I’ve long looked to Dakota Johnson for styling inspiration. With her lightly tousled waves, ultra-relaxed energy, and a wardrobe full of hero items, the actor has consistently crafted both chic and laid-back ensembles that make me want to emulate them instantly.
Having studied Johnson’s wardrobe for some time now, I’ve honed in on a few of the fashion heroes that are always featured in her very best looks—the most important of which is a timeless pair of sneakers.
Favoring retro-inspired styles and city staples, Johnson’s trainer collection spans some of my favorite pairs on the market. To get Johnson’s easy-to-copy look and develop a timeless trainer collection, read on to discover the three sneaker trends the actor can’t stop wearing.

Style Notes: Like most city dwellers, Johnson’s sneaker collection can’t be without a classic pair of Adidas Sambas. Comfortable, versatile, and so easy to slot into a capsule wardrobe, Johnson is on to a wardrobe winner. Whilst the actor keeps coming back to her sage green pair—which I’ve spotted her style on multiple occasions of the past few weeks, the iconic design is avaiable in a growing range of colors.
