Regarding trending footwear, Jennifer Lawrence’s collection is the gold standard. Thinking back at the last dozen shoe trends to kick off—from mesh flats and luxury slippers to jelly sandals and moccasins—the No Hard Feelings actress was responsible for or at least played a large role in growing most of them. Clearly, her taste is impeccable, as well as forward-thinking, and yes, it extends into the world of sneakers.

On Jennifer Lawrence: The Row coat; Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 1906r Sneakers ($2480); Polo Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Cotton Crew Socks ($40); Luv Lou The Helena ($160)
This week, while the sneaker world was abuzz with talk of retro styles taken from university gyms in the 1970s, Lawrence took the time to appreciate a very different type of trainer. By some, chunky sneakers could be considered “out,” but not in Lawrence’s world. There, New Balance’s 1906r silhouette is the favorite, specifically a pair from the brand’s highly regarded collaboration with Aimé Leon Dore.
Lawrence was spotted walking in New York City with her husband Cooke Maroney wearing a green version of the sneakers from 2023, styled alongside Polo Ralph Lauren gold socks, lounge pants, a blue-and-white gingham shirt, and The Row’s Fleur Coat. She finished off the winter look with a tied scarf and sunglasses from Luv Lou. Easy and comfy, yes, but the look was also sophisticated and cool, especially her choice of sneakers.

1906R ‘Green’
Of course, it couldn’t be that easy. Her shoes, which she’s been quietly rocking for at least eight months now, are highly sought after on the sneaker market, with one size specifically going for $2,480 on GOAT. (It’s important to note that other sizes are going for much lower prices.) Seeing this and knowing I can’t justify paying that much for sneakers right now, I went searching for more cost-effective alternatives. It didn’t take long to stumble upon a pair of non-A.L.D. New Balance 1906r sneakers at Net-a-Porter that are just as good, but a fraction of the price at $155. Plus, they’re still somehow available in most sizes.
Knowing Lawrence’s influence, these affordable alts aren’t going to stay in stock for long. Scroll down to shop them before it’s too late.
