Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx announces her latest venture which is Sneex, a line of high-heeled sneakers with a hybrid design and comfort focus. She noted in an interview with Vogue, “I own stilettos and I own sneakers already, but I don’t own the combination of the two. As a consumer, I wanted the combination of the two."
The silhouettes are secured in various options: in a single strap, double strap, or a wide strap. It is currently available to shop now in colorways that are bold or muted. Some of these include an off-white and black or oyster for a more quiet look or blue and burgundy, silver, or Varsity green to make a statement.
