Now although we might spend most of our lives in trainers, we never treat them with quite as much respect as they deserve.
That might well be changing though with this new set of high-end 'sneakers' from YSL.
The brainchild of creative director Stefano Pilati, the Spring/Summer collection combines classic style with new detailed finishing. They range from £280 to £425 so automatically demand a level of admiration not usually given to trainers.
You can pick them up at any YSL boutique or from their official site here.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
