The $90 Sneakers Celebrities Have Unanimously Loved for Years
Here at Who What Wear, we pay pretty close attention to what celebrities are up to—specifically, the clothing and accessories they're wearing. As fashion editors, identifying celebrities' wardrobes is part of the job at hand, but when that also happens to involve on-trend and affordable items, we nearly lose it. See: the perfect (and under-$200) dresses all over their Instagrams right now.
We've noticed another trend in celebrity style: It girls everywhere are longtime fans of Nike's Air Force 1 sneakers. Even girls like Bella Hadid, who are regularly seen wearing the latest designer sneaker drops, always returns to this retro pair. And it's not just Bella either. Dua Lipa, Sofia Richie, Kaia Gerber—the list goes on—all wear theirs constantly. Whether with flirty dresses or high-waisted jeans, these girls are quickly making us want a pair of our own. The classic pairs come in at just under $100, and they're pretty much immune to passing sneaker trends, so I'd say they're a worthy purchase.
Ahead, get inspired by all the celeb outfits with Nike Air Force 1s, and then shop the sneakers in a colorway you adore.
