Influencer and Big Brother star Joja Siwa seems to be bringing back a beloved fashion trend as she was spotted wearing this iconic footwear – and we know how to shop Jojo’s exact pair

Joja Siwa is certainly one for bringing back old-school fashion trends, and this week, she’s at it again. Photographed playing tennis with Chris Hughes, Jojo Siwa was seen sporting a pair of Nike high-tops that were all the rage back in the 2010s. But could the iconic footwear be making a comeback?

Jojo was wearing the Nike Jordan 1 Retro High ’85 in what appears to be the black-and-white colourway, though due to the lighting, she could have been wearing the navy-and-white or indigo-and-white options.

And if you’re keen to revive the decade-old trend with the exact pair of shoes Jojo opted for, the good news is we’ve found one place to shop the Nike Jordans in all sizes from UK 4 to 17.

Coming in a huge range of shades and combinations, the Nike Jordan 1 Retro high tops are an ode to the original Air Jordan 1s from 1983, emulating the iconic style that’s been a firm favourite in footwear collections for decades.

Jojo’s sneakers have been designed with a luxe leather upper and revolutionary Air-Sole unit inside. They come armed with lightweight cushioning and a premium feel that ensures your feet are comfortable no matter what, whether you’re partaking in casual gameplay over a weekend or taking to the court like Michael Jordan himself.

This retro version features the same cupsole profile and thick stitch detailing as the original, ensuring you match the age-old trend, with all of the support and durability from a modern-day shoe.

The stable and supportive Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is finished with a textile tongue for soft, breathable comfort and a lace-up fastening that keeps your high-tops in place and secure, ready to face all activities.

Jojo’s Nike high tops are available to buy for £149, though Stock X does allow you to place a bid. Depending on your budget, you may be able to secure your own for less.

If you’re happy to shop an alternative style high-top, Nike offer these Nike Dunk High Retro in black and white, and they’re currently for sale for £71.99.

For those looking to ditch the Nike brand, Adidas have a similar look with these Rapid Court Mid High-Top Trainers, which cost £34 at Sports Direct.

Today’s horoscope for Sunday, August 10 will see one sign spend some time alone, as another prioritises their health

It’s Sunday, and one star sign is urged not to rush into decisions, while another holds off on overspending.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

You’re struggling to understand yourself and your emotions. For some reason you are taking all the blame for issues in a close relationship. While it is true you have played a part in it, instead of punishing yourself, why not have an open and honest conversation with your partner?

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Unforeseen costs may occur due to you having to lend a loved one some cash or pay for something they need but cannot afford. You might worry about their lack of money-sense but this isn’t the time for lectures. That can come later; though whether they listen or not is another story.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Your focus is on your home and family when you are getting together to finalise details of a little project plan. Loved ones appreciate your knack for sensing their needs and feelings. You seem to be the one who comes up with the best ideas on how to take this forward with everyone’s preferences in mind.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

The outcome of your day hinges on whether or not you find the time to finish a personal project. You are also aware of a relationship that could do with some attention. Things haven’t been too good between you lately. Do you want to save this relationship or are you ready to let it go?

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

You need to start focusing more on yourself. Set aside any unfinished tasks and don’t hesitate to say no if someone asks for your help especially if this is something you don’t want to do. You’ve worked hard and supported everyone around you. Now, make your personal life and well-being your top priority.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

A get-together will take place in a friendly and warm environment. You won’t want to miss out on this occasion. You feel fortunate to be among some wonderful friends who can provide you with this much-needed opportunity to have fun and recharge.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

If you haven’t been managing your budget well, it is no surprise that financial troubles hit you like an avalanche today. You cannot ignore this problem any longer. Talk to an older relative. They won’t be happy about it but they may offer a loan to help you out.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

You’re anticipating a fun event involving a number of interesting people. Someone you meet at this gathering could become a good friend. Although you are tempted to overspend, try to hold back. You can have fun without it costing a lot. You will be grateful to yourself later when an unexpected bill needs to be paid.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

