Normally, I shy away from characters on clothing, but even I have to say admit that the Sesame Street New Balance collection are frickin’ cute shoes.

If Elmo isn’t your fave, Cookie Monster and Oscar versions are also available. In addition to the charaters on the toe, they feature character-related details on the tongue, heel and soles of each pair. Unlike most character-covered shoes, these bad boys are New Balance-made, which means they’ll actually support your lil' monsters' arches. You can find info about the shoes on the New Balance website, or play an interactive shoelace-tying game, but to pick up a pair you gotta go to a Kids Foot Locker.
