The latest trend in women's casual footwear is jumping off the top rope! No faking here, the wrestling shoe is popping up everywhere. Typical wrestling shoes go on like a slipper, are feather light and extremely flexible for maximum traction and wiggle. What we're seeing around is a little different, a hybrid design taking a basketball high-top and stretching it to the the heights of a wrestling shoe upper--a few inches higher than a conventional basketball high-top, with lacing all the way up--combined with more substantial sneaker soles for use off the mat (walking city blocks in real wrestling shoe soles is no fun).

Borrowing inspiration from this season's men's trends, these Creative Recreation Galow Hi Top Sneakers are a welcome Freestyle and Avant Casual option for the ladies. If you love cool unisex trends, it doesn't get any edgier than wrestling shoes!
