Angela’s Lab | These Magical Sneakers Spread Smiles

Sun’s out! And so is school — summer vacation has officially begun at our house. We have a lengthy vacation planned for July, but in the meantime, Christina is starting camp and my grind is the usual (work, errands, pick up… repeat). As it is year round, our go-to everyday shoe is the sneaker. As such, we are always on the lookout for cool new styles and I’m excited to introduce you to our latest find — chameleon kicks! SUNS Shoes is a start-up that has developed super cute sneakers that change color and/or pattern in the sunlight. Each pair also comes with a special UV keychain light that let’s you temporarily “doodle on” your shoes indoors (built-in kid entertainment, mamas!). They look amazing with shorts and denim (natch!) as we are wearing them here, and pair equally well with a summer dress or skirt.

Started by shoe industry veterans from TOMS and Sperry Top-Sider, SUNS Shoes has captured our attention not only because their sneakers are cute and comfy, but also because we love their company mission. An integral part of their corporate goal and culture is to spread positivity by promoting Acts of Kindness (AOK) to make the world a better place. Read more about their thoughts behind spreading positive vibes and smiles on their website.

Here’s how Christina and I wore our SUNS last weekend. These are guaranteed to be on repeat.
