Sneak Attack

blog-alejandro-ingelmo-christ-benz-sneakers.jpg Is the abundance of pattern on spring runways too much to handle? Take baby steps by dipping your toe into the trend—literally. Alejandro Ingelmo’s floral trainers for Chris Benz are as cheerful as a Monet painting; Pierre Hardy’s snakeskin high-tops are a streetwise rendition of the python stiletto; and Lanvin’s kicks (above; $695–$775) are covered in digital diamond prints.
