Graphic Tees That Go Hard With the Latest Shoes

Oct 2, 2025

Gen Z didn't invent graphic tees, but it may have perfected them. The low-key T-shirt and sneakers combo is somehow both timeless and effortlessly on-trend, brought surging back to relevance by today's high-schoolers and college kids. 

With these simple styling tips for your vivid graphic tees, you can rep your personal style in comfy classic looks that you'll be wearing on repeat.

Build Your Look from the Top Down

Graphic tees are wardrobe essentials. They're bold and expressive, retro-rooted but unquestionably current — and above all, a comfortable, confident streetwear staple. A graphic tee can showcase anything from old-school bands to cutting-edge digital art or stripped-down minimalist prints. 

 

Feeling a throwback vibe? Reach for a classic '90s look like the Jordan Big Boys' AJ5 Grape Escape Tee or the Jordan Men's Graphic Tee. Or pick out a classic skatewear staple like the Von Dutch Men's Skull Wrap Tee - Black

 

The look starts from the top. Browse graphic tees for men or women on the Hibbett mobile app or at your local Hibbett store to find designs to match your mood and elevate your sneaker outfits.

Fit Matters: Getting Oversized Right

Whether you're styling graphic tees for women or men, some basic styling essentials pretty much apply universally. To find oversized tees that fit, look for slightly dropped shoulder seams — like you see on this Pro Standard Men's Charlotte Hornets Drop Shoulder Tee — and a relaxed fit that flows to about mid-thigh length. Balance the volume up top with slim or tapered pants. 

 

And don't sell yourself short on material or build quality. Look for comfortable, high-quality fabrics like cotton or tri-blends. Keep an eye out for neat stitching to ensure you're getting a tee primed for longevity.

 

Finally, think about design styles that work with your shoe choices. Oversized tees are classic streetwear looks with iconic sneakers like Jordans and adidas, but aim for shirts that pick up colors from your shoes and avoid designs that are too busy or clash with your kicks.

Pairing Tees with Jordans, Dunks & More

When it comes to styling your outfit with a classic sneaker silhouette, choose a neutral shirt for a minimalist look. Pair adidas Campus 00s with a monochrome or muted print on a Jordan Men's Air Graphic Tee.

 

Or, go for a tee that matches the colors in your shoes. Got some red in those Jordan 1 Retro High OGs? Pair them with a red-accented graphic tee or even a red shirt like this Smoke Rise Men's Wide Crop Eagle Tee - Red.

 

For a streetwear icon like Nike Dunk Lows, pick a chunky vintage pixel-art tee or a bold, blocky print like on this Jordan Big Girls' 23 Tee - Pink.
