Seeing Victoria Beckham without her Hermès bag and stilettos is equivalent to seeing Jennifer Lopez without her Hermès bag and wedge sandals (or stilettos): It rarely happens, even en route to the gym. So, imagine my surprise when Beckham traded a five-figure Birkin and towering heels for athleisure and rare Nike sneakers on June 25.
To say I didn't see this coming would be the understatement of the year. For context, not even a broken foot stopped Beckham from styling crutches with Alaïa slingbacks two years ago. But even Posh Spice keeps it casual every once in a while. Paparazzi spotted her off-duty gym outfit—a black tank top and matching leggings—outside a beauty salon in Notting Hill, London. Once my eyes landed on her Nike sneakers, I had to double-check it wasn't Sporty Spice beneath that baseball cap.
