Recently, we saw the end of South Korean drama The King: Eternal Monarch that starred Kim Go-eun and Lee Min-ho. And if you’re like us, you’re probably reeling from the “now what?” effects that accompany the completion of any series.
For those who want to re-live Kim’s best fashion moments, here’s a look back. If you noticed, one key to her effortless style often involves a pair of comfortable and stylish sneakers that accented her outfits.
Here are 10 sneakers to pull off Kim Go-eun’s casual style:

In The King: Eternal Monarch, Kim had a more androgynous style. This scene in episode 2 where she was digging through the trash for evidence saw her donning a mustard Converse Chuck 70 high-top sneakers ($119.90).
Other than the one time in the first episode where she dressed up in heels to catch a criminal, Kim wore mostly sneakers. She was wearing another Converse Chuck 70 sneakers ($109.90) at the end of episode 2 where she sees Lee at her house.
It goes without saying that Kim loves Converse. In episode 4, she matched an AllSaints checkered coat and denim jeans with a deep blue high-top Chuck Taylor Classic sneakers ($75.90) to give off a cool street style attitude.
To prove that he is from a parallel universe, Lee hoists Kim up his white horse and brought her into the Kingdom of Corea in episode 4. Here, she’s sporting the classic Vans silhouette.
Episode 5 saw Kim dressed in a trench coat from South Korean label Recto with matching grey scarf and New Balance shoes. Simple yet effective.
If you looked closely at this episode 8 scene at a restaurant with Lee, Kim’s sneakers have a green tick. That’s right, it is from Nike’s Classic Cortez range.
Kim wasn’t stingy and shared with us behind-the-scenes glimpses on her Instagram. Dressed in a slouchy blazer and jeans combo matched with New Balance sneakers, Kim looked both comfortable and on-trend.
This pair was seen in episode 10 and it belongs to the One Star collection, a newer line from the brand. It removes the signature arrow with a sleek star motif.
After trying to save declining ratings by changing directors, we could see the plot getting tenser from episode 10. This scene saw Lee saving the damsel in distress and carried the bloodied Kim to safety. Here. she wore Adidas Ozeweego sneakers.
Lee also blessed us with behind-the-scenes shots on his Instagram. This beach scene saw her wearing white New Balance sneakers. We reckon she has a penchant for green, wearing Nike and Vans that footwear had featured the colour.
