Editor’s Notes: Though the peak of the sock sneaker trend has come and (mostly) gone, there are a few notable efforts still available to purchase online. One such is the above Mizuno INFINITY WAVE-equipped knit sneaker. It features a high-top ankle construction made entirely out of knit material. Where the upper is safe, and rather muted, the sole unit is the real MVP of this shoe. Built on the Japanese brand’s INFINITY WAVE cushioning system, the sneaker looks like it features springs along the sole, ready to turn any wearer into Inspector Gadget.
