When back-to-school season rolls around, so does the realization that you’ve been needing a new pair of go-to sneakers. We’re here to help refresh your kicks closet so you can stay ahead of the (shoe) game this year.

New Balance 530

If you’re looking for comfy sneaks, when look no further! The New Balance 530s are iconic (and perpetually trending) for a reason. Wear them with a crewneck, athletic shorts and scrunched socks for an effortless vibe.

Adidas Samba

Adidas Sambas are *the* back-to-school essentials that’ll never go out of style. The best part? You can choose from endless colorways–keep it classic with white, black or navy blue or snag one in silver, cherry red or leopard print for extra charm. 

Asics Gel 1130

Sporty kicks aren’t just for the gym–they’re for the classroom, too. Asics experimented by adding a touch of retro silver to your classic running shoes, and tbh, the results speak for themselves. Use them for your P.E. mile or wear them with leggings and long socks for a sporty moment.

Ugg Tasman

Rushing out of the house with your breakfast in hand? If convenience were a shoe, the Ugg Tasman would be it. These slip-ons maximize comfort without sacrificing style. Just make sure to keep them out of the rain (shrunken suede is *not* the vibe). Pair them with a sweatshirt and sweatpants or dress them up with a sweater + leggings combo.

Adidas Campus 00s

You can never go wrong with classic Adidas, and with the Campus 00s, they made sure to go bigger and better. These are the perfect chunky shoes with plenty of cushioning. Psst:  The fun colorways are perfect for those sandwich method outfits.
