Iconic Sneakers Seen in Hollywood

They dine at the Chateau Marmont, sip sake at Nobu and stroll down Sunset. Yes, we’re talking about the rich and famous (and infamous), who are all prime candidates for the paparazzi.

But whether they’re going makeup-free or all glammed-up, their sneakers are always ready for a closeup. Here are five iconic celeb-approved sneakers seen gracing some of the most famous feet in the world.

adidas Superstars

Nothing is more fitting for a celeb than a pair of the legendary adidas Originals Superstars. The Kardashian-Jenner clan rocks the look with form-fitting, above-the-knee dresses in white or black, oversized sunnies and designer bags. Gigi Hadid, Katie Holmes and Dakota Fanning are also fans. Baggy jeans, a white tee, snapback hat and plenty of bling complement tastemaker and hitmaker Jay-Z’s Superstars.

Vans Ward

Aside from being tabloid darlings, Gwen Stefani, Justin Bieber and Kristen Stewart all have one thing in common: their effortless style and love of Vans Wards. Whether photographed on the red carpet or walking their dogs, tons of celebs dig the skater vibe of this low cut sneaker.

New Balance 990

New Balance sometimes gets the rap of being total dad shoes. Here’s the thing about dads, though: They’ve been around long enough to know a thing or two about comfort and reliability. Hot mama Kourtney Kardashian recently posted an Insta pic while wearing a baggy sweatshirt, sweatpants and a pair of New Balance 990s. (Of course, she was strolling her Pomeranian in a pink pram for that dose of super-extra.) Actress Emma Roberts styles her grey New Balance sneakers with capri-length culottes and a boxy cropped tee. And style icon Reese Witherspoon loves a good pair of New Balances, pairing them with athletic shorts and a comfy cotton shirt. Hey, if they’re good enough for a Jonas Brother or Pharrell Williams, they belong on this list.

Nike Cortez

Nike’s co-founder Bill Bowerman designed the Cortez running shoe — the brand’s OG running sneaker — that gave Nike its global fame in the running realm. With an upper that comes in nylon, leather or suede and a classic herringbone outsole, the retro-style shoe gets plenty of press. Kendrick Lamar rocked his white Cortez kicks with black jeans, a black jacket and graphic button-down for the 2017 MTV Music Awards, and the rapper is frequently seen sporting the shoe. Bella Hadid has styled the white version of the sneakers with a white cropped hoodie, white jeans and retro sunnies. Other talked-about stars that love Nike’s classic shoe include Kaia Gerber, Kate Mara and Drake.

Converse All-Stars

Looking for some superstars who call themselves fans of the All-Stars? There’s a long list of them. Rihanna styled the black high tops with a strapless bra-style top and blush-colored pleated skirt. Beyoncé rolls up her jeans and pairs her Chucks with a classic white tee. Michelle Obama elevates her gingham dress with the low cut white All-Stars. And LeBron James brings his A-game in brightly colored Chucks, a tailored black jacket over a white button-down dress shirt and slim-fit cropped pants. Everyone looks good in these iconic shoes.
