The Zara Sneakers I'm Not Supposed to Wear (But Will Anyway)

I know Zara's new-arrivals section like the back of my hand. But the brand's men's department, now that's a whole different story. While it's not unusual to find me scrolling through the dresses, high heels, and kick flares for an upcoming story, I'm not well versed in the current offerings for my male counterparts. So I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon a pair of sneakers that made me want to put the "borrowed from the boys" trope to use for real. Similar dad-inspired tech sneakers have been on my shopping list for a while, but the fun colors and under-$100 price tag set these apart for me.
While men's sneakers may at first seem like an odd choice, one thing I've learned as a semi-sneakerhead is that often, there's not much difference between men's and women's shoes besides the size. Since these sneakers go all the way down to a men's 6 (a women's 7.5), it's possible for many women to adopt them for their own. So if you're ready to take the sneaker plunge, check them out below!
