Trend Alert: Classic High-Tops Give Our Heels a Run For Their Money

By Desiree Pais

Even before we were reveling in Lanvin's multicolored high-tops for resort 2010, we were feeling nostalgic for our most favorite court shoes of all time. A frequent go-to of Models Off Duty, a good pair of high-tops are a fresh take on the craziest skyscraper heels of the moment. From a basic pair of slick gold Nikes to Lanvin's more understated gray canvas kicks, getting comfy is looking pretty good these days.
