How To Style This Spring’s “It” Sneaker
Every season has its iconic shoe, from sandals to cowboy boots and everything in between. But the shoe receiving the most attention this spring isn’t what you’d expect.
Most influencers and fashion girlies are swapping their neutral aesthetics for bright, colorful outfits this season, which directly translates to a unique sneaker that elevates any outfit. The Adidas Samba sneaker is technically a soccer shoe, but it’s also a fun way to add color and interest to your most basic outfits. The Samba sneaker is the happy middle ground between the affordable Converse High Top and the pricey Veja sneakers from last year, especially because you will wear this shoe on repeat throughout the year.

Adidas Samba OG Shoes, $100
If you can’t get your hands on the Sambas, there are several alternatives that look similar and have the same effect on your outfit. The Adidas Gazelles are just as slim and vibrant as the original soccer shoe and have a similar price tag. For a more affordable version, the Adidas VL Court sneaker will only cost you about $60-80 for the same iconic design.
