The 8 pairs of Nike sneakers you can wear with everything

Athleisure fashion couldn’t be more in than it is right now. With very few reasons to get dressed up, sweatpants have become the look de jour as most of us swap out jeans for jersey. But when it comes to athleisure staples, none come close to the ultimate failsafe item: sneakers.

Practical, comfy and now thanks to the rise of streetwear - super cool, they’re a wardrobe staple. Whether you're wearing a sundress, slouchy jeans, or a midi skirt, there is a sneaker style begging to enhance your outfit.

So if you’re in need of a new pair, or simply just wanting to up your game, we’ve put together a guide to the 8 pairs of Nike sneakers you need in your closet.

Nike Vapormax

After seven years in the making, Nike launched one of its most innovative designs yet: The Vapormax. Made to feel like you’re walking on air, these sneakers are defined by their bubbled lug sole that creates bouncy movement as you take off and land. With a lightweight Flyknit construction, they’re perfect for summer months and look just as cool paired with midi skirts and dresses as they do with leggings when hitting the track.

Nike Air Force 1

Nike’s Air Force 1 sneakers have been unanimously loved for years, citing everyone from Bella Hadid to Dua Lipa as fans. Forever a cool classic they have a compact and clean shape with chunky soles. Pair them with everything from boxy blazers and tailored pants to puff-sleeve maxi dresses and floral skirts.

Nike Blazer Mid

Taking inspiration from the design and silhouettes of 70s basketball shoes, Nike's Blazer mid-tops have a reputation that means they’ll always remain on-trend. Choose a white pair for a cool minimalist look, letting the brightly coloured Swooshes stand out.

Nike Classic Cortez

Nike’s Cortez sneaker is a forever classic. It may have started its life in your teenage wardrobe, but now it’s reached a new elevation as the fashion girl’s go-to white sneaker of choice. A seasonless investment, they’ll easily see you through from work to weekend.

NIKE air max 97

If you’re still enamoured with the chunky sneaker trend, then look no further than Nike’s Air Max 97. These sneakers have been a cult classic for almost two decades and it's easy to see why. With all the signature details still intact, they’re set on chunky bubble soles and feature reflective piping originally inspired by Japanese bullet trains, giving them a cool, futuristic look.

Nike Air Max 90

These Air Max 90 sneakers have an instantly recognizable design, thanks to the chunky silhouette and innovative underfoot technology. With all the original details still intact, they’re finished with cool rubber accents. Show them off both on or off the track.

Nike Air Max 2090

Nike often taps into its archives for inspiration - these Air Max 2090 sneakers are modelled after the original 90s style. We love its cool details, check out the clear ripstop panelling, faux-leather and mesh construction and colourful pull tab.

Nike React Vision

Nike's React Vision sneakers are made from panels of colourful mesh, felt and faux leather and set on chunky rubber soles. A cool, 90s style, they’re detailed with the trademark Swoosh at the sides and come with a contrasting pull-tab on the tongue that reads 'D/MS/X' - the letters stand for 'Dimension Six,' which was the name that founder Phil Knight almost gave the brand. Wear them with everything from track pants to skirts.
