FROM THE DESIGNER
Behind the Design: Spring Platform Sneakers
Ever wonder what it's like to design this season's must-have shoes? From trend research to sketches to samples, LifeStride’s new Design Director Tague Austin and her team puts their passion for must-have style and comfort into every pair.
Here, Tague takes us behind the design of spring’s newest hybrid slip-on sneakers: the Impact, Impulse, and Intuition. With sporty styling, an insanely lightweight feel, and Bzees Air Step comfort technology, you’ll love wearing these Bzees shoes traveling or as your everyday go-to’s.
What makes these sneakers special?
“Our ‘I’ sneaker series is the latest take on the platform sneaker trend, but in a fresh and sporty way you’ll only find with Bzees Air Step. You’re getting a little bit more height than a normal sneaker, but what we do in sneakers with Bzees Air Step technology is we give you all that height and lift but keep them super lightweight. I also love how they have extra shock absorption and arch support for all-day comfort, and you can choose versions with sleek stretch laces, a sporty lace-up look, or a classic Mary Jane strap to fit your style.”
How would you recommend styling it?
“When it comes to styling these sneakers, they have the perfect mix of now-trending sport accents with incredible versatility. The flatform design make them wearable for everything from an on-the-go athleisure look to even dressing them up with a fun outfit. They’re perfect for travel too since they weigh so little, will keep you comfortable all day, and look great with everything.”
