We’re always on the lookout for a great pair of sneakers. A set of shoes that’s versatile, stylish, and practical always does the trick for us. While some stars are showing off their designer duds, there are other celebs who’ve been rocking tried and true sneakers for decades. Julia Roberts made Vans the must-have sneaker back in 1999 with the romantic comedy Notting Hill. Not only can you get the sneakers she wore on the film’s set, you can buy more styles from Vans on Amazon and Nordstrom for under $70.

Let’s take a nostalgia-laden trip back in time: 1999’s Notting Hill was arguably one of the biggest movies of that year — and more than 20 years later, it still holds a special place on our hearts. Starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, Notting Hill totally swept us off our feet, and had us vying for a pair of sneakers Roberts’ wore on set. Fast forward to today and we’re just a shopper, standing in front of a deal on these shoes, telling ourselves it’s about time we add them to our closet.
