I may not be SheKnows’ resident sneakerhead (that’s our Shopping Writer!), but I’ve tried my fair share of sneakers throughout the years and have even taken some for major test runs. While I definitely have my favorite brands and styles, a new sneaker launch needs to have that little something special to catch my interest. When VIVAIA’s Cristina “Sneakerina” ballet sneakers came across my inbox, I honestly didn’t know what to think. I was super intrigued by it being a ballet shoe-sneaker hybrid, not to mention, its retro-chic look. Plus, VIVAIA is known for creating some of the comfiest shoes out there, it just seemed like something I had to try. And it seems like I wasn’t the only one to think so.

Since it first released back in February this year, the VIVAIA Cristina ballet sneakers have already sold out four times. That’s four times in two months! The shoes went viral after being spotted on Bella Hadid, and TikTokers have been raving over how comfy and cute they are since. As someone who owns a pair, I can confirm, these are surprisingly comfortable to wear. I wore these nearly all day, with a lot of walking and standing, and had no issues at all.

After selling out numerous times, these ballet sneakers just had a major restock. If you want to get your hands on a pair, you’ll want to act fast. Some sizes and colors are already selling out, so they’re on their way to another sell out.

The VIVAIA Cristina ‘Sneakerina’ Ballet Sneakers are exactly what the name suggests: part ballet shoe, part sneakers. The Cristina, in particular, really embodies a ballet shoe thanks to its stylish square tow. or a more retro-inspired look, you can also go with the Yanka, which features a more rounded toe. The shoe itself is made of a smooth fabric that looks and feels super luxe, and it also features a triple-layer sole for all-day comfort. The Cristina comes with two types of shoelaces for you to create the look you want, though you can also purchase additional laces in other colors.

I personally love how lightweight and flexible these are. You can easily fold them up and pack them in your suitcase for travel, which is a major plus. They’re also highly versatile. You can wear them with pretty much anything from from dresses to jeans. It’s no wonder it quickly became popular. There’s just so much to love about them.

As if a major restock wasn’t enough, the VIVAIA Cristina “Sneakerinas” also dropped a new option in this season’s trendiest color: Butter Yellow. That’s in addition to the four other colors that are currently available to shop.

“Best shoes,” wrote one shopper. “Love them! Like walking on a cloud. Going to grab a pair in black and maybe boots next!”

Another reviewer who raved about the VIVAIA Cristina wrote, “Surprisingly soft and comfortable. They fit perfectly on my narrow feet and look so beautiful. I just need to learn what to do with the length of the front lace.”

Lastly, one reviewer wrote, “Got a lot of compliments wearing these ballerina flats to the Hermes store! They’re so comfy and cute. Might get it in another color too!”

So, if you want to see what all the hype is about, be sure to grab a pair of the VIVAIA Cristina ‘Sneakerina’ Ballet Sneakers today. Once again, these sold out multiple times before and I’m sure it’s set to sell out real soon. Don’t miss out!
