So I saw those pics everywhere last month, right? Hailey Bieber always looks crazy good just walking around, jeans and a tee, perfect sneakers. Kept popping into my feed. Got me thinking… what sneakers does she actually wear all the time? Like, which ones are the real deal? Decided to try figuring it out myself instead of just reading some list.
The Research Phase (Basically Me Scrolling & Squinting)
First thing I did was pretty simple: I just started trawling through paparazzi shots and her own IG feed. Like, properly looking, not just mindless scrolling. You know how it is – sometimes you see a cool fit, but you gotta zoom in real close on those feet. Took me ages. Started spotting the same types popping up again and again.
Here’s what my notes looked like (super messy):
- Okay, those chunky white ones… definitely see those a lot. Adidas Samba? Looks like it.
- Oh! Black and whites, super classic. Gotta be New Balance, maybe the 550s? Seen her wearing those loads.
- Weirdly cool grey ones with like, a blue box logo? Yeah, Asics Gel-NYC popped up a few times. Recognized the shape.
- And that one pic everyone reposted – bright white leather low-tops. Cleanest AF1s ever. Obvious choice.
- Then there’s those slightly bulkier ones, off-white suede. Saw them paired with baggy cargos. Veja Campos, maybe? Looked similar.
- Kept seeing this comfy-looking pair, like retro runners, grey mesh. Took a hot minute, but figured it out: Nike Waffle Debut. Spot on.
Putting It All Together & Double-Checking
Armed with my little list, I went digging a bit deeper. I mean, how sure was I? Cross-referenced with some celeb style sites (yeah yeah, I gave in a bit) just to see if I matched their picks. Mostly did! Felt kinda chuffed.
The Core Six Winners:
- Adidas Samba: The undisputed king. White, green stripe. On her feet CONSTANTLY.
- New Balance 550: Mostly the black/white leather ones. Timeless vibe.
- Asics Gel-NYC: Really digging this one lately. Grey/blue combo is fire.
- Nike Air Force 1 Low: Crispy white leather. Can’t go wrong.
- Veja Campo: That off-white suede. Less common than the others but killer.
- Nike Waffle Debut: Grey mesh, super comfy looking everyday sneaker.
The “Testing” Part (Well, Sort Of…)
Okay, confession time: I don’t own a pair exactly like hers… yet. BUT! I do have a pair of classic white Sambas stashed in the back of my closet (got them ages ago!). Pulled those bad boys out and styled them similar to how she does – straight-leg jeans, simple tee, maybe a trucker jacket. Felt instantly cooler, more put-together without trying too hard. It actually kinda worked? Might have to hunt down those 550s next… This whole project was way more fun than just googling ‘celebrity sneakers’! Makes you actually pay attention to style details.
