Dutch mourn Jan Jansens legacy as Tour de France eyes Trondheim and Oranje faces retail crisis
Netherlands lose key defender Timber to injury: Geertruida called up
The Dutch fashion world mourns the loss of Jan Jansen, the Amsterdam-based shoe designer whose bold, sculptural creations redefined footwear in the 1960s and 1970s, after his death on Friday at the age of 85 . Jansen, whose work was celebrated for its innovative forms and comfort, leaves behind a legacy that continues to influence contemporary design, including the enduring popularity of flat, unpretentious footwear epitomized by figures like Jennifer Aniston .
In cycling, the Tour de France’s potential arrival in Norway is gaining momentum as thousands gather in Trondheim for LEtape on Saturday, a mass-participation event aimed at impressing race officials ahead of a potential 2030 opening stage . Organizers hope the enthusiasm during the city’s millennium celebrations will secure Trondheim a place on the world’s most prestigious cycling route, a move that would mark a historic expansion for the Tour.
Meanwhile, Dutch football fans are grappling with the commercial fallout of a potential early exit by the national team, Oranje, at the ongoing World Cup. Retailers across the Netherlands are bracing for unsold stock of orange jerseys, scarves, and festive attire if the team fails to advance, leaving shops with mountains of merchandise designed for a deep tournament run . The concern underscores the high stakes for both the team’s performance and the country’s retail sector, which has heavily invested in World Cup-themed apparel.
Across Europe, the 2026 World Cup is also making its mark on fashion, with pink cleats dominating pitches and television screens alike . The trend, embraced by players from Argentina to Saudi Arabia, reflects a shift toward visibility and style, with the vibrant color drawing attention in stadiums and on broadcasts. The phenomenon highlights how global sporting events increasingly intersect with sartorial choices, shaping both athletic and consumer culture.
In the Netherlands, the pre-tournament jitters extend beyond fashion to the broader economy, as businesses tied to Oranje’s success face uncertainty. The scenario echoes past tournaments where early eliminations left retailers scrambling, a reminder of the delicate balance between sporting hope and commercial reality. For now, fans in Trondheim and beyond are holding their breath, hoping their team’s performance will justify the investments—and the orange wardrobes.
