Ever heard that when something hipster becomes too common, it’s no longer hipster? Well, the opposite is true for the new trend in footwear: ugly sneakers. Yup, those chunky, weird and multi-coloured sneakers you thought were made for grandpas are so uncool that they’re actually cool. Please don’t ask us how that is.

Check out how celebs like Bella Hadid, Aimee Song (@songofstyle) and even our home girl Scha Alyahya style their kicks.

Bella Hadid wears the Dior Homme B22 sneakers.

Walked to the Louvre to see @louisvuitton. My feet were thanking me. #lvfw18
