Not only does Dakota Johnson have THE dream role starring alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in the upcoming film Materialists, but she also has THE dream IT girl summer style with her collection of trendy yet casual sneakers. From the coveted adidas Gazelle to the classic Nike Cortez, the actress has constantly demonstrated that she knows a thing or two about pairing her summer outfits with the perfect pair of kicks. We’ve put together a list of some of the must-have sneakers that Dakota Johnson has been seen sporting so you can channel her carefree yet stylish look all season long.

Adidas Gazelle

Right now, the three-stripes have an abundance of IT girl-approved silhouettes under their belt, and the Gazelle happens to be one of the favourites. Since their debut on the pitch in the 1960s, these soccer shoes have become a mainstay of street style for pop stars, actors, supermodels and, yes, us regular folks too. Of course, the Adidas x Gucci Gazelle pair Dakota is frequently seen wearing may be a little out of reach for the average fashionista, especially given the current resale prices. However, you can grab a plain white pair of Gazelles for as little as $100 USD from the adidas site.

Is there anybody famous who hasn’t been spotted wearing the Adidas Samba over the past few years? This humble soccer shoe has become a favourite among influencers and celebrities alike, even winning the title of ‘it’ shoe in 2023. With such widespread popularity, it’s no surprise that Johnson has a few colourways in her arsenal, including a silver-green pair that she’s been spotted wearing multiple times.

If there’s one sneaker that pairs well with virtually anything you throw at it, it’s the never-out-of-style Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star. The actress has been spotted in a number of different cuts and colours over the years, but for summer, there’s nothing like a classic white or black canvas low-top to elevate your outfit. 

Nike Daybreak

Nike’s legendary Daybreak silhouette doesn’t quite get the props it deserves. After all, this was the same silhouette that took Joan Benoit Samuelson 26.2 kilometres to victory in the first Olympic women’s marathon in 1984 while simultaneously becoming the must-have lifestyle sneaker of the ’80s. While these sneakers have become a popular style among retro fashion enthusiasts like Dakota, getting them at a decent price online can feel near impossible. However, there is always the incredibly similar Nike Pacific model to check out until the Swoosh Label brings these back into production.

Nike Cortez

One sneaker that keeps making its way back into the limelight is the iconic Nike Cortez. First introduced in 1972, this timeless sneaker has become a staple in pop culture and Dakota Johnson’s wardrobe. The colourway the actress always comes back to is a rich brown style that happens to be the colour of the season, but there are plenty of enticing shades available for purchase on the Nike US site.

Nike V2K Run

Although Johnson is much more accustomed to sporting a slim sneaker silhouette, she has recently wandered into the chunky sneaker trend with the Nike V2K Run. This contemporary version of the traditional dad shoe boasts a chunky sole and ample padding for the ultimate fusion of comfort and style. While you could opt for a minimalist all-black look like the Hollywood A-lister, there are plenty (and we mean plenty) of options for both men and women to choose from.
