Dressing like a celebrity used to require membership in a high tax bracket. That's not the case in 2025, at the height of a trendy (and affordable) sneaker boom. In fact, plenty of Hollywood has been wearing under-$150 Nike sneakers as of late, making my shoe-obsessed heart soar.
Scroll on Instagram for more than five minutes, and you'll run into a photo of the latest Jennifer Lawrence and Kaia Gerber-approved sneakers, aka the Nike V2Ks. But their love for the classic swoosh goes back further than that. Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner, and Katie Holmes have all modeled Nike's original white sneakers like the Cortezes and Air Force 1s over the years. And if you needed any additional trendy affordable sneaker inspiration, just turn to Jennifer Lopez and her favorite athleisure brand: Even when J.Lo's hitting the gym with Chanel bags and luxury workout gear, she's tapping Nike to complete her look.
