Jennifer Lopez Wore Trending Platform Sneakers From Nike

Jennifer Lopez just wore the most elevated version of a classic Nike sneaker, literally. On Instagram, the star showed off her easy-yet-cool summer outfit, which included a simple white T-shirt, wide-leg pants, and Nike Cortez sneakers that featured one less-than-traditional detail: a cartoonishly high platform.

The statement shoes, which are from a 2018 collaboration with Comme des Garçons, felt shockingly appropriate for 2025. It’s been the year of giant platform heels, so platform sneakers feel like the obvious next step. The shoes offer that same eye-catching height, but with a casual-cool look; as Lopez proved, they’re the perfect way to make everyday staples feel less basic. While you’re going to have to scour Ebay to get her exact sneakers, I found nine similar styles you can shop right now, starting at just $32.

9 Trending Platform Sneakers

Nike Air Force 1 Sage Platform Sneakers

If you love J.Lo’s Nikes, you’ll want to grab the Air Force 1 Sage platform sneakers. While these aren’t as tall as hers, they do have that cool, chunky look and classic white design—though you can also snag them in baby blue.

Dream Pairs Platform Sneakers

To get the look for less, grab Dream Pairs’s now-$32 sneakers. These have a decently tall platform—2.36-inches, to be exact—and a cushioned, vented insole.

Reebok Club C Extra Platform Sneakers

My favorite is Reebok’s Club C Extra platform sneakers. I’m obsessed with the style’s retro look, chunky silhouette, and the fact that shoppers say they’re comfortable enough to walk five miles in.

Adidas Gazelle Bold Sneakers

If you’re one of the many people loyal to Adidas’s trendy Gazelle sneakers, you don’t have to ditch them entirely. Instead, you can upgrade to this version that’s the same, just three times taller. This sky blue is my personal favorite, but the sneaker is also available in 21 other colors.

Coach Platform Sneakers

Coach Outlet’s three-inch platform sneakers are made from soft leather (I’d expect nothing less from Coach). While certainly not cheap, shoppers have deemed the $139 shoes a surprisingly “great deal” thanks to that high-quality material.

Dr. Scholl’s x Favorite Daughter Platform Sneakers

These comfy-cute shoes, a collaboration between Dr. Scholl’s and Favorite Daughter, have a nearly two-inch platform, a sweet scalloped trim, and anatomic cushioning. If comfort is your top priority, these are the ones you’re going to want to grab. 

Puma Palermo Elevata Sneakers

An elevated version of Puma’s trending Palermo sneakers are available at Anthropologie. While this classic white style is still in stock, the other colors are quite limited, so I don’t expect sizes to last much longer.

Keds Triple Up Sneakers

Keds took its classic canvas sneaker to new levels, adding a 1.5-inch platform to the Triple Up style. Because canvas is light and breathable, these are a great option for summer. The look is also clean and simple, so the shoes are going to go with everything.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Platform Embroidered Sneakers

While not really a lookalike for Lopez’s sneakers, Converse might have made the cutest platforms. The embroidered high-top style features small flowers and a purple scalloped trim. They’re the perfect finishing touch to a breezy white summer dress or jean cut-offs.
