Put a bounce in your step with the Freeminder sneakers from Longchamp.

After a period of fashion sneakers – that is, designed by a luxury fashion house – that had gotten increasingly outre and novel, we’re coming back down to earth with more straightforward, sensible designs.

Here is a pick of 14 of the best that you can go out and get right now.
