With the Olympics right around the corner, it’s only fitting that my current obsession be something that’s on the sportier side. Exhibit A: the sneaker. These kicks have gotten a serious fashion makeover this season from hidden wedges, to studs and pretty prints. Many of fashion’s and Hollywood’s finest are stepping out in these comfy athletic shoes. Most recently, the running shoe has been getting a lot of attention at some very chic events and runway shows.
