Everyone needs at least one (or five) pairs of casual, everyday sneakers to sport around. Whether going out to dinner or running some errands, shoes like this are fabulous for their versatility and simple style. Having a tough time choosing which brand you want to try out next? Let this celeb inspo help you out! Here are 4 affordable sneaker brands even celebs wear:

 

1. Superga

As far as we’re concerned, Supergas are an essential to any and every outfit in our closets. Dress them up or dress them down, this brand is our fave for simple yet chic sneakers. They have styles ranging from their classic low top sneakers to their famous platform sneakers, high-tops, and even slip-ons in a combination of simple colors and fabrics for practical purposes, or crazy patterns and leather for something a little more spicy! And they’re Hailey Bieber-approved!

 

2. Converse

Arguably one of the most timeless sneakers out there, the classic high-top Converse has been popular since the '80s when they gained the reputation of being the “it” retro-style shoe. The athletic yet casual sneaker was a favorite amongst many athletes, musicians, and artists, until they slowly seeped their way into popular culture. Today, fashion models and middle-schoolers alike sport the shoe out and about because, well, you just can’t go wrong with it! Pair them with a mini-dress or rock them with some bootcut jeans! Or, pull a Kaia Gerber and wear them with some nice pleated pants and a crop-top while out grabbing coffee with your dog.

 

3. Puma

Puma has been on the rise in recent years and is a frequent choice of many celebrities like Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, Bella Hadid, and Camilla Cabello for their edgy designs. The brand has mastered the art of sneakers ranging from suede to sleek, chunky to athletic – and they’ve proven their worth in the overwhelming realm of white, practical sneakers to choose from. And you know they’re good ones if Florence Pugh wears them! Pumas with overalls, who would’ve thought?

 

4. Vans

Vans always come in clutch for being durable and stylish for a price you simply just can’t beat. It’s hard to flip over a magazine page or swipe on an Instagram post without seeing somebody strutting around in these popular sneakers. Their old skool vans initially debuted in 1977 but were majorly revived a few years back. They’re eye-catching and unique against the sneaker competition for their individual squiggle design along the sides. I mean, obviously, if Zendaya loves them, we should love them too!
