Swedish Princess Laces Up in $60 Platform Sneakers to Work as Health-Care Assistant Amid Pandemic

Princess Sofia of Sweden is working on the front lines of the coronavirus fight through her new job: health-care assistant.

After taking a three-day course at Sophiahemmet University College in Stockholm, the Duchess of Värmland arrived at the Sophiahemmet hospital today to begin her new position. For her first day, Sofia suited up in a scrubbed-up look complete with worn-in Superga sneakers.

There’s a reason that Sofia’s Superga sneakers looked so worn in: She’s worn the style many times before, including for public appearances. For instance, in August 2018, the former reality TV star teamed the kicks with a navy blouse and white trousers for a carriage ride alongside husband Prince Carl Philip.

Superga’s classic trainers have also enjoyed the support of another European royal: Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. The University of St. Andrews alum has sported the Cotu silhouette on multiple occasions. Plus, the brand has even acknowledged that sneaker sales doubled due to the Brit’s support.
