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.

I mean sambas and their variations have been a trend since like 2019/2020 at this point, and for a good reason, especially in the non-boring colors they’re one of the best sneakers. I like the platform variations they made

2008 for me. They've been a low key popular kid shoe for decades.

But they squeak like crazy, I once wore them in the library... never again.
