If you love sneakers, it follows that you love spring and that you’ve been waiting eagerly to unbox a few fresh pairs since the beginning of winter. The sun’s starting to re-appear, the weather’s fairer, and it’s now possible to bypass the rugged outsoles and muted, waterproof uppers for the bright beauty of colorful sneakers.
