Keeping up with the latest It sneaker style can be quite the task, especially since celebrities are not often seen in casual footwear. As a trend-watching editor, I've been on the lookout and have just found the newest must-have sneaker for 2024: Nike's V2K Run Sneakers.
Despite the ongoing popularity of Gazelles and Sambas, a fresh style has emerged and garnered approval from the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Kaia Gerber. These two celebrities have ditched their low-profile retro sneakers for the incredibly sporty Nike V2K. Recently, Lawrence was spotted in NYC sporting the white and silver colorway while running errands in the West Village. She paired them with a laid-back outfit featuring a wide-brimmed hat, gray sweatpants, a white T-shirt, and an oversize St. Agni shoulder bag. A few months prior, Gerber was seen in the same pair, styling them with Nike tube socks, a long black coat, and workout leggings.
On Jennifer Lawrence: Nike V2K Run Sneakers ($120); Luv Lou The Poppy Sunglasses ($160); St. Agni Oversized Nubuck Satchel ($405); The Row Sofia Bucket Hat ($390); Goldie Tees Organic Girlfriend Tee ($85)
Touted as running sneakers, the Nike V2K is a supportive silhouette that debuted in the fall of 2023. It boasts a substantial foam midsole for a comfortable ride, a breathable mesh upper, and high-shine panels reminiscent of the classic Nike Vomero 5s. The sneakers exude a strong 2000s vibe, affirming that fashion aficionados still harbor a fondness for chunky shoes, particularly chunky "dad" sneakers.
On Kaia Gerber: The Row Devitt Coat ($5450); Alo High-Waist Airlift Leggings ($128); Nike Performance Socks ($28)
This silhouette effortlessly complements leggings and trousers and is ideal for those who prioritize comfort, style, and affordability. Thus, I am confident that this style is *it* for 2024.
