Despite her surprising net worth , Jessica Biel knows how to lounge like nobody’s watching (read: slob snacking ). That’s why it makes sense to see the Cruel Summer star in an affordable shoe that’s all about practicality. The Native Jefferson sneaker —Biel's go-to while filming in NYC—is essentially a chicer answer to Crocs: It delivers all the breathability you need while keeping with 2024’s obsession with perforated silhouettes.

Crafted from injection-molded EVA material, these sneakers are ultra-lightweight and shock absorbent, making them easy to slip on or throw in your tote when you’re out the door. The EVA upper is designed with all-over perforations, allowing your feet to breathe just as well as they would in a pair of Crocs, but with a sleeker, more polished look. The rubber rand and toe make them fairly durable too—and they're engineered to be odor-resistant and hand-washable, so they’ll stay fresh no matter how often you wear them.

As for style, the sneaker’s silhouette is hitting all the right notes for 2024. Its minimalist build features clean lines with a fuss-free design—and its perforated edges offer a more practical take on the Croc revival and jelly shoe comeback . Not to mention that it’s available in more than 35 colors—from dust pink to Biel’s go-to white—so there's a pair to match every outfit in your wardrobe.

Long story short? It’s a compromise between Crocs and sneakers (with all of the breathability you need). They pair just as well with athleisure as they do with a flowy dress—and your feet will thank you later for the EVA’s ultra-cushy feel.
