White trainers are something of a staple in today’s fashion climate. What started out as a blitzkrieg of bloggers deeming the Adidas Superstar and Stan Smith trainers to be the new It shoes, has sparked a footwear revolution. No longer is your sense of style measured by the heel of your stiletto; rather, it’s often times determined by the name behind your basic white trainer.
The new Dolce & Gabbana design, however, isn't your run-of-the-mill white shoe. Its shape may be typical, but its design is covered in beaded motifs, spiked and studded trims, and graffiti-like slogans. "No way", "So fab", and "Just pizza" are some of the phrases scrawled on the otherwise pristine white trainers.
Is this the next cult fashion shoe? Many have turned in their white Converse and Nike trainers for Gucci’s Ace Sneaker, which features the brand’s signature triple stripe and embroidered or bedazzled appliqués, and this latest launch by Dolce & Gabbana seems like it will attract a similar clientele.
The Dolce & Gabbana autumn/winter 2017 white trainers are now available at the flagship Dolce & Gabbana store in Mall of the Emirates for Dh4,000.

Three tips from La Perle's performers
1 The kind of water athletes drink is important. Gwilym Hooson, a 28-year-old British performer who is currently recovering from knee surgery, found that out when the company was still in Studio City, training for 12 hours a day. “The physio team was like: ‘Why is everyone getting cramps?’ And then they realised we had to add salt and sugar to the water,” he says.
2 A little chocolate is a good thing. “It’s emergency energy,” says Craig Paul Smith, La Perle’s head coach and former Cirque du Soleil performer, gesturing to an almost-empty open box of mini chocolate bars on his desk backstage.
3 Take chances, says Young, who has worked all over the world, including most recently at Dragone’s show in China. “Every time we go out of our comfort zone, we learn a lot about ourselves,” she says.
Electoral College Victory
Trump has so far secured 295 Electoral College votes, according to the Associated Press, exceeding the 270 needed to win. Only Nevada and Arizona remain to be called, and both swing states are leaning Republican. Trump swept all five remaining swing states, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, sealing his path to victory and giving him a strong mandate.
Popular Vote Tally
The count is ongoing, but Trump currently leads with nearly 51 per cent of the popular vote to Harris’s 47.6 per cent. Trump has over 72.2 million votes, while Harris trails with approximately 67.4 million.
