The sneaker industry once known as a male-dominated field is slowly diversifying. Brands like Nike, New Balance, and ASICS have started to get out of the “Shrink it and Pink it” mentality and are introducing exclusive colorways for women, with some colorways arguably better than anything that came in men’s sizing. With the sneaker market being this ongoing wheel of drops, it may be hard for some to traverse the many options available and where to find a good deal. But thanks to StockX, there are amazing kicks to be found at attainable prices, especially when it comes to women’s sneakers. Check out the best women’s sneakers all under $200.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Varsity Red

The Air Jordan 1 is one of the Jordan Brand’s most revered silhouettes, making it a popular pick-up for most. Originally, in order to capitalize on the AJ1 hype, most women would have to pray for the sneaker to come in either a grade school option or for there to be smaller sizes of the men’s pair. But more and more recently, Nike and Jordan have been dropping exclusive women’s colorways that stop at a certain size range to ensure that they are strictly catered to women. This Air Jordan 1 High Varsity is another addition to Jordan’s ongoing collection of women’s kicks. The Air Jordan 1 High Varsity takes on a similar Chicago colorway aesthetic, featuring Varsity Red and white uppers. A chenille Swoosh follows the theme of the sneaker’s name, giving it a varsity jacket vibe.

New Balance 550 Au Lait

The New Balance 550 continues to be a standout silhouette from the Boston running brand. Despite its deep roots within running and sprinting culture and products, New Balance was also a premier brand within the basketball space, with one of their biggest players in the 1980s being Los Angeles Lakers James Worthy. Even though the 550 is no longer enough to withstand the demands of today’s NBA talent, the traditional basketball sneaker has found a new home within streetwear and hype cultures. Today, the New Balance 550 is one of the most sought-after sneakers from the brand in quite some time, and this Au Lait women’s exclusive is sure to turn heads. The New Balance 550 Au Lait features autumnal colors ready for the upcoming season, sporting a mix of cream, brown, and beige-colored leathers throughout. An Ortholite insole provides all-day comfort to your feet, making these the perfect pair to rock regularly.

Versace Squalo White Black Multi

It’s not every day that a luxury sneaker can be obtained at such low, reasonable prices, so when the opportunity comes around, it’s best to capitalize on it. Such is the case for the Versace Squalo White Black Multi, as it is currently trading well under retail (~$500) and also under $200. The Versace Squalo is a sneaker that is hard to miss with its bulky and wavy midsole. A mix of blue and red leather and white mesh take on the upper for a sporty look. The sneaker is currently selling between $120-$160 but that price is sure to not last for long, so take advantage while you still can.

Nike Dunk High Panda (2021)

The Nike Dunk High Panda needs no introduction. It’s already one of the most traded sneakers on StockX and can be seen all over social media. But most may not know that this popular sneaker is also trading below $200 in all sizes. The neutral colorway can pair well with just about anything you throw at it, and its high-top construction provides amazing comfort to your feet and ankle.

Nike Air Humara LX Jacquemus Ale Brown Gold

Alongside luxury sneakers, collaborations oftentimes tend to sell well beyond their retail price, especially when they’re the first of their kind. Nike’s latest collection with Parisian brand Jacquemus goes against this commonality, with their Nike Air Humara Lx Jacquemus Brown selling under $200 in most sizes. The collaboration brought a luxury feel to the traditional hiking sneaker, adding plush leather and suede uppers with gold mini Nike Swooshes. If you’re looking to stunt on a budget then cop these today before prices start climbing.
