Sure, you can get on a treadmill in heels and *possibly* end up with amazing calf muscles\u2014but you more likely run the risk of ending up with a serious injury. The <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/justin-bieber-crocs-victoria-beckham\/\">aversion to the sneaker<\/a> probably stemmed from their functionality aspect: no one wants to wear something because they have to or because it &#8220;makes sense.&#8221; If they do, it&#8217;s automatically undesirable. Think about it: the commuter shoe of choice was a sneaker (think <em>Working Girl<\/em>) and you&#8217;d change out of them as soon as you got the chance. But recently, sneakers have become a coveted style choice. Season after season, the sneaker has been reimagined to be an exciting footwear option instead of one that&#8217;s merely necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The ugly dad sneaker has reigned supreme for several seasons, with designers like <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/gucci-balenciaga-aria-collaboration\/\">Balenciaga<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/kanye-west-netflix-doccumentary\/\">Yeezy<\/a> releasing their dominating iterations of the trend. But despite the popularity of the chunky and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/kanye-west-is-making-yeezy-more-sustainable-by-creating-shoes-made-from-algae\/\">ugly trend<\/a>, signature styles\u2014\u00e0 la Adidas Gazelles and classic Vans, and more recently designer collaborations\u2014are finding favour with the fashion community, too. These newer fashion-forward styles are solidifying the fact that sneakers aren&#8217;t just about performance and functionality anymore; they are just as much of an outfit maker as your heels and sandals. Sneakerheads everywhere have been screaming about this and we&#8217;re finally listening. We&#8217;ve rounded up a mix of the best styles you can get now so you&#8217;ll always look good no matter what kicks you choose to wear.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21138\"
