I Absolutely Don’t Need Any More Sneakers, But I Can’t Say No To These
From coast to coast mother nature has reared its ugly head. Massive snowstorms and heavy rainfall included, the beginning of the month proved to be prime time for owning a pair of boots. Now that the torrential rain has eased up some in Los Angeles, and New York is back to regularly scheduled programming type of winter weather, I'm declaring it a moment for sneakers.
Thankfully, the options to choose from are seemingly endless. From buzzy brand-name collaborations to a Drake-endorsed designer, the sneaker market is alive and robust. Good for sneakerheads, but bad for my wallet. While several trends are circulating at the moment, the general consensus is that we're in an anti-white sneaker phase. The colorways are more daring, vibrant, and more over the top than ever before. Super sporty sneakers are also a big theme here, which feels like a perfect pairing with the parachute pant trend also currently blowing up.
It's not that I need sneakers, but they're just too cute to pass up. To see exactly what I mean, keep clicking below.
It's about time to wear your greens.

I wouldn't expect anything less chic from a Comme Des Garcons collab.
If you recognize this pair just from the picture, just know every fashion person seems to own these.
