It’s no secret that sneakers have made their mark in the world of casual street style attire. They’ve become so common that one might buy a pair to simply sport around town with absolutely no intention to work out in them. The functionality of the style has a dual purpose and it makes sense – FINALLY, women are wearing comfortable and rather sensible shoes to parade around town with. I’d be lying if I said I see more than two pairs of heels on the concrete each day I walk to and from work..

The sleekness of an all-black sneaker grabs my attention, as well as matches up with almost every pair of pant in my closet. Rather than the typical Nike you see time and time again, this Brazilian-based sneaker is made for the street style ballerina that prefers to be light on her feet while breaking conformity and staying in-fashion. It’s nice to know that those days I’m running behind and still need to make an approachable appearance, a casual sneaker can serve to be stylish. Shop similar below:
