Just when I finally got myself to stop wearing sneaks and start wearing heels and other fashionable shoes, sneakers go mainstream cool! It's ironic, really. The girl who used to live in black Puma mostros now refuses to wear anything with a heel below 1.5 inches.

But never mind that. We still respect and admire a beautiful, super phat gym shoe, one that embodies urban street style, intelligence and comfort. That's why we love the REBIRTH MESH by j-41 from Lucy.com, on sale for $54.99. It's funky and metallic, one of this season's hottest trends, and can be sported with capris, pants, jeans, even casual skirts ( preferably pencil). Wear them on behalf of all of us fools enduring our high heels.
