Hailey Bieber & Kaia Gerber Wear This Ultra Versatile Sneaker Nonstop
It’s so nostalgic and familiar.
New Balance sneakers have resurged in popularity thanks to the return of the dad look and normcore. In fact, the brand has successfully taken over the sneaker game with new drops that warrant long lines and instant sell-outs. (Its collab portfolio includes four consecutive collaborations with STAUD, as well as other It girl-beloved brands like Reformation and Casablanca.) The brand has now become a celeb-favorite, too, with everyone from Kaia Gerber to Hailey Bieber offering a lesson in how to style New Balance women’s sneakers.
There are a few different styles that are trendy. First up is New Balance’s iconic 99X series, which is packed with history (like being Steve Jobs’ go-to) and hits the dad shoe trend with a less retro and more modern feel while still paying homage to its roots. The 99X lineage began in ‘82 with the 990 sneaker, which at the time was a big deal. It was the first-ever sneaker priced at $100 (oh, how times have changed). The latest silhouette to sweep the crowd of trendy dressers is the fifth-generation 990 model, in a new monotone colorway that combines grey suede and silver mesh for a sporty yet casual aesthetic. The versatile sneaker was an instant hit.
