First of all, I always think it's weird when uber designers issue a version of something like a sneaker and then sell them for $2K. There's something wildly disingenuous about it. Cute and trend setting, but…off, and not in a brilliant way off. Sneaker snobbery has already gone far enough, sez me. Cue Marc by Marc Jacobs and Chanel, in that order below:

Look for knock offs galore at any mall in America and probably Chez Target:-)
All trashing aside - here are ones I LOVE:
1st of all, as a California girl I will forever be devoted to my beloved Vans. And when they collaborated with Star Wars this year I was ecstatic. Even a Mom like me can pull these bad boys off with a little skirt + leather jacket or jeans + T...

| Oh Han Solo and Boba…..how do I love thee? |
 |
| Nothin' and I mean nothin' beats the classic Slip-on |
And… in the leather category - how about these darlings?
They come in white too - perfect for end of summer transitions. I just discovered the blogger Chiara Ferragni of The Blond Salad and she has super cool shoes! The slippers with a winking eye are to die, but these = = = FAB, period.

| The Lana - also in white |

| the Drew - also in white. |
#SneakerSnobberySucks. Everyone has been copying Vans now for the past few seasons, but nothing can compare :) I treasure my KISS Rock and Roll Over ones, and now have the Star Wars ones. Word to the wise, though - buy in multiples because they sell out and are discontinued quickly!
