    I'm here to dispel a myth: You may think that fashion people are hesitant to wear sneakers, but that couldn't be further from the truth. In major fashion hubs like NYC and London, people are constantly on the go, and that's why nearly every fashion person has a trusted pair of Adidas. The ever-popular Sambas and sporty Spezials are go-to styles, but Adidas also has some dreamy new arrivals like the Tokyo Mary Janes and Taekwondo Mei Ballet shoes that fashion people are quickly snapping up. (These styles tend to sell out fast.) Keep scrolling to shop my curation of the ultra-chic sneakers that fashion people love.
