With each year, a new It sneaker is 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧. Memorable history has included Vans’ Checkerboard Slip-Ons, Adidas Superstars, Nike Air Force 1s, and, most recently, the Adidas Sambas. Interest around the latter has begun to wane, after an absolute saturation of the footwear market in 2022, and now, stylistas are looking to crown a new must-have style.
If the feet of Kaia Gerber, Jennifer Lawrence, and Kendall Jenner are any indicator (they are), Nike is about to hit it big with yet another athletic shoe. Jenner is just the latest to sport Nike’s V2K Run Sneaker, a dad-style running shoe with a mesh outer and the classic swoosh logo.
Even among dozens of other colors (emerald green, 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 blue, classic black, etc.), the three stars favor one pair, in particular. Leaning into the “dadcore” of it all, the style features a simple white exterior with metallic silver ᵴtriƥes.
Photographed on August 10, Jenner was photographed running errands in Beverly Hills. She took a note directly out of Gerber’s book, wearing her Nikes with black leggings, a heather gray zip-up hoodie, and tall white tube socks.
Both models accessorized with ’90s-inspired black sunglasses and tote bags—Jenner’s in black leather and Gerber’s in canvas. The look was a modern-day take on Meredith Blake’s iconic workout aesthetic.
