When I first visited Paris in the ‘90s, you’d be as likely to see a Parisienne dressed as Uncle Sam as wearing a pair of sneakers. Loafers, sandals and Audrey Hepburn-appropriate ballet flats only were permissible, lest you appear to be a tourist or some sort of dogged professional. Wearing sneakers, someone was “sure that locals were looking at them in a pitying kind of manner, thinking, ‘those poor Anglo-Saxons and their rat-wheel ways,” as Katrina Lawrence writes in Paris for Dreamers. Today however, ooh la la, the French have joined the global fashion herd, practically marching in tune to La Marseillaise as they mill about from the Tuileries to Paris Fashion Week in athletic footwear. However, the shoes are not just any old running shoe, they’re chosen and paired with clothes in really cool ways, per everything in their French capsule wardrobe. Here’s what I’m seeing on fashionable French feet these days, sporting edition.
