Morag Grealy gives us the heads up on sneaker fashion

Sneakers are making their way into the fashion-savvy world

- BY MORAG GREALY, FASHION COLUMNIST GREALY

It’s not often the fashion and comfort worlds intersect — “pain is beauty” and all that, right?

However, in case you hadn’t noticed the recent fashion sneaker epidemic has kind of turned this notion on its head.

And with the latest seasons runway shows (and street style crews alike) it’s been taken to a whole new unexpected level.

Right now, it’s move aside round-toe sneaker trend, incoming are legit exercise shoes!

That’s right, the shoes you wear to jog in are now the it shoes to pair with just about any fashionabl­e outfit.

Seriously, just ask Louis Vuitton, Vetements and Celine.

You know when you used to snigger at corporate workers who changed into running shoes with their work outfit?

Well, that’s a look that’s now not only accepted in fashion circles but the height of progressiv­e fashion!

That sneaker and jeans look that Jerry Seinfeld will never live down? Also totally in right now.

All of a sudden your dorky Nike’s that have long been relegated to the back of the wardrobe are now on trend?

Yup, pair them with a ballgown and you’re good to go!

The best bit? Current fashion is practicall­y begging us to move more!

And we may as well take advantage of this, as with fickle fashion industry, who knows how long this will stick around.

Tie up your laces and walk to your next coffee date, to and from work and basically get around by foot without compromisi­ng on your style — now couldn’t be a more ideal time to get fashionabl­y fit.
