As basically the most in-demand model there is right now, Kaia Gerber is currently jet setting around the world to walk runway after runway, so it's understandable that she wants a little comfort in between the towering heels she has to wear for the shows. Upon arrival in Milan this week, Gerber's airport outfit was in perfect keeping with what she typically wears during her off-duty time: a chic coat, baggy jeans, and sneakers. While it may not be particularly noteworthy that she's wearing sneakers, it is that she's wearing the It sneaker brand that everyone in the fashion crowd and beyond wants right now: New Balance.
New Balance sneakers have obviously been around for ages, but there's a newfound interest in them as of late. They're the perfect blend of the dad and retro sneaker trends, and they're classic enough to not feel like you're trying too hard to be "trendy." While Gerber's might not be the cheapest New Balance sneakers on the market, they're still under $200, and there are plenty of cool sneakers from the brand that are far less.
Keep scrolling to shop the best New Balance sneakers, and see how people are wearing them on Instagram.
