These May 2017 footwear trends incorporate everything from high fashion stilettos to reworked vintage sneakers.
For sneaker fanatics that are constantly searching for accessories to add to their wardrobes, the 'Sneakerbox Subscription' is the perfect resource. Although the boxes don't come with actual sneakers inside, they come with unique laces, key chains, pins, cleaners, and even apparel to tie sneaker-focused ensembles together.
Also included in these May 2017 footwear trends are the reflector-heel ankle boots that were created by Vetements. The boots follow the designer brand's sock-like footwear launch that replaced traditional heels with lighters. Similarly, reflectors that are normally found on cars and bikes are integrated into the design, making for a unique accessory that draws attention to the wearer.
