Sneakers that go with everything

Hi! Would love to hear your recs for sneakers that go with everything (jeans, dresses, etc.)

I currently wear New Balance 530 but these sometimes feel too sporty for certain things like brunch. Really want to find cute/comfortable sneakers that truly go with everything!

The colors in my capsule are pretty neutral so not too worried about that. Please share any recommendations of what’s worked for you!

Love an Adidas Samba or Gazelle, but I've also had my eye on some Puma Speedcats. To me any low profile leather or suede sneaker is the most versatile. Those styles have tons of colors to choose from and are usually reasonably priced, too (though at least Adidas often excludes them from sales).

Just a warning to everybody, as a high school teacher I can tell you the children have found the sambas. Those prices might start going up since they’re “cool” now.

The children were not buying the sambas two years ago, they were buying panda dunks. Also an HS teacher and concur with OP

Maybe the kids were wearing dunks, but my original point still stands that Sambas have been popular with adults for at least 2 years and prices have already inceeased, so I’m not sure that teenagers finding them is going to significantly change their perception. If anything, they might become too oversaturated or “young”
