This might be one of those love-it-or-hate-it trends. I used to consider tennis-shoes to be gloppy monsters of footwear, suitable only for the most utilitarian of uses (boring stuff like exercise.) You might have felt this way too if your only previous experience with running shoes was your Jr. High phys-ed classes in which you were pretty much this girl. But since I’ve discovered the gloppy-running-shoe’s cousin the slightly-sleeker-sneaker I’ve crossed over to the tennis-shoe dark side. Either way, if you haven’t noticed the sporty footwear trend popping up among the stylish set yet, you probably will next time you leave the house. In my town, you only have to hike it over to the posh university area shopping village and you’ll be met with a barrage of women sporting their forest green cashmere pullovers paired with color-splashed New Balances and Nikes. So what say you to the day-wear-with-sneaks trend? Yay or nay?