Rushing into decisions and acting impulsively as you are tempted to do will not yield positive results. You would feel better knowing that a business project or social enterprise is set up for success and this can only happen if everyone takes a careful and considered approach from the start.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

Make health a priority. When was the last time you really relaxed? Remind yourself of how refreshing a short break and change of scenery can be. Arrange to take a break from your busy schedule. Spend time with your closest friends and family and soak in their love and understanding.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

The best moments for you today will be those that are spent alone. You aren’t being anti-social, you just know you won’t be the most enjoyable company for those around you. There’s nothing wrong with needing some time to yourself. A good book can also be a wonderful escape.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Given some recent challenges and problems, a rejuvenating day in nature would be the perfect remedy. At the same time, today will not be entirely about relaxation as you may have to attend to some pressing financial or domestic matters, this evening.

Tess Daly and Emily Blunt’s stylist Phil Smith says the TikTok hack for spritzing your scalp with watered down SPF can only lead to disaster

Another heatwave looms which means dips in the pool, frolicking in the sea and the sun’s rays beating down on your hair. Meanwhile, people are jetting off to sunny resorts where they can top up their tan and cool off in either the hotel’s swimming pools or in some crystal waters on a foreign beach.

But while sun, sea and swimming pools are the best bits of summer – they might be the worst for our hair. Celebrity hairdresser Phil Smith, who has looked after Tess Daly and Emily Blunt’s hair, says he always sees a surge in clients arriving at his salon worrying about frizzing, colour fade and frazzled scalps at this time of year.

However, there’s no need to let your tresses go fully feral with his expert insights and surprising hacks. “Maintaining effortless, healthy hair all summer can be a challenge – but with the right tips, tricks and products, you can protect your locks without compromising on style and quality,” he says.

Don’t fall for TikTok hair sunscreen hacks

We’ve all experienced that sting in the shower after a day at the beach – the telltale sign of a sunburned scalp. But avoiding a pink parting isn’t always as easy as it sounds. “I’ve seen people on TikTok suggest mixing sunscreen with water in a spray bottle to mist over the scalp,” says Phil.

“Unfortunately, this just dilutes the SPF, making it far less protective. And it’s a big no no if you have hair extensions too. “If the sunscreen contains ingredients like avobenzone, it can leave rust-like stains on them,” he adds.

Instead, a smarter approach is to choose a hairstyle that eliminates your parting altogether. “Slicking your hair back into a ponytail is one option, but that can be a bit harsh and doesn’t suit everyone. I recommend going for a topknot or a couple of soft buns instead. Just leave a few loose strands out for a softer, more effortless look – it’s protective and super cute.”

Use ketchup to boost blonde tones

It’s particularly tough being a blonde in summer, when colour can be left brassy and battered by pollution and UV exposure – or even go green after contact with chlorine. “One hair hack I particularly love, because it shocks people that it works, is using tomato ketchup to reverse green tinges,” says Phil.

“Apply a tablespoon to lengths and wait up to 30 minutes before rinsing. The acid in the tomatoes and vinegar break down the copper build-up that causes the discolouration, restoring the blonde tones you love.

If you prefer results in seconds rather than smelling like you belong in a burger for half an hour, when you get back from your sunshine break, he suggests grabbing a bottle of Phil Smith Professional Haircare Blonde Toning Shampoo (£14 each; ), which uses amino acid rich violet rice extract to have you back to your ‘natural’ colour in the time it takes to shampoo and rinse.”

Shower before the pool to protect against chlorine

There’s nothing better than diving into a cool pool on a hot day, but chlorinated water can leave hair dry, brittle and weak. The good news? A little prep goes a long way. “Our hair is porous, but it can only absorb so much water at once,” says Phil. “If you want to limit how much chlorine your hair soaks up, wet your hair with fresh water before swimming.

