Beyoncé and Jay Z, Mary-Kate and Ashley, peanut butter and jelly… Some things are just better when they come in pairs—jeans and sneakers included. There’s arguably no other combo that’s as timeless, but celebrities always manage to put fresh spins on jeans and sneakers. Hailey Baldwin, for instance, is a proponent of the super-baggy denim trend (which Jennifer Lopez is also a fan of) paired with Nike Air Force 1 Sneakers ($100)—an outfit combo that’s ripe for copying.
On the other hand, the likes of Meghan Markle and Ashley Graham are carrying the flag for skinny jeans. Markle wore hers with another Hollywood-favorite pair of sneakers (with a vegan, sustainable twist): Adidas Stan Smiths designed by Stella McCartney. Graham also loves designer sneaks, as evidenced by the sleek Common Projects trainers she owns. Scroll down to shop the six classic sneakers celebrities always wear with jeans.
On Kendall Jenner: Paris Georgia Bella Bra ($225); Nike Air Force 1 Sneakers ($90); By Far Rachel Bag ($364). Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Serena Williams are just some of the celebrity fans of the perennially classic Nike Air Force 1 Sneakers, which have been around since the ’80s. What’s old is new again.
