At the WaffleWorks Innovation Center on the Vans campus in Costa Mesa, Calif., I’m watching through a tiny oven window as a glossy black crocodile print (my choice) is being “cooked” onto a pair of clean white canvas shoes. The experimental new Vans custom process needs a 150°C “oven” and all of five minutes, which […]

Sneakers are getting mileage this spring—both on and off the treadmill. The fashion set is pairing sporty kicks with anything and everything (A Chanel ensemble with tweed lace-ups? Yes, please!) While choosing footwear to complement your #ootd is a matter of taste, decoding what shoe fits your workout can seem daunting. Barefoot style or thick soled? Minimalist or supportive? Here are some tips on navigating the shoe wall from Colin Dombroski, PhD, pedorthist (expert in orthotics and footwear), and clinical and research director of SoleScience in London, Ont.

Preview the Reebok Classic x Alicia Keys Summer 2013 collection »

In the midst of her Girl on Fire world tour, we sat down with Alicia Keys in New York (looking very uptown-downtown in a printed Givenchy shirt and sneakers—the new A.Keys wedge from her fall Reebok collection) to talk Crossfit, vitamins and being a slave to fashion.

She was ahead of the curve on the sneaker resurgence:
“When I was a kid, I’d get the Reebok Freestyle sneakers because they were a good price range, multiple colours and I could match them with my jacket and shirt. In 2002 or 2003, I did a song called ‘If I Ain’t Got You.’ For the video, we were in Harlem and I brought the Freestyle and I painted it purple. I thought, ‘Man, it’d be cool to bring the sneaker back.’”

Ever the pioneer in getting us to run faster, farther and more frequently, Nike has launched a futuristic new running shoe that weighs in at less than eight ounces. The Flyknit Lunar1+ ($195, nike.com) fits like a second skin—it almost feels like wearing socks—with cushiony Lunarlon, a resilient foam that keeps runners’ soles supported and comfortable. The upper part of the shoe is nearly seamless, which cuts down on materials by a claimed 80 per cent. Nike’s Toronto flagship on Bloor Street is home to its only machine in Canada that steams the shoes before fitting them perfectly to each unique pair of feet; even after removing the shoes an outline of your toes will be visible (Canadian Olympic triathlete Paula Findlay was first in line to test the shoes, remarking how well they molded to her feet before taking them out for a winter jog). And the only thing better than putting on a toasty pair of kicks is the neon colour combos they come in. —Caitlin Agnew

Surprise! The premium denim market was overinflated. “Charging $600 for jeans for no reason at all — those days are over,” You Nguyen of Levi’s told the New York Times. Ridiculous, right? You can buy a whole Where the Wild Things Are jumpsuit for that. Much more sensible. [NYTimes]
