelli for her performance looks, it's nice to see that the star's sneaker game is just as fabulous.
