While nearly *all* of lululemon's beloved athleisure pieces can be considered covet-worthy, one new release just shot to the top of my wish list, particularly because it's linked to none other than Kate Middleton. Yep, even the Princess of Wales wears lululemon—royals, they're (sometimes) just like us. I am, course, talking about the Chargefeel 3 sneakers ($148), an updated version of the Chargefeel kicks that Middleton has been seen sporting since 2023.

The recently upgraded style features a versatile design intended to support you through any workout—whether you frequently hit the gym or prefer to work up a sweat on the tennis court. Below, find all the need-to-knows on these royal-approved sneakers that'll come in handy for all your fitness resolutions and then some.

PureWow editor (and royals expert) Rachel Bowie put the original version of the lululemon Chargefeels to the test and said, "I was impressed—mainly due to the weight of the shoe and how springy it made my step...My foot felt completely secure and properly positioned sans blisters—a win." The updated Chargefeel 3 is also designed with a responsive midsole that should offer that same light, springy feel, along with a forefoot band and a molded heel clip for a secure fit.

The shoes are also outfitted with a layered upper for added support, lululemon's soft Nulu fabric at the heel and a grooved outsole that provides a good grip on all sorts of surfaces—from treadmill belt to soil. Not to mention, they were made specifically to fit the shape of a female foot, so you can feel like a sporty Cinderella whenever you slip 'em on.

Tons of shoppers have already scored the new version of the style, and, no surprise here, are totally obsessed. "They nailed the hybrid design with this version—soft cushion and firm support in all the right places," one recent reviewer writes. "The base of the shoe sole extends wider than the shoe itself, providing a great deal of lateral support which is perfect on the pickleball court."

In fact, *so* many people are rushing to buy them that the just-launched style—that also comes in a vibrant pink—is already selling out. If you want to get your hands (well, feet) on a pair, I'd suggest adding-to-cart sooner rather than later—I know I (and maybe even Middleton herself) will be.
