Words cannot describe how happy I am to see the sneaker trend return…if it ever did really go away. With style icons like Lily Aldridge and Jay-Z wearing sneaks everywhere they go, it has become such a norm to show up to work in a fresh white pair of Adidas Original Superstars, and we are thanking the fashion Gods for this. I love fashion folk, but realistically, most of us in the industry aren’t wearing heels 24/7. I’m sorry if I’ve ruined a glamorous image in your heads, but 5″ stilettos surprisingly aren’t that practical when running to meeting and steaming clothes on set.

Gigi Hadid has been my favourite champion of this trend, as it she’s not solely rocking pairs of sold-out Yeezy Boost’s or Marant kicks. No, while on date night or out shopping with a friend, she wears classic Nikes and Vans. She also has shown the world how to wear sneakers without looking like your coming straight from the gym. Thank you Gigi!

So while you are planning your fall shopping lists, we suggest you incorporate a few pairs of kicks into your must-have list. They’re the perfect transition piece for when it’s too cold for sandals and when you’re not ready for boots, and they go with so much. Skinny jeans, culottes, Re/Dun short shorts – whatever you’re wearing, some sporty sleek kicks will complete the look.
