As the go-to fashion person in my friend group, It's not uncommon for my friends to lean on me for a range of fashion, shopping, and styling advice. Pinpointing the perfect closet staples, highlighting affordable basics, and even giving them retailer-specific advice—I've done it all. The most recent inquiry from a friend was to recommend the best sneakers on the internet, so I did just that.
I took to some of my favorite retailers to fulfill this ask, including Shopbop, Nordstrom, and StockX. I dug through the virtual aisles of these sites, and I was able to handpick high-quality sneakers that would make my friends and anyone else excited. Keep scrolling to uncover my list of the best sneakers online. Maybe a new favorite pair of trainers awaits you.
