You've most likely noticed the recent invasion of luxury designer branded trainers in the fashion scene, and of course trickling down to the streets of style. Brands such as Isabel Marant, Miu Miu, Pierre Hardy and of course our dear beloved Karl for Net-a-Porter, have used some of their fashion forward tricks to stir some unexpected and unique kicks in a new-found popular canvas: the high-top sneaker. And so the time came to rebuke all assumptions characterizing fashion as a purely whimsical art form: fusing forward fashion footwear with the active market definitely bridges the gap between  function and fashion.
