High-top sneakers, the perfect alternative to boots in spring

The fact that the spring-summer season is already appearing does not mean that strappy sandals and flip-flops will reign immediately. On the contrary, halftime is the ideal time to fully exploit the potential of trendy sneakers... and one model seems to stand out from the rest. In 2021, we will put aside the extra chunky sneakers to focus, rather, on retro designs, whose validity has already passed the test of time. Those sneakers with a smooth sole, a somewhat thick platform and a high cane were invented by and for the basketball stars. Currently, high-top sneakers continue to be the supreme trend in footwear, gaining popularity among the most viral fashion experts, such as Chiara Ferragni or Paula Echevarría. Therefore, they are a sure hit today, tomorrow and always.
