Sneakers for fashion are officially here to stay. While some people are saying that wedge sneakers will soon lose their charm, we don’t see this happening in 2014. Hi-top (non-wedge) classics, our perennial favorites, will likely remain just as popular as well.

We actually find it hard to believe that high heel tennis shoes (especially wedge sneakers) will lose their popularity soon because celebrities are still making them happen.

Celebrities from London to Hollywood have been making sporty footwear their go-to shoes for running errands, traveling, and whatnot. We’re not surprised, really. After all, sneakers, are a lot like ballet flats — very comfortable — with the additional benefit of keeping your feet warm and protected.

Check out the following ladies spotted sporting their kicks in the last two days. Maybe you should take this as your cue to take out your sneakers for a spin today.

1. Jessie J in Jimmy Choo

Jessie J was spotted out and about in Soho, New York City, while decked in fur and a pair of glimmering mixed-media wedge sneakers from Jimmy Choo — the “Panama.”

Jessie’s Panama sneakers come in several renditions. These shoes are crafted from a mix of suede, patent, and metallic leather.

They also feature 4.5-inch-tall wedge heels, lace-up closures, and classic rubber outer soles. You can score a similar pair at Nordstrom.

If you’re not fond of wedge heels, Bluefly currently offers the non-wedge hi-top versions of the Panama on their site right now. They’re slightly cheaper than those at full retail price, so they might be worth considering.

We can’t say that this outfit was her best, but she somehow magically pulled it off.

Sarah’s Philippe Model sneakers can be found at Farfetch. These sporty kicks are made of suede and leather and feature a combination of lace-up and Velcro fasteners. The wedge heels are about 4 inches tall, so they’re pretty comfortable to walk in.

If you don’t mind shopping at stores based in Europe (in which case, shipping may cost you), feel free to order these sneakers in your size. They retail at $326.

4. Kendall Jenner in Chunky Red Hi-Tops

Another lady we found sporting some hi-top sneakers while out and about in Hollywood was Kendall Jenner. The reality-TV-star-turned-model wore a pair of chunky poppy-coral-hued hi-tops with her very casual ensemble.
