Scroll through her Instagram feed, and you’ll find that Bella Hadid is a lover of many things. There’s her family (duh), the beach (you can take a girl out of California, yet…), pizza (of course)the list goes on. And then there are the sneakers.

Take a look at any of her model-off-duty street style looks—also readily available on social media—and you’ll find that the top model is rarely without a cool pair of kicks that would make even the most devout collector green with envy.

And not just any brand. Hadid, like many a sneakerhead before her, is a devotee of Nike, the reigning champ of athletic footwear. The fact that she is spokesperson for the brand certainly helps; most recently, the model starred alongside Riccardo Tisci in the campaign for his latest designs for the sportswear mega-brand. “It was much fun,” Hadid told W about the campaign shoot early last month. “He has such crazy art direction and knows exactly what he wants, so it’s funny to shoot with him when he has to be in front of the camera. He is such an incredible energy and we just laugh and talk about stupid stuff.”

Here, just after the official Air Max Day on Sunday, Hadid exclusively breaks down her five favorite Nike sneakers of all time.

The Classic Cortez sneaker.
