Embellished Sneakers: Honestly, I'm on the Fence
When it came time to broach the topic of embellished sneakers, I found myself surprisingly conflicted. I say surprising because usually, when it comes to fashion, I’m pretty cutthroat in my decision making. Whether it’s liking something or not, buying it or not, or endorsing a trend or fashion item right here onBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing or not, I rarely waver.
Why the struggle then? Well, on one hand, I feel like one of the main things I love about the sneaker trend right now, aside from the comfort factor, is that the footwear choice lends a touch of (for lack of a better phrase) DGAF to a look, making you feel a little cooler. Then come the embellished sneakers: still comfortable but less I just threw these on and a little more How about these shoes, huh?
I hope I haven’t lost you. I just guess where I’m torn is on the idea of whether something I have always felt served one purpose could suddenly fill in another. To be honest, I’m still on the fence about this, but since I know that not everybody is, I took the time to round up the embellished sneakers I may wear one day, if I do end up coming around. Shop them below.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
