  • The Duchess of Cambridge was spotted wearing New Balance sneakers at the King's Cup regatta.

  • The shoes are available on Amazon for $50, marked down from $70.

  • Kate Middleton has previously worn New Balance sneakers at other public events, meaning that they have her royal seal of approval.


It’s easy to assume royals go all out when it comes to clothes. After all, they're freakin' royalty. Well, Kate Middleton is here to keep it real.

The Duchess of Cambridge was spotted wearing New Balance sneakers while at the King’s Cup regatta on Thursday.

Kate showed up in serious sailor style while raising awareness for the sport of sailing and raising money for Action on Addiction, Place2Be, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, The Royal Foundation, Child Bereavement UK, Centrepoint, and London’s Air Ambulance Charity and Tusk.

Kate also rocked simple black shorts, a grey Gill windbreaker with the Regatta emblem on it, a navy baseball cap, and a #fierce expression as she sailed the seas.

But about those sneakers. Sure, New Balance sneakers aren’t cheap, but they’re still something us peasants (jk, jk) can afford.


It’s hard to tell ~exactly~ which New Balance kicks Kate is working, but they look like the Fresh Foam Arishi v2 in Light Cyclone with Sea Salt & Champagne Metallic (how very appropriate for sailing). These sneakers are currently on sale for $50 on Amazon, marked down from $70.

Apparently, Kate has a thing for New Balance sneakers, because she also wore a different (but equally cute) pair to play soccer with kids in Ireland. Those sneakers were New Balance's Fresh Foam Cruz V2 in "pigment," which are currently on sale on Amazon for $52 (originally $89).

Brb, gotta go add some new shoes to my cart.
