Hi-top sneakers are coming back in full force this year. Since the beginning of last year, people have started to catch onto hi-top sneakers due to the skinny jeans trend. Since previously you were not able to tuck in your jeans into your sneakers, skinny jeans have provided a way to do so. Even artist like Kanye West have been an advocate of hi-top sneakers wearing them to events such as the Grammys. Here are the new Nike Womens Blazer Mid Plus. Even though these are for the girls, the floral patterns make them look pretty nice. They come in two colorways, grey and gold. Something nice for your female friend or for yourself (if you’re a girl reading this). Available now at Overkill Berlin.
