Back in the mid nineties, there were few items more coveted than light up runners.

You would have traded all of your Beanie Babies just to own a pair of luminescent sneakers for five minutes, and a flashing pair made you the coolest kid on the playground.

Well, light up runners are back in a big way, and Penneys is serving up a little slice of nostalgia for just €20.

Penneys showed off the glowing kicks on their Snapchat last night, and we are officially obsessed.

Available in sizes 2-8, these runners definitely aren't just for kids.

Similar styles are currently going for €128 elsewhere, so these "Penneys finest" pairs are a real bargain.

Maybe don't team them with butterfly clips and dungarees though, just in case anyone accuses you of living in a time warp.

The shoes are available in selected stores now, see you in the (well lit) queue.
