THE EDIT

LOVELY LAYERS

Nike Air Force 1 Shadow ($120), Nike, nike.com Bold and beautiful, the Nike Air Force 1 Shadow elevates the coveted AF1 silhouette (literally) with an exaggerated, lifted sole and doubled design elements for a playful shadow effect. Ridiculously comfortable and easy to style, these are a must. —Abigail Duffy, web editor

THE EDIT Cool KICKS

PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD IN OUR EDITORS’ FAVORITE SNEAKERS

By Melissa Puppo

NO SCHOOL LIKE THE OLD SKOOL

Chunky Glitter Old Skool ($75), Vans, vans.com When I need a little shimmer in my step (but the occasion isn’t high-heel-friendly), I always opt for these Vans. The original side-stripe skater shoe looks even better with a bit of bling, and this neutral metallic goes with everything in my closet—from daytime to dress-up. —Kristen Desmond LeFevre, editor in chief

PLAY TIME

Multi Heart low-top canvas sneakers ($150), Comme des Garçons Play x Converse, saksfifthavenue.com My longtime favorite kicks are the result of an all-star collab between two iconic brands—the minimalist chic of Comme des Garçons combined with the classic street style of Converse Chuck Taylors. Sporting the heart logos never gets old. Pro tip: They run large, so order one size down. —Allison Wolfe Reckson, contributing editor

SAKS.COM

FLY AWAY HOME

The Cardinal sneakers ($140 each), Birdies, birdies.com For the ultimate marriage of style and comfort, you can’t beat Birdies—a shoe company founded by two moms who wanted a chic alternative to house slippers. Their collection now includes everything from slides to flats to sneakers like this brand-new Cardinal design. —Mary Murray, executive editor

ECO-CHIC

Campo metallic low-top sneakers ($145), Veja, saksfifthavenue.com My go-to sneaker this season is the Veja Campo in metallic silver. I’m a huge fan of this brand’s sustainable styles (and they also happen to be a fashion cult favorite). The metallic silver allows me to style up with day dresses or style down with leggings and jeans. —Katherine Lande, fashion editor

TIMELESS CLASSIC

Superstar Shoe ($95), Adidas, adidas.com When it comes to playing (sneaker) favorites, I always opt for Adidas. This signature black-andwhite pair never goes out of style and has become a street wear staple in my wardrobe. —Melissa Puppo, managing editor
