Here's a semi-relevant fact:
Today, there are tons of beautiful sneakers made exclusively for women.
In this blog post, we are going to list out the 10 best women's sneakers you need in your collection for 2017 (and forever, perhaps)
Overview
Sneaker culture was once a battle of ego amongst hypebeasts; a group of fashion enthusiasts who lived and breathed streetwear.
Jordans, Yeezy's, NMD's. All of these sneaker collections have become so integrated into our culture over the past few years that no one actually calls sneakers "sneakers" anymore.
7-8 years back, sneaker fanatics were primarily men. You'd be hard pressed to find sneakers made for women that were on par with their male counterparts.
In regard to the semi-relevant fact, that alone shows you how sneaker culture has changed and evolved over time.
Without further ado, let's move on to the first entry in our list.

Adidas Stan Smith Premium Black/White
The ubiquitous Stan Smith models of Adidas sneakers have gotten a bit of a bad rep due to it virtually being seen everywhere.

New Balance has seen a much-needed resurgence after many years of being seen as the lesser alternative to giant sneaker brands.
With the trademarked "N" logo on the side of the shoes, the latest addition to the New Balance family, the 247 is extremely comfortable on your feet - something that is consistent across every New Balance shoe.

Reebok makes their entry into the list with a daring mint green selection.

It doesn't just look great for casual wear, the EQT's are also very good for athletic activities. The sole allows for extra bounciness and comfort while running which reduces the strain your knees and ankles.

Vans Sk8-Hi Slim Speckle Jersey Blue
The last entry in our list would be none other than the beloved Vans Sk8-Hi's.
While the Old Skool model that we covered earlier was technically the essential Vans shoe, the Sk8-Hi's we feel are definitely on that very same level.
Sporting a cozy speckled light blue marle hue, the Sk8-Hi's are great when matched with ripped jeans which were in trend partly due to Jerry Lorenzo's ingenuity in the fashion industry.
What's good: Rugged fashion-wise and durability-wise too, fits very comfortably, better price point when compared to other high-tops which look just as good as the Sk8-Hi's.
