Both Paris GUM Ripple: where sport meets street style
The Parisian label's textured sneaker finds its perfect counterpoint in oversized tailoring and tinted sunglasses, a casual collision of athletics and urban ease.

Both Paris presents the GUM Ripple sneaker as something more than mere footwear; it becomes the anchor point for a deliberate reframing of how sportswear speaks to contemporary dressing. Paired here with an oversized black football jersey, the shoe’s flowing lines and generously proportioned rubber sole echo the collection’s studied relaxation, its proportions deliberately loose where tailoring once held tight.
White textured trousers cut long through the leg, their crinkled surface catching light, create an unexpected textural dialogue with the sneaker’s rounded sole. Red tinted sunglasses complete what is less a look and more a philosophy: that sportiness need not announce itself through logos or performance claims, but rather through the quiet confidence of proportion and material. The GUM Ripple’s black and white contrast reads as essential counterpoint to this studied ease.
Both Paris has built its reputation on this particular sensibility, the kind of casualness that requires genuine thought. Here, the brand demonstrates how a single shoe can orchestrate an entire mood, transforming what might otherwise be everyday pieces into something with genuine presence and intention. The result is sportswear that speaks with humour and genuine style, never earnest, always considered.
