The supermodel took to her Instagram yesterday in style wearing a Christopher John Rogers design from Collection 007 featuring a blocks of colors and a checkerboard pattern. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel accompanied the look with jewelry designs from Stephen Russell and David Michael Jewels.

Though this outfit is ready to kill the game, Kloss’ most noticeable accessory is her red pair of Ancuta Sarca shoes. The London-based designer blended athletic shoes with mule heels for a design that is truly eclectic; it’s an upcycled trainer heel made with old running shoes.

The brand has gained popularity among sneakerheads and fashion pundits due to its modern approach to sneakers. The popular hybrid design uses recycled materials and sustainable techniques to turn nostalgic shoes into retro heels.
