For as long as we can possibly remember sneakers have always been apart of fashion and style. The hip hop culture has made it even more popular to rock a pair of kicks. Low tops, High tops, whatever the case maybe. Now more than ever if you are going to wear a pair of sneakers they have to stand out. It cant be just a bland pair that you use as walking sneakers.

If you do need a pair of walking sneakers make sure that they are stylish and make a statement. They are meant to say something, its self expression more than anything else. And ladies YOU CAN wear a pair of sneakers with a dress. People don’t realize that you can easily make your own statement putting the two together. It can give you a bit of that hip hop/punk look because you mixed it up. DON’T BE AFRAID OF SNEAKERS!

I know a lot of ladies feel that sneakers are only for a certain age or time frame. That couldn’t be the furthest thing from the truth. Fashion is fashion, and if Vogue Italia could put a model on the cover wearing a pair of ATO high tops with some Chanel, Roberto Cavalli and Louis Vuitton, then why cant every one else? Now that its summer time, even more of a reason to rock the craziest sneakers to break some necks. For some sick sneakers, check out karmaloop, sneaker freaker, and updates on sneakers check out sneaker set.
