This sort of depends on the overall look you're going for. Casual? Semi-casual? Construction worker casual? It also depends on climate; if you're getting sub-zero temperatures at the moment, running shoes might not be appropriate.
That said, you do have several options. Chuck Taylors are generally considered classic cool and come in a whole range of styles and colours. shesus' Steve Madden distressed shoes have that Salvation Army chique look, which may or may not still be big on college campuses; as I spend little time on them, I'm not entirely certain. If you want something a little more weather-appropriate, a pair of black leather boots are both warm and quite stylish. I wear a pair that look something like
these. And failing all of that, you could just go with a classic dress shoe, which can definitely work with jeans, although it will depend largely on what you wear over them. If you go that route, though, make sure you don't get anything too flashy; something like
this could work. You'd wear that with a nice pair of jeans (proper fit, no holes, not overly faded) and a fairly nice shirt; either a wool sweater or maybe a button down left open over a t-shirt. In that case I prefer solid colours, although I know for a fact that willravel disagrees with me and your mileage may vary.
Just some thoughts, anyway.
