I Went Shopping for Sneakers on a $150 Budget—29 Pairs Too Good Not to Share

Although I can try to convince everyone I'm a heel gal, deep in my heart, I know it's a lie. True Life: I own way too many pairs of sneakers. After turning over my closet for the summer last weekend, my new total of sneakers post-donation is a whopping 18 pairs. Sorry!
As someone with a slight sneaker obsession, I know it's in my best interest to keep my purchases in the affordable category. While the majority of die-hard sneakerheads will try to convince you that you need an incredibly hyped, ultra-expensive pair of sneakers, here's the hard truth: Some of the best finds are way under $150.
Below, shop 29 of the best affordable sneakers on the internet right now, including cult-classic brands and celeb-approved soles.
