There's no question that kicks have upgraded their game from #GymStyle to #StreetStyle in the last few years. Editors, fashionistas, and celebs are all trading in their stilettos for sneakers, and we're all the more comfortable for it. But with great power comes great responsibility, so it's up to our favorite brands to stay stylish and cool. Just this week, in fact, both Converse and New Balance have revealed some sleek new upgrades for their updated clientele. Trust us, these aren't your little brother's Chucks - or your mom's New Balance.
