With three quarters of the year still ahead of us, it’s not too late to add 2018’s trendiest staple to your wardrobe: the sneaker! Everyone (and we mean EVERYONE) is coming aboard this particular Love Boat—even Spanish shoe designer Manolo Blahnik admitted this year in Porter magazine that he was including casual kicks in his top six “essentials” list.
Indeed, top fashion designers—Balenciaga and Gucci included—are steadily expanding into this emerging trend. Among the most popular sneaker styles we’ve seen on the runways: plain white pumped up with exaggerated soles, pastels, prints and the occasional metallic—even corduroy and ruffled numbers! With so many options to choose from, we asked Bonney Rempel, Senior Marketing Director and Fashion Trend Follower for Oakridge Centre in Vancouver, to narrow it down to her top must-have favourites—all available at Oakridge retailers! —Vita Daily
