This Pretty Spring Sneaker Trend Just Hit Me Over the Head
Thanks to the S/S 18 runways, the lavender addiction that I experienced as a child is back with a vengeance. I strongly believe that a prettier color doesn't exist, so I couldn't be happier with the fact that everywhere I look (at least in the vast land of retail) is another lovely lavender piece for me to covet.
As I just discovered, this includes sneakers, and I'm going to go ahead and name lavender the prettiest sneaker trend of the season. After spotting one pair of lavender sneakers (the Allbirds option below), my subsequent search led me down a rabbit hole of dozens of sporty kicks in the pastel hue.
Since it's now my mission to strengthen this budding sneaker trend, I narrowed the internet's offerings down to the cream of the crop. Among them are athletic styles, classic styles, and fashion styles. Pick your (very pretty) poison below.
Available in sizes 5 to 15.
