The 21-year-old model - who is the brand ambassador for Nike - has admitted she pairs "everything" with a pair of trainers, whether it is a tracksuit or a gown, because she thinks the flatter style of shoe is a lot more trendy than a stiletto.

Speaking to Footwear News about her style preferences, the brunette beauty said: "I would pair them with everything. I've worn sneakers with a gown, with a short dress, a long dress, sweatpants, tracksuits, shorts. You could wear them with anything. [They] always end up looking cooler."

The catwalk icon has revealed her love of shoes started at a young age, as she used to buy high top Converse in the "craziest colours" just so she had a pair to match her different outfits.

She explained: "The first shoe I had every pair of was high-top Converse [Chuck Taylors]. I had the craziest colours, and I always had them match my outfits. Then I started to become obsessed with basketball sneakers and running shoes."

The sportswear giant has recently teamed up with a number of designers to create a limited-edition collection of Nike Air Force trainers to mark the brands 35th anniversary.

And the catwalk icon has revealed her favourite trainers in the range are Virgil Abloh's creation because she thinks his designs are "so personal" and "so distinct."

Speaking about the Off White founder, Bella said: "I think everyone knows I love Virgil. His shoe is so personal, it's so distinct, and it's such a different shoe than you necessarily see all the time because of how personal it is."
