Compared to Rihanna and Dakota Johnson, I'm a baby sneakerhead. I don't even own Adidas Sambas yet. I know I've been missing out: Slim sneakers are staples in any collector's starter pack. Sure, my chunky, dad-ish trainers are trending, but their slender rivals never fully went away.
To start my skinny sneaker era, I wanted a fun, fresh pair I wouldn't spot more than once on any given street. Something brand-new, so when people ask me where they're from, I can introduce them to a style they hadn't heard of yet. As of its launch last week, that style is Alo Yoga's Sunset Sneaker.
