Jennifer Lopez breaks her trainer height record with these Nike Cortez platforms

To say that Jennifer Lopez has worn the highest platform sneakers of her life is saying a lot. Her collection of impossible heels truly defy the law of gravity, and when opting for trainers J-Lo usually goes for more comfort.

Or so it was, at least, until now. Seeing her with the Nike Cortez Platform Comme des Garçons has opened a new chapter in her manual of challenging shoes, not suitable for the rest of us mortals. Maybe if you walk several centimetres above the ground, like her, you can handle them without a problem. Who knows. Although we will not fail to point out that in the image she has shared of them on her Instagram account (captioned as part of a May 2025 photo dump) she appears seated. There we leave that fact.

J-Lo’s Nike collaboration with Comme des Garçons in question was launched in 2018, so the singer, actress and businesswoman must have rescued them from the back of the closet with all the right tools. This piece was once inspired by the Camp aesthetic and all its exaggeration. This is supremely ideal for a diva who doesn’t settle for just any pair of trainers, so perfectly fitting on all counts.

Today Jennifer Lopez has softened them, it must be said, and if it is possible, with a simple and sporty look. Basic T-shirt, oversize trousers and cap, all adorned with her favourite jewellery. Where she could have perfectly placed some gold sandals with infinite heels, as she usually does, she has chosen to remember this iconic pair, only suitable for daring users who are not afraid of heights. With it, she has set a new record to beat in her own Guinness Book of Style. What’s next?
