This year I’ve been kind of addicted to adding sporty and athletic pieces into my wardrobe. No, I’m not talking about full on track suits. I’m talking about outfits with running shoes, jogger pants, and/or casual t-shirts. Something I hadn’t refreshed in a while was athletic shoes, as in, shoes made for exercise. Rack Room Shoes offered to hook me up with a new pair of my choice, and I fell hard for these Asics Gel Super J33. They’re bright, they’re patterned, and they’re incredibly flexible.
They’re especially convenient for those days when you have more to do than just go to work – like yesterday, when I had to hoof it from my office up the hill to the dentist. That was fun, not. Public Service Announcement: Don’t be dumb like me and avoid the dentist like the plague for 4 years. They scared me last time I was there with threats of wisdom teeth removal, but really I should have just dealt with it. Instead, I have my wisdom teeth still AND 2 new friends in the form of cavities. Awesome.
He loves me. Or something.
Anyways, I’m excited to be collaborating with Rack Room Shoes again (you may remember them from my post where I styled Peep Toe Booties three ways!) This spring, they’re excited about a few great trends like floral patterns, bright colors, and casual comfort shoes, and they’re happy to offer these trends for the whole family. Don’t be surprised if you see a couple of other spring trends from them around here in the next couple of months. ;)

What shoe trends are you excited for this spring? Are you a fan of rocking a fashionable athletic shoe?
Nice kicks, Jenn! I don’t think I’ve ever come across a pair of Asics in this refreshing color combination. It’s very Spring-y! ;)
I thought so too! Very bright and colorful. Thanks Jae!
You two are so cute! I tried running with a dog once and it ended with several band-aids!
Aw, thanks Alissa! Haha, when Rigby was younger he used to trip me while running. Now that he’s older he’s got the hang of it and it’s much more safe ;)
Those are super cute!
Thanks Christine!
I love the bright pop of color the shoes give to the rest of your outfit, but I also really love your jacket and scarf! I did the same thing with waiting to go to the dentist last year and it was not a fun time to say the least!
Thanks Carly! Well, glad I’m not the only one to have a “painful” dentist visit… I had to make 4 appointments for fillings and deep cleanings and follow-ups. So not looking forward to it… Yowch.
Those shoes are so cute! I use Asics for tennis and they always have the best color combos to choose from.
Thanks Ree! They do have some really fun color palettes!
Those shoes are so pretty. I need some new running shoes and you just can’t go wrong with green and pink.
I’ve never tried to rock an athletic shoe with normal shoes. My gym shoes are bright yellow, so not really the kinda thing I think I could get away with wearing with normal clothes. My feet are all about Vans-style shoes.
I love slip-ons too, and would have normally paired that with this outfit but styling bright sneakers was a fun change! Plus, can’t go wrong with the comfort that athletic shoes bring ;)
He is such a sassy model, I love it.
Haha, I know right? He really could care less about the camera.
Cute, love the bright colors! Ugh the dentist, I really need to go too!
Thanks Julia! Ugh, I’m sorry – I hate the dentist and I hope your appointment goes much better than mine! :P
Love those shoes! I like my running shoes to be as bright as possible :)
Thanks Kaelene, me too!
Bright athletic shoes are my super fave. I haven’t been to the dentist in almost five years, because I’m dumb. Now it’s been so long that I’m terrified to go. The only possible upside is that I’m incredibly careful with my day to day dental hygiene.
Yeah, I feel you. I finally bit the bullet and went for it and it was not great but… oh well. I’m sure you’ll be fine if you go, I probably would have fared better if I actually flossed. :P
I LOVE THOSE. I have asics + I am pretty obsessed. they stopped making the specific ones I adore, so I’m scared to try new ones. I love how you styled them though!!
Thanks Kasey! Hopefully you’ll be able to find some new ones you like just as much as your old ones! :)
Love these super bright sneaks, and Rigby of course!
Thanks Jamie! :)
LOVE those shoes!! They are super cute. I’m a huge Asics fan for my runners/joggers so I’ll have to keep an eye out for these :)
Thanks Rosie! :)
I’m always a fan of a fashionable athletic shoe! I much prefer to walk places than drive, so I have a few pairs of fun Nikes and patterned slip on sneakers that are my go to. I’m loving the colors on those Asics!

Thanks Maddy! Agreed, fun printed slip-ons and bright sneakers are so much fun!
Very cute and comfy-looking! And I’m bad about going to the dentist too. Shh, don’t tell.
Thanks Rebecca! Haha! I won’t :)
basically those are ADORABLE! I love really cute running shoe. I’m in desperate need of a new pair too. I love how you paired these with your outfit.
Thanks Melissa! :)
Cute shoes! Even cuter dog lol
Haha, thanks Stevie! :)
Love how bright these are! I’m in the need of some new kicks for summer in CA; I plan to do some running/biking with Rosie pup! I wore my sneakers all day today while lugging boxes to the storage unit and I forgot how comfty they can be!
Thanks Chelsie! I know, I want to live in sneakers now…. so comfy, and I always forget that too!
I have pink Asics and I absolutely love them!
Ah that’s awesome! Pink is such a great color for athletic shoes!
I’m loving how you styled this simple look, your sneakers are such a fun pop of color!!

Thanks Courtney! I like the pop of color too :)
LOVE how you styled these fun coloured kicks! What’s the support like on these shoes? I’m in the market for a new pair of sneakers and would love to jump on the bright coloured kicks train ;) My only issue is that a lot of these shoes, while beautiful, are also minimalist – or sometimes considered barefoot – runners. As someone who needs a bit more arch support, would love to know your take on this aspect of the shoes.
Thanks Katrina! These are definitely in the lightweight category, so unfortunately these probably wouldn’t work for you. :( Bummer!
thanks for the head’s up! Super great to know– gosh so jealous of everyone’s beautiful runners :)
