The Find: 11 incredibly stylish pairs of sneakers for spring
The Find: 11 incredibly stylish pairs of sneakers for spring
The running shoe is enjoying a renaissance. Sporty, heelless footwear has shown up all over this spring, on high-fashion runways and on the feet of style setters across Toronto. Whether paired with a pretty midi skirt or slouchy boyfriend jeans, runners radiate an effortless kind of cool. (They’re also blissfully comfortable, which is nice.) We’ve picked out our favourite women’s and men’s sneakers of the season: luxe cheetah-print slip-ons, pastel-hued retro runners and subtle leather lace-ups that could even be worn with a suit. These kicks are a far cry from the beat-up Asics stashed at the back of your closet, and can be worn practically anywhere (as long as you don’t actually try to exercise in them).
