Giving the classic wedge an athletically pumped-up kick, the Marc by Marc Jacobs' 'Calf Dorada Sneaker Wedge' brings some cool summer style. The street-style heeled sneakers come in a variety of bright colors and classic black and white. Straight from the Spring 2012 runway, they can be worn in a variety of different, laid-back ways to amp up your summer wardrobe.
These awesome hybrid kicks spawn from a common desire among fashionistas to revisit athletic-chic, yet still remain feminine and look put-together. If any one designer were to satisfy this need, it would be Marc Jacobs. Styling along the lines of the Spice Girls (can't you see this being a staple of Sporty Spice?), the Marc by Marc Jacobs' Sneaker Wedges are set to be a hit of Jacobs' Spring line.
