Natalie Portman's $160 Chunky Hoka Sneakers Are Worthy Competition for Dakota Johnson's Favorite Pair

Natalie Portman wore black Hoka sneakers with jean shorts in NYC.

It appears Natalie Portman has slimmed down her sneaker collection. In the early 2020s, she frequently rotated between Adidas Stan Smiths, Asics 27s, and Nike Airs. But in recent years, she's only worn trainers a handful of times. Now, on the off chance she laces up, the Oscar winner prefers pairs from Veja, Dior, and most recently, Hoka.

On June 29, Portman made the most of New York City's 90° weather with a stroll through SoHo. The Black Swan star stood out alongside her friends in the ultimate summer uniform: denim shorts and sneakers. Her Hoka Clifton 9s conformed to the resurgent chunky sneaker trend co-signed by Dakota Johnson, Jennifer Lawrence, and Kaia Gerber.
