A sporty shoe that the fashion crowd has made its own comes from Asics.

Our senior shopping editor, Bianca Nieves, shares she practically lives in hers.

There are a lot of New Balance sneakers out there, and while most of them are pretty great, fashion and beauty writer Asia Milia Ware assures us these are the most comfortable.

Yellow sneakers are hot right now, and it’s probably the best way to brighten up a gloomy day or not-so-fun outfit. Onitsuka Tiger’s best-selling Kill Bill colorway is an easy option that will mix and match with anything. Editorial assistant Brooke LaMantia also swears by the metallic-silver pair.

Ever heard of corn leather? Now you have. Other materials that make up these sneakers include natural rubber, wood chips, and certified organic cotton.

With an upper made from recycled leather and an insole made of recycled rubber, the whole shoe is made with sustainable practices in mind. When you get as much wear out of them as you possibly can, the brand encourages you to mail them back so it can reuse the materials, and you’ll get $20 toward your next pair as an incentive.
