Misconceptions of high-fashion brands being too fancy is understandable, but the Chanel Spring 2012 Sneakers show that even luxurious companies know how to take a step back.
To some, it may be a surprise to see the Chanel Spring 2012 Sneakers come from the French fashion power house. The product is quite casual; in fact, it looks like something Asics would release. Next year the company will be launching two different styles with a white upper that has patches of different colors for a rainbow look. There's the standard low-top with laces and a high-top that has a strap integrated on the top. The sneakers will be a part of Chanel's sporty spring collection next year. It'll include vests, jackets and more in addition to the footwear.
