Head out into the street, and you may find it hard to believe that Spring is right around that icy, slushy, snowy corner. But any minute now, you’ll need serious transitional footwear. The sneaker movement is charging ahead full steam, and the perfect Spring into Summer shoe gives you plenty of style choices.
Maybe you’re still looking to score Adidas Stan Smith Honeycomb Gloss. Or you plan to follow Gigi Hadid’s step into the Reebok #PerfectNever movement. No matter where you set foot, there’s a sneaker design that’s waiting to find a niche in your closet.
