Nike Sprint Sister Women's Shoes
These are where sporty meets feminine. I love the satin finish, soft metallic color and Mary Jane inspired silhouette, it feels chic without being overly dressy. I’d wear them with dresses and skirts for an unexpected sporty touch, or with a form-fit...

adidas Originals Tokyo Mary Jane - Women's
The color combination is what got me with these. That deep copper red with the vanilla details feels rich, unexpected and a little retro. I’d wear them with an all neutral outfit and let them be the pop of color. This is the kind of sneaker you build...
LOEWE Ballet Runner 2.0 Leather Low-Top Sneakers
Golden Goose sneakers are meant to look a little lived-in, and I love that contrast with a more polished outfit. I’d wear these with straight-leg jeans, a white tee and blazer, or with a long silk skirt and simple crewneck. The gold star adds just en...
Women's Super-Star Low Top Sneakers
I love a Jordan 1 that has a little something extra. The brown, cream and tan make these so easy to style, while the red sole gives them just enough pop. They’d look great with denim, cargos or relaxed pants, and the “Much Love and Respect” detail ma...

This is the kind of sneaker that instantly dresses up athleisure. The gold and cream give it a more polished look and can take a simple sweatshirt with leggings or yoga pants from basic to put together. Sporty, comfortable and an easy way to make a c...
Nike Zoom Vomero 5 - Women's
The beauty of these is how slim and understated they are. I’d wear them all the time because they make even a simple outfit feel special. The neutral suede makes them feel more like a fashion shoe than an athletic sneaker.

PUMA Speedcat OG - Women's
In the spirit of finding something that doesn’t look like everything else, these are it. The deep blue suede can really dress up a casual outfit. I’d wear them with dark denim, a denim skirt or even a denim jacket paired with crisp white pieces to pu...
Maison Margiela Suede & Leather Low-Top Sneakers
I’m usually not drawn to running shoes for everyday outfits, but these are different. The On x FP Movement collab has that chunky Cloudmonster shape with soft neutral colors that make them feel much more fashion-forward. I’d wear these with leggings ...
On x FP Movement Cloudmonster 3 Sneakers
Leopard print is basically a neutral in my book. These are perfect when a simple outfit needs a little personality without doing too much. I’d wear them with all black, a denim skirt, or a simple hoodie and jeans. The print does all the work and make...
Vans Old Skool Leopard - Women's
love a sneaker that looks more like a fashion piece than an athletic shoe. The metallic gold finish and burgundy laces are such an unexpected combination. I’d wear these with wide-leg trousers, dark denim, or a simple black outfit and let the sneaker...

Foot Locker is one of my go-to spots because there are so many brands under one roof. I can go in looking for Nike and end up leaving with a pair of New Balance, adidas or PUMAs. Sometimes I go in with one sneaker in mind and something completely dif...
