With Sneakers This Cool, No One Will Even Be Paying Attention to the Rest of Your Outfit
It's clear by the state of things that the fashion set's love for sneakers is not waning anytime soon. My own appreciation runs deep. I don't think there has ever been a time, trendy or not, that sneakers weren't in my closet. I strive for easy dressing that doesn't compromise style, so cool sneakers hold a special power in my outfit planning. A standout pair can do a lot of the heavy lifting, transforming and elevating even the most basic of outfits.
With that in mind, I'm always keeping an eye out for a stellar new pair to add to my collection. This weekend, I put together a list of sneakers that have a major cool factor right now. I included finds from the likes of Adidas, Vans, Onitsuka Tiger, Salomon, Golden Goose, Nike, and more. Unfortunately, I backed myself into a corner because now I can't pick just one. Scroll on to shop 30 sneakers that are so cool no one will even be paying attention to the rest of your outfit.
