Copy Joanna Gaines's laid-back chic with the Converse All-Stars she wears on repeat
It's a dilemma as old as time: When we're shoe shopping, we want something comfortable, fashionable, classic yet trendy — and versatile enough to wear with jeans, dresses and everything in between. Is that too much to ask for? Few shoes can meet those high standards, but the classic Converse All-Stars have been delivering on them for decades. Right now we are taking a cue from Joanna Gaines, who's been rocking the comfy kicks on repeat over the last few months. She wore a high-top pair while reading her new book, The World Needs the Wonder You See, to kids in their classroom, and she sported a low-top style while shooting the fall 2024 cover of her magazine, Magnolia Journal.
In a world where brands come and go and trends are here one day and gone the next, it's pretty remarkable that Converse's iconic All-Star sneakers have been around for over 100 years. Originally designed as a basketball shoe, All-Stars have since become an everyday lifestyle sneaker that works for casual office days, weekend errands, and everything in between.
Another reason these kicks have such staying power? They're priced just right. Not everyone wants to drop $100+ on a pair of walking shoes, and All-Stars complement far more outfits than a typical athletic shoe. Both the low-tops and high-tops pair effortlessly with leggings, jeans, skirts, and dresses.
If you're ready to give these classic sneakers a try or need to replace a well-loved pair, Amazon has lots of color and size options, some of which are on sale. See what's up for grabs below.
