Platform Sneakers Are Back!

If you loved your LA Gear chunky high-top sneakers and cried the day you finally had to face parting with them, your dreams have just come true. Platform sneakers, those crazy 90’s step aerobics-inspired footwear staples, are back with a vengeance.

But these aren’t your grandma’s Jazzersize sneaks, oh no. Brands like Fila, Naked Wolfe, Converse, Buffalo, Nike, Steve Madden, Jeffrey Campbell and Modern Girl have all come out with their twist on this old design, with prices ranging anywhere from $65 to over $300.

Yes, they’re so white they’re practically blinding, but you could be blind and not worry about a clash of colors with these suckers. They go with everything.

They make you look taller, i.e. leaner, without the pain of a four-inch heel or the agony of yet another juice cleanse.

Get ready to get noticed, because after you lace up these babies, you will stand up, and out, in a crowd.
