It's Official: This Is the Top Sneaker Trend to Pair with Leggings This Summer.
What do Dakota Johnson, Jennifer Lopez, and Kaia Gerber share in common? Aside from their fame and wealth, they have a similar preference for sneakers. A recent instance of this was Dakota Johnson's outfit in NYC this week, which included a blue sweatshirt, black leggings, a Gucci tote, white crew socks, and a black baseball cap. The footwear she chose was sporty Nike sneakers, which I've noticed frequently paired with leggings.
Nike sneakers have remained a staple for years. Recently, however, the sneaker trend has shifted towards retro '70s-inspired designs rather than classic athletic styles. But with Dakota Johnson's endorsement—known for her impeccable style—and the recent sightings of Nike sneakers on Lopez and Gerber, it seems to be more than just a coincidence.
In terms of trending Nike styles, Johnson has been seen in V2K Run sneakers, along with the Air Pegasus 2005, Vomero 5 (and Zoom Vomero 5), and P-6000, among others. These can easily be styled for both casual streetwear and the gym, unlike some other recent sneaker trends. If you're interested in the resurgence of traditional Nike sneakers, keep scrolling to see how Johnson, Lopez, and Gerber sport them, and check out some popular pairs for yourself.
