Spice Girl Platform Sneaker Back In Style
The ongoing ’90s revival has already brought back Birkenstocks, bindis, crop tops, harem pants, and slap bracelets. But now, there’s one more to add to the list: Spice Girl sneakers. Platform sneakers—a hallmark of the Spice Girls’s inimitable wardrobes—have returned in a diverse array of styles whose references range from Hot Topic punk to tennis-y whites. While Baby Spice Emma Bunton’s shoes may have leveled out at up to six inches, the new platform sneaks clock in at a more modest inch to inch and a half. “It’s elegant and not as clunky as the Spice Girls’s shoes,†explained Zina Zegans, fashion director at Superga US. The Italian sneaker brand recently reissued its platform sneakers stateside—a style it initially released in 1996.
