Keeping up with the latest It sneaker style can be quite the task, especially since celebrities are not often seen in casual footwear. However, as a trend-watching editor, I’ve been on the lookout and have just found the newest must-have sneaker for 2024: Nike’s V2K Run Sneaker.

Despite the ongoing popularity of Gazelles and Sambas, a fresh style has emerged and garnered approval from the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Kaia Gerber. These two celebrities have ditched their low-profile retro sneakers for the incredibly sporty Nike V2K. Recently, Lawrence was spotted in NYC sporting the white and silver colorway while running errands in the West Village. She paired them with a laid-back outfit featuring a wide-brimmed hat, gray sweatpants, a white T-shirt, and an oversized St. Agni shoulder bag. A few months prior, Gerber was seen in the same pair, styling them with Nike tube socks, a long black coat, and workout leggings.

Touted as a running sneaker, the Nike V2K is a supportive silhouette that debuted in the fall of 2023. It boasts a substantial foam midsole for a comfortable ride, a breathable mesh upper, and high-shine panels reminiscent of the classic Nike Vomero 5s. The sneaker exudes a strong 2000s vibe, affirming that fashion aficionados still harbor a fondness for chunky shoes, particularly chunky “dad” sneakers.
