I've long looked to Dakota Johnson for styling inspiration. With her lightly tousled waves, ultra-relaxed energy, and 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 pair of timeless sneakers.
Favoring retro-inspired styles and city staples, Johnson's sneaker collection spans some of my favorite pairs on the market. To get Johnson's easy-to-copy look and develop a timeless sneaker collection, read on to discover the three sneaker trends the actor can't stop wearing.
DISCOVER DAKOTA JOHNSON'S FAVORITE SNEAKER TRENDS
1. ADIDAS SAMBAS
Style Notes: Like most city dwellers, Johnson's sneaker collection can't be without a classic pair of Adidas Sambas, which are comfortable, versatile, and so easy to slot into a capsule wardrobe. Johnson is onto a wardrobe winner. While the actor keeps coming back to her sage-green pair—which I've spotted her style on multiple occasions in the past few weeks—the iconic design is available in a growing range of colors.

2. NIKE CORTEZ SNEAKERS
Style Notes: These '70s-inspired sneakers are set to see a major revival this season, and I'm inspired by Johnson's chocolate-brown pair. Wearing hers with fresh white jeans and a cream quilted jacket, the actor added a cool and casual edge to her off-duty style.

3. SIMPLE WHITE SNEAKERS
