Penneys’ latest runners are a blast from the past

We LOVE them

Cassie Delaney

The joy of a new pair of shoes has not diminished with age.

The array of shoes with additional entertaining features has however.

Velcro ties? Not past the age of 10.

Multi-coloured shoelaces? They’re gone too.

And pressure controlled lights? We haven’t seen them in years.

That is, until now.

Penneys have decided to inject a bit of much-needed joy into our January by bringing back light up runners.

The simple white shoe is adorned with strip lights around the soul and memories of running around in pairs not dissimilar to this have starting flooding back.

While everyday use might be a little extreme, these bróga will be perfect for festival season.

Spotted by Penneys and Pieces of Me, the shoes are currently available in Swords.
