All sneakerheads can agree that you should at least have one pair of designer kicks in their collection. While an expensive price tag isn't the end-all-be-all determining factor in whether a shoe is worth the splurge, designer brands have come up with stylish sneaks that are worth swooning over. But knowing this, we can't settle on a brand name alone when it comes to deciding what pair of footwear to purchase. Important factors such as the versatility of its style as well as how comfy they are should also be taken into consideration. After all, what’s the point in splurging on such an expensive pair if you won’t get the most bang out for your buck?
We asked several sneaker-loving celebs and influencers to reveal their most investment-worthy pairs of designer sneaks, and, unsurprisingly, they went with a pair that was a breeze to walk in. Check out their answers below!
Local Celebs and Influencers Share Their Favorite Designer Sneakers
1. Camille Co-Koro
“My Chanel sneakers. I chose an all-white pair so they’re not screaming CHANEL and gives off a subtle sophistication. I also love its shape—not too small but also not too bulky. Just right.”
2. Julie Anne San Jose
“I have a pair of these [Gucci sneakers].”
3. Kim Cruz
“For me, the Dior B23 Lows would be my favorite pair of designer sneakers. It’s so easy to wear with any outfit plus it’s a classic.”
4. Patricia Prieto
“My favorite pair would have to be my Sacai x Nike Blazer Mid sneakers. Not only are they comfy but they look so freakin’ cool, too! I’ve been using them during my trip and I can walk in them all day. Totally worth the splurge!”
5. Rhea Bue
“My Air Jordan 4 x Off White Sail sneakers. This pair is one of my best purchase/splurge. [I] really waited for this at Nike.com but I got an L so I ended up buying them from a reseller. And up until now, I still use this pair and it’s so easy to style with any outfit! Goes from my baddie ‘fits to super basic ones. Oh, and I even wore it on my wedding day!
