Beyoncé and Jay Z, Mary-Kate and Ashley, peanut butter and jelly… Some things are just better when they come in pairs—jeans and sneakers included. There's arguably no other combo that's as timeless, but celebrities always manage to put fresh spins on jeans and sneakers. Hailey Baldwin, for instance, is a proponent of the super-baggy denim trend (which Jennifer Lopez is also a fan of) paired with Nike Air Force 1 Sneakers ($100)—an outfit combo that's ripe for copying.
On the other hand, the likes of Meghan Markle and Ashley Graham are carrying the flag for skinny jeans. Markle wore hers with another Hollywood-favorite pair of sneakers (with a vegan, sustainable twist): Adidas Stan Smiths designed by Stella McCartney. Graham also loves designer sneaks, as evidenced by the sleek Common Projects trainers she owns. Scroll down to shop the six classic sneakers celebrities always wear with jeans.
Nike Air Force 1
On Kendall Jenner: Paris Georgia Bella Bra ($225); Nike Air Force 1 Sneakers ($90); By Far Rachel Bag ($364)
Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Serena Williams are just some of the celebrity fans of the perennially classic Nike Air Force 1 Sneakers, which have been around since the '80s. What's old is new again.

Adidas Stan Smith

If you love Adidas Stan Smiths, you can buy the OG versions or invest in a designer option. None other than Stella McCartney has designed vegan Stan Smiths, which Meghan Markle wore last year.

Nike Cortez
On Emily Ratajkowski: Levi's 501 Skinny Jeans in In the Clouds ($98); Nike Classic Cortez Sneakers ($70)
I love the Nike Cortez sneakers for their super-sleek silhouette and '70s vibes.

Nike Air Jordan
On Rihanna: Emma Brewin hat; Raf Simons jacket; Fenty sunglasses
Leave it to Rihanna to make everyone want the most expensive, limited-edition version of the Nike Air Jordan Sneakers.
Superga Cotu

Last but not least, the affordable Superga Cotu Sneakers are a favorite of Karlie Kloss, Kate Middleton, and more. The canvas design is super comfortable and the $65 price tag hits a sweet spot for a lot of shoppers.
