The One Sneaker Brand French Women Always Reach For

@anoukyveEver since I saw Phoebe Philo walk out at the end of Celine shows during her tenure wearing Adidas Stan Smith shoes, I've kept a pair in my closet—just like many other chic women I know. The style embodies elevated fashion and captures that certain je ne sais quoi of modern-day dressing. I've effortlessly paired mine with tailored jackets and office-ready trousers and with jeans and oversize sweatshirts for busy errand days. If a pair of sneakers could represent a French woman, it would undoubtedly be a pair of Adidas sneakers.
Beyond its simple white leather shoes, the entire Adidas brand has become synonymous with cool French-girl style in recent years. Its Sambas embody the spirit of fun-loving, trend-forward individuals hanging out in the Marais neighborhood. Ultraboosts grace the feet of stylish on-the-go moms picking up produce and taking their impeccably dressed babies to the Louvre. For the fashion-savvy, the Stan Smiths reign supreme. (Although, I do have a soft spot for colorful Gazelles.)
If you're anything like me, you want affordable sneakers that can complement any outfit. Fortunately, nearly all of Adidas's best-selling styles are priced at $150 and below. If these looks can't convince you of French women's love for Adidas shoes, I honestly don't know what will. Below, explore all the pairs waiting in their virtual shopping carts.
