Most of you already know my feelings on trainers - I’m more of a stilettos girl – but the world of fashion seems intent on swaying my opinions this year.
In the wake of the announcement that Jimmy Choo is set to launch an upscale collection of hi-tops later this year, the Guardian has reported that Harvey Nichols has launched a new trainer wall for men and women, featuring designer shoes from the likes of Marc by Marc Jacobs and Chloe.
Tommy Hilfiger has jumped on the trainer trend as well, with a new sneaker collaboration between the designer and the Keith Haring Foundation available from April.
And if that wasn’t enough to rot your socks (ha!), the fashionistas on the streets of Paris have been spotted out and about in the Rue Saint-Honore district wearing colourful old-school trainers, the cast of Glee performs numbers in hi-tops and stylish singer Rihanna has been snapped in a pair of Nikes.
What is the fashion world coming to?
As far as comfortable footwear is concerned, I think I prefer Jimmy Choo’s recent collaboration with Ugg Australia to the current trainer trend.
Do you plan to swap your stilettos for sneakers?
