The World's Most Instagrammed Sneakers Might Surprise You

What comes to mind when you think of Instagrammable sneakers? Perhaps it's those infamous Balenciaga shoes or the viral Louis Vuitton versions. But as it turns out, the most popular sneakers on the platform are actually a lot more approachable and affordable than those designer shoes.
Footwear News reported on a new study that analyzed hashtags of different sneaker styles, and none other than the Adidas NMD Sneakers took the number one spot on the list. According to the study, the shoes are featured in an impressive 5.7 million Instagram posts, while second-place Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Sneakers have racked up 4.1 million posts. Vans Old Skool Sneakers rounded out the top three. Head over to Footwear News for the full report, and scroll down to shop the 'gram-ready shoes.
