Jennifer Garner’s Fresh Take on Neutral Sneakers Is a Great Reminder That Basic Doesn’t Have to Be Boring

When it comes to shoes, it’s hard to get more classic than a pair of bright white sneakers — they’ll go with just about any outfit. 

But even the old faithfuls can get a bit tired (not to mention, easily dirtied) at times, which might be why Jennifer Garner recently gave hers a break in favor of some neutral color block sneakers. The star was spotted strolling through Los Angeles wearing what appears to be the Loewe Flow Retro Runner Sneakers, which she styled casually with jeans and a mauve tee. 

Her kicks cost $790, but luckily, there are plenty of other brands that make retro sneakers like Garner’s for much less. We did some digging and found a few winners for your perusing, and prices start at $40. 

Color Block Sneakers Inspired by Jennifer Garner

Somiliss Genuine Leather Suede Patchwork Sneakers, $47 (Save 20%)

Like Garner’s pick, these sneakers are constructed with genuine suede leather and have a statement rubber gummy sole. A breathable sardine cloth upper prevents sweaty feet by allowing for air circulation, and that sole is lifted by a 1.5-inch heel, which not only gives the wearer a bit of height, but fits into the ongoing chunky shoe trend.

Veja V-10 Leather Sneaker, $140 (Save 20%)

A more affordable brand of sneakers that Garner and other celebs, like Laura Dern, wear often is Veja — and there’s a sneaker similar to her higher-end pair that’s 20 percent off now. These V-10s are color blocked with white and pierre beige leather, and they have a cushioned footbed and a bit of a platform that makes them stand out as not-your-average sporty running shoes. 

Soludos Paradiso Retro Sneakers, $54 (Save 58%)

A telling trait of Garner’s Loewe sneakers are their round toes — and these Soludos are a strikingly similar shape. The construction is a mix of both leather and soft textile, and they have a removable interior liner. They’re also available in other colors, like blue and wine, which are worth adding to the rotation for when you’re feeling bold.
