Fashion quandary: For a while now, upscale, up-priced trainers/sneakers have been trending. Recently, one of my girlfriends — with a generous collection of Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Prada sneakers — has been trying to convince me this is something I also need to purchase.
But by their very nature, athletic shoes are utilitarian. Does the addition of logos and/or recognizable elements make them more stylish? Or does it signal “fashion victim” and unpaid shill for the brand?
What do you think??

I avoid designer items with external repetitive and oversized logos, they make me think of a walking billboards, but hey each their own.

I’m with you re: obvious logos, and especially seeing the brand name, though I don’t mind brand-recognizable elements like the Chanel CC if it’s discreet. Thanks for reading and commenting!
