Chanel Sneakers: Haute or Not?

This past runway season we saw both Chanel and Dior send sneakers down the runway.  Honestly, I was a bit shocked!  Karl Lagerfeld, creative director for Chanel, stated, "You can be in fashion without being a victim."  I like the concept but I'm not the biggest fan of the execution. What do you think about Chanel Sneakers? Haute or not?  I think I'll stick to my sleek Nike Frees for now!
