FASHION FIX: The Spring Court sneaker makes a comeback

The Spring Court tennis sneaker is on the rise again. Born in 1936, the sneaker was originally worn by Frenchie tennis ballers back in the day but crossed over into pop culture consciousness when John Lennon rocked a white pair with a suit on the cover of the Beatles' album Abbey Road.


The shoe's trademark features are the four holes on the either side of the sole which combined with the removal insole and arch support provide natural ventilation. No more sweaty feet! And the sneakers come in a cool tin box with graphic sketching.


Check out the site here. The US site even hosts a section called tennis anyone? which is supposed to allow you to play some tennis but it's more like Pong. Oh well - I still love the sneaks.
