Gone are the days where a sneaker’s whole purpose was support and function. Don’t get me wrong, those are still two very important attributes—and might I argue, still the most important—but a tennis shoe now has the power to elevate your entire look, making it feel instantly modern and on-trend. Of course, you need the right kind of sneaker to pull that off—and Reese Witherspoon knows just the one.

The multi-hyphenate has a way with her wardrobe, pulling vibrant, Southern-inspired pieces together to create effortlessly chic ensembles. So, when I saw the “Legally Blonde” star step out in a pair of Tretorn sneakers yet another time last year, I knew I needed to add them to my collection.  

I opted for her classic Rawlins style, which includes the brand’s iconic swoosh detail, suede paneling, and a special on-sale price. Upon wearing the shoe for an eight-hour day at Disneyland (and 20,000 steps), I fell in love with the comfortable footbed and supportive sole. The color-block design also added bold contrast to my outfit, offering clean lines and structure. 

But that’s not the only Tretorn style currently on sale. If you’re looking for something even more seasonal, consider the Nylite canvas tennis shoe featuring an espadrille sole. It fits right in line with the woven, coastal aesthetic everyone seems to be fangirling over, while boasting crisp white canvas adorned with gold-tone details. 

For a classic option, you can’t go wrong with the Loyola tennis shoe. They take the term “fashion sneaker” to the next level, bringing versatility and style to the forefront. The mesh upper helps keep things breezy, while the lightweight design never slows you down.

Make the most of this long weekend by shopping more Witherspoon-inspired sneakers, below, including low-profile options, luxurious leather finds, and retro silhouettes.      

Looking for the perfect tennis shoe to complement your sundresses? Well, you just found it. The Nylite Canvas Sneaker includes a low profile, retro details, and extra cushioned heel.

If you were into the aforementioned option but wish it was a touch dressier, then you’re in luck. This leather pick boasts all of the same attributes as the latter, though a metallic side decal sets it apart even more.

The fashion-forward Elite Sneakers bring comfort to every step, feeling like clouds on your feet while looking even better. If the blue hue isn’t for you, consider the white and taupe alternative.

Racket Fashion Sneakers

The Racket Sneakers are breathable, versatile, and downright timeless. Wear the sleek shoe with wide-leg linen trousers and a dressy tank top, or pair it with a white baby tee and cut-off shorts.
