These days, the coolest sneakers aren’t always made by athletic brands. Lots of high-end designers have jumped into the sneaker market, and celebrities are fully embracing it.
French fashion houses Dior and Céline have created popular styles. Rihanna is a fan of Dior’s embellished Fusion sneakers, which she’s worn in multiple colorways. Kendall and Kylie Jenner and their mom Kris Jenner have been seen wearing Céline’s slip-on sneakers in both black and white, which retail for more than $770. Alexander McQueen’s laceup sneakers with an oversized sole retail for $575 and count Elle Fanning and Alicia Vikander as fans.
Brands such as Versace and Giuseppe Zanotti offer flashier styles. At the American Music Awards, Frankie Grande wore a pair of Versace’s high-top sneakers with the brand’s Medusa-head logo in gold on the oversized tongue. Several performing artists look to Zanotti for on-stage shoes that are bold yet comfortable. Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez and Madonna have worn the designer’s wedge sneakers.
