When it comes down to footwear, Gabrielle Union tends to gravitate toward a few simplified styles. On and off the red carpet, Union can usually be found wearing sandals and sky-high heels. However, she’s also known for wearing shoes from Paris Texas, Jude, Tamara Mellon, and Tabitha Simmons. While off-duty, Union prefers athletic picks from top brands like Adidas, Reebok, and Nike.
In honor of Union’s impeccable taste, FootwearNews is rounding up the fashionable star’s best street style shoe moments over the years.
