I’ve already been scooped by the Huffington Post and the New York Daily News, which have appropriately asked if it was in poor taste that the First Lady wore a pair of $540 grey and pink designer sneakers to a food bank that provides low-income individuals and families with food?
Michelle Obama Lanvin sneakers.
I think it’s safe to say that Mrs. Obama didn’t think her fly Lanvin kicks would cause such a stir. But I suspect she’ll be making a trip to J. Crew or the Gap sometime soon to see what more affordable sneaker options they have.

Here is a trendy sneaker look-for-less from Nike ($100, Nordstrom) Michelle might consider:

I love pink and grey!
So not the same, why can’t the First Lady wear Lanvin kicks??!??!?!

Hi Kweli,
Nice to catch up with you, and I really like your blog. Of course, Michelle O can wear what she wants. She’s just become known as the “People’s First Lady” by wearing clothes from J. Crew, etc the average working woman can afford, so I offered a more accessible alternative. Style wise, the Nike sneaks aren’t nearly as trendy. But then again, I’m not really that crazy about the Lanvin sneaks and wouldn’t even pay $50 for them.

I know everything these days seems to be about fashion and what other people have that maybe we don’t, but really, a pair of sneaks on the First Lady. It would seem that people should pay more attention to what the First Lady or Anyone with a Title Or Not is wearing as long as they are trying to do some good for the people… Why has everything got to be about products/wears/or money and not about helping others less fortunate…
