STYLE | 10 Best Women's Sneakers You Need In Your Collection For 2017

by Sole Finess

Here's a semi-relevant fact:

Today, there are tons of beautiful sneakers made exclusively for women.

In this blog post, we are going to list out the 10 best women's sneakers you need in your collection for 2017 (and forever, perhaps)

Overview

Sneaker culture was once a battle of ego amongst hypebeasts; a group of fashion enthusiasts who lived and breathed streetwear.

Jordans, Yeezy's, NMD's. All of these sneaker collections have become so integrated into our culture over the past few years that no one actually calls sneakers "sneakers" anymore.

7-8 years back, sneaker fanatics were primarily men. You'd be hard pressed to find sneakers made for women that were on par with their male counterparts.

In regard to the semi-relevant fact, that alone shows you how sneaker culture has changed and evolved over time.

Without further ado, let's move on to the first entry in our list.

Nike Women's Air VaporMax Triple White

In collaboration with the most successful Nike Air Max Day since the sportswear mammoth's existence, Nike released the stunning Nike Air VaporMax to much fanfare.

The VaporMax family of Nike shoes were constructed with Flyknit technology - something that Nike has been pushing heavily with their newer models.

Just a few days ago, they announced the release of the Triple White VaporMax, a women's only variant.

What's good: Extremely fresh and very clean design, lightweight, durable and strong with the aid of Nike Flyknit technology.

Price: $190 (Note: Nike has not announced an official release date for the sneaker yet)

Vans Sk8-Hi Slim Speckle Jersey Blue

The last entry in our list would be none other than the beloved Vans Sk8-Hi's.

While the Old Skool model that we covered earlier was technically the essential Vans shoe, the Sk8-Hi's we feel are definitely on that very same level.

Sporting a cozy speckled light blue marle hue, the Sk8-Hi's are great when matched with ripped jeans which were in trend partly due to Jerry Lorenzo's ingenuity in the fashion industry.

What's good: Rugged fashion-wise and durability-wise too, fits very comfortably, better price point when compared to other high-tops which look just as good as the Sk8-Hi's.
