13 Ways to Style Flat Sneakers

Nike Cortez Leather

These leather Nike sneakers have been in the game for decades – and for good reason. Though they're shoppable in a classic black + white colorway, I think this red + blue iteration has just enough color and flair without totally distracting your outfit. They're undeniably vintage-y, yet perfectly modern to match every ensemble you put together. What's more is these are as easy to wear as they are to style, thanks to the comfy foam midsole and thick wedge heel.

Nike Air Max SC

The mixed materials on these shoes are influenced by their practical track and field origins, but they've taken on more of a sporty streetwear vibe over the years, which I love. I've had friends throughout the years that won't go anywhere without these Nike sneakers. They're a great match with with jeans and sweatpants alike, and seamlessly go with any color palette you're working with, since they're just drenched in neutrals.

Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low Pro GT

Since low-profile sneakers are undoubtedly having a moment right now (everyone say "thank you" to the Adidas Sambas and Puma Easy Riders), these skater shoes are going to instantly make you look right on trend. If you want to make an even bigger "It" girl move wearing them, swap out the plain white laces for colorful ones, or even mix and match between the left and right shoes!

Nike Spark

These "thoughtfully crafted" sneaks are not quite for the streetwear fiends out there, but those who embrace being active every single day. Just by the structured look of them, you can see that they're geared specifically toward higher-impact movements, like walking long distances (and running even farther). Their feel on the feet is equal parts cushy and bouncy – literally putting some pep in your step.

Nike Air Force 1 '07 LX

These sneakers take the Air Force 1 – Nike's most classic basketball sneaker – and turn it on its head, while still retaining all the details that make the AF1's, well, the AF1's. You'll spot the timeless thick soles, signature side swoops, and breathable mesh paneling across the toe boxes, except this version is swarmed in chic, cream-colored suede and features a fun royal blue accent at the heels that definitely set them apart from the original (and at this point, tired) all-white colorway.

Nike Waffle Debut Vintage

Directly influenced by the shoe styles of the '70s, Nike slapped some soft suede on these sneakers along with a vibrant orange color that feels extremely indicative of the disco decade. Though they look like they're from another time period, they're a perfect fit for today's trends – pair 'em with a sleek matching set or baggy jeans for a sporty boost.

Nike Air Force 1 '07 Next Nature

These all-white shoes are uber-reliable for those moments you don't exactly know what shoes to reach for. Not only do they match with practically any 'fit, they feel super comfortable and virtually never wear out, as long as you take good care of them. You'll earn some serious street cred wearing them, too. They're that iconic.

Nike Tech Hera

The wavy design along the sides of these sneakers combined with the skinny laces up top makes for a playful visual effect that instantly amps up any get-up you've got goin' on, even if it's just jeans and a white tee. They almost have a Y2K feel to them, with an added height boost from the chunky soles. I need these on my feet ASAP.

Nike Blazer Mid '77

These high-rise sneaks have been hot since the '70s, beloved through the '80s and '90s, and perfectly revamped for the 2000's and beyond. They are still stamped with the vintage logo on the tongue, and massive swooshes on the sides for recognizable brand appeal.

Is there going to be a Gladiator 3?

Paramount Pictures hasn't confirmed whether we're getting a Gladiator 3 quite yet, but director Ridley Scott is definitely on board. "I’ve already got eight pages. I’ve got the beginning of a very good footprint," he says. But he also mentions he'd like to make one huge change from the first two movies. "If there’s a Gladiator 3, I don’t think you’d ever go back into the arena. But I had to go back into the arena…"

And as for whether Paul Mescal would return? Well that's a resounding yes. “If there's going to be a Gladiator III, I hope I'm in it," he told Peopleat the LA premiere of Gladiator 2 on November 18, while adding to Variety that he'd be “massively down” for a third movie.

“I don’t think it will be [24] years — but I have no idea when it will be.”

But Paul's comments on a Gladiator 3 weren't the only reason he made headlines last night! He brought GF Gracie Abrams (who just broke the internet in her own right when she performed with Taylor Swift). And while they didn't make a red carpet appearance together, it seems like Gladiator's official TikTok account just hard launched their relationship.

"THEY HIT THE PENTAGON," one user commented, while another said, "I just fell to my knees." If you can't tell from the drama, fans are going crazy. (It's me, I'm fans).

Is Russell Crowe in the new Gladiator?

No, sadly, Russell Crowe doesn't make an appearance in Gladiator 2 (well, apart from Gladiator flashbacks, that is). And if you're wondering 'Is Maximus alive in Gladiator 2?' you'll just have to watch the first one!
