Ever since Rose Quartz was announced as one of the two colours of the year (besides Serenity), designers are growing more comfortable with using these gentle shades in many of their designs. Blush pink can be easily injected into a monochrome outfit for a subtle pop of colour – it’s honestly one of the more versatile colours to wear.
If you are still on the fence about the idea of pink sneakers, here are a few picks that might just help you change your mind.
1. adidas Originals