“Take a quick shower or, if you’re at the beach, keep a refillable bottle of tap water handy so you can rinse before taking the plunge.” Phil also advises against swimming with your hair down. “I always tell my clients to apply a leave-in conditioner and then tie hair up in a bun to shield it,” he says.

Use the right towel on damp locks

Wet hair is much weaker and more prone to breakage than dry strands, so how you care for it after a swim is just as crucial as before. “Keep a soft microfibre towel like the Dock & Bay Hair Wrap (£15; uk.dockandbay.com ) in your beach bag so you aren’t tempted to rough dry with an abrasive beach towel, which will damage the cuticle and leave you with a halo of frizz,” says Phil.

If you want to comb out knots post-swim, he advises buying a wet brush. “The MDLondon Vent Brush (£13; mdlondon.com ) is perfect,” says Phil. “Start detangling from the ends and work upwards to avoid breakage and minimise discomfort.

Add a pump of Phil Smith Professional Haircare Miracle Primer (£14; Tesco.com) at the same time, with hyaluronic acid to fight humidity-induced frizz and plant-based hemisqualane to smooth and detangle.

Get your roots done once you’ve returned home

Everyone wants their hair to look amazing in their holiday photos, but if your sunshine getaway happens to fall around the time you’re due to see your colourist, it might be worth delaying that appointment.

“UV rays break down dye pigment molecules, so when you’re on a sun-soaked holiday it’s almost impossible to avoid fading and dullness – unless you spend the entire trip under a giant hat,” says Phil.

“While no one wants to skip a root touch-up to cover greys, if you can, I recommend stretching the time between appointments and scheduling your session for after you return home. Getting your hair professionally coloured is an investment – this way, your colour stays fresher for longer and you avoid paying for salon results that can’t last.”

Jessica, 17, was helped to the front of the crowd by kindhearted gig-goers who noticed her homemade sign – before she shared a special moment with Noel Gallagher

A young Oasis fan was moved to tears when generous concert-goers assisted her in getting to the front of the crowd at the band’s inaugural Edinburgh performance, leading to a memorable moment with Noel Gallagher.

Jessica, hailing from south west Scotland, was positioned at the barrier’s forefront for the Murrayfield gig on Friday, August 8, where her homemade sign caught the attention of Noel and his bandmate Bonehead.

The 17 year old expressed that the band ‘saved her life’ as she dealt with mental health issues. It was a concert she never imagined would take place, and Jessica shared that she felt her entire life had been ‘building up to it’. It comes after reports a dad’s tragic three-word post hours before plunging to his death at Oasis gig.

In a chat with the Manchester Evening News, she revealed: “Oasis is my favourite band and has been for a very long time. When their reunion was announced I was so happy, I got tickets in the presale and started a little countdown to my gig. My whole life was building up to me seeing them”, reports the Manchester Evening News.

She added: “My mam had bought me a little blanket/flag and said I should take it and I decided to paint on it saying how much Oasis means to me and hope I got to a barrier to show them. I was third row for most of the gig but the people in front of me were so kind and let me to the barrier to hang my sign over it during the encore. I was sobbing – like I had been for most of the gig – and during The Masterplan I saw Noel look over.

“He had to tilt his head because I was very far on his left and there were cameras and speakers in the way and my flag was tilted a bit to the side and difficult to read. He saw and smiled at it and occasionally looked over through the rest of the songs.”

Paul Arthurs – Bonehead – also noticed the sign, and later responded to Jessica on X, writing: “I saw your flag too and I’m glad [I] did, you carry on and hold your head high. We’re right behind you.”

Jessica added: “I’ve suffered with my mental health a lot over the years and when I found Oasis, something clicked and suddenly I found myself obsessed and I ended up knowing so much about them and all their songs.

“I’m autistic and they’re my special interest. I was always holding out hope they’d reunite and they did and getting tickets helped motivate me and feel better. I met some really good people, including a girl named Lucy, who helped me get my good spot and was hugging me. Seeing Oasis live really healed something in me.”
