Enter: Converse and Vans sneakers.

Just because these iconic brands have a long history of classic style doesn’t mean they don’t have a nerdy side. They do—you just haven’t discovered it yet. And it’s my job as style cat to help you find that perfect shoe, no matter your personality.

That said, here are 9 sneakers that’ll let your nerdiness shine:
