Sneakers have been one of the biggest trends of the past decade, taking over the runways and the red carpet, and even becoming a royal must have. But between all the different styles, the various colorways, the constant drops, and the many (many) lust-worthy collaborations, choosing what pair to buy is almost proving impossible. Thankfully, celebrities are a reliable bunch, and they can always be counted on when we're in need of a little sartorial inspiration. And, as it turns out, rappers and hip-hop stars have particularly good taste when it comes to sneakers.
Over the past few months, stars like Cardi B, Lizzo, Tierra Whack, and K-pop idols Lisa and Jennie have not only proven that sneakers deserve a place in everyone's shoe collection, they've also given us great shopping inspiration on more than one occasion. From simple white sneakers that go with absolutely everything to colorful numbers that will take your looks to the next level and extrachunky options for some added height, read on for some of the coolest sneakers we've spotted on our favorite rappers' Instagram feeds, and shop similar options for yourself. Trust us: no sneaker collection will ever truly be complete without these styles.
