Nike Air Max 90 Futura Shoes ($122, originally $160)

The classics got a glow-up meet the Air Max 90 Futura sneakers. With layered textures, bold details, and that iconic cushy sole, these kicks are all about turning heads while keeping it everyday. Wear them once, and you'll be hooked just like our editor. Read our review of the Nike Air Max 90 Futura Shoes.

Editor Quote: "I'm not a regular sneakers wearer, so I was surprised by how much I love the Nike Air Max 90 Futura sneakers. First of all, they're comfortable with a plush ankle padding and Max Air cushioning, so I literally never want to take them off. But they're also stylish enough that they pair well with my wardrobe of mostly dresses. They feature an embellished Nike swoop and metallic finishes that feel a bit more glamorous than your average sneaker, while still feeling soft and supportive with every step. I've worn them for a day of running to events at Fashion Week but also to run everyday errands, walk through the mall, and play with my nephew at the park." Jessica Andrews, senior style director

Nike Air Force 1 '07 Shoes ($115)

The Air Force 1 '07 is a straight-up classic, but with a fresh feel you can't ignore. Clean lines, that iconic chunky sole, and a crisp white finish make these kicks perfect for leveling up any outfit day or night. Read our review of the Nike Air Force 1 '07 sneakers.

Editor Quote: "After trying these on myself, I finally understand why the Nike Air Force 1's are the most quintessential white sneakers. They have a casual look yet somehow manage to make you look put together. I love that I can pretty much sport them with the majority of items in my closet, whether it's a flowy summer dress, a cashmere sweater with jeans, a basic bodysuit with jeans, or, of course, athleisure attire." Anvita Reddy, former assistant shopping editor

Nike 24.7 ImpossiblySoft Dri-FIT Oversized 1/2-Zip Top ($110)

Nike 24.7 ImpossiblySoft Dri-FIT Mid-Rise Joggers ($95)

Say hello to the athleisure set you'll never want to take off. Nike's 24.7 Line seriously lives up to its name with this top and joggers soft, breathable, and made to move with you all day, every day. The fit is roomy without feeling bulky, and the joggers actually have length (tall girls, rejoice). The creamy beige-white color goes with everything, but let's be real, it looks best as a full set. Bonus: after hours of wear, it still looks fresh. No creases, no fuss, just pure comfort and style. Read our review of the Nike 24.7 ImpossiblySoft Dri-FIT top and joggers.

Editor Quote: "First off, both pieces are so soft and comfortable. They're oversized, so you have room to breathe, but they're also not too oversized where you look frumpy. I've worn this set twice while working from home, and there still aren't any noticeable creases from sitting down. That's a game changer." Taylor Andrews, balance editor
