Two weekends ago, in an effort to get outside without roasting in the summer heat, I made my way to Brentwood Country Mart in L.A. to grab a bite in the shaded courtyard. I planned for just a quick, casual stop (and, no, hadn't changed out of my workout leggings despite my promises-to-self to try a tiered skirt), so imagine my surprise when I found myself in line to order a veggie burger just two people behind Jennifer Garner. Gotta love Los Angeles.

Being the introverted shopping editor that I am, rather than saying 'hi,' I took it upon myself to take note of her outfit, which included these cool, sporty SeaVees sneakers that are shockingly up for grabs for only $100. I didn't take any pics, of course (because even celebs deserve to enjoy their Sunday afternoon french fries in peace), but if you don't just want to take my word for it, you can also catch a glimpse of the shoes in the Instagram below, which the star posted just a couple of days before I'd spotted her. As it turns out, Garner is hardly the only celebrity fan of SeaVees. After I uncovered Garner's kicks, I also found the specific sneakers beloved by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Kelly Rutherford and Joey King—and you can shop 'em all below (you know, just in case you run into one of them and need the perfect conversation starter).

Coming in at a surprisingly affordable price point, these preppy, sporty sneakers have a retro-inspired stripe design and come in a ton of color combos. And not only do they look good, they also have a memory foam footbed for added comfort, which is likely one of the reasons Garner keeps coming back to them. (Pro tip: If your size is currently out of stock in the color you're craving, just sign up for the waitlist to get them right away once they're back.)

Gwyneth Paltrow is also a known lover of SeaVees—often seen sporting the high-top sneakers above, and the brand's cozy SeaChange slippers, which you can snag here for just $65. As for the high-tops, they're made from an eco-friendly recycled cotton canvas material and have a memory foam footbed, too, with airflow channels added in to keep your feet both cool *and* comfy. Plus, shoppers call out that they're a great option for travel, as one reviewer wrote: "[I've] been wearing them while traveling, and so far [they've been] very comfortable for extended walking." And, hey, if they're stylish enough for the Goop queen herself...

Joey King has been on my radar after I spent a Friday night absorbed in her latest rom-com, A Family Affair, and I was shocked to see she's yet another celeb who's a fan of the SeaVees brand. King donned these summery sneaks to a Despicable Me x BTS pop-up last month, going all in on the summer's trendiest butter yellow shade. They have a chunky natural rubber platform that's ideal for adding a bit of height without sacrificing comfort, and if the bold yellow isn't your thing, they also come in plenty of neutral hues like vanilla, white and black.

Lily van der Woodsen would totally approve of Kelly Rutherford's ultra-chic #OOTDs that have the internet swooning—and Garner would approve of the SeaVees Acorn sneakers that have made more than one appearance in her 'grams. These suede-detailed kicks are both stylish and versatile enough for everyday wear, so it's no surprise that they're nearly sold out right now. But considering how big of a fan club the style has among Rutherford and other shoppers who say they're the "best shoes ever," I think it's safe to expect a restock soon—hop on that waitlist to be the first to snag a pair.
