There’s always that one guy who thinks it’s okay to wear his gym sneakers out to the bar. You know the ones; those oversized-white-marshmallow-high-tops he blatantly got off the clearance rack. Maybe it’s because he never had time to change from the game or possibly he never thought of the option of wearing different clothes for different events.
When pairing your clothes with your shoes, you want to make sure you keep it simple. A pair of Chucks can work well into your wardrobe because they are very versatile. Keep it a neutral color and this will allow you to get more wear out of it. There’s a reason these sneakers hardly ever changed since their birth. They introduced colors to their All Star high tops in the 1950’s with the introduction of Rock & Roll and the newly National Basketball Association. In the futuristic film, ‘I’ Robot’ taking place in the year 2035, Will Smith’s character proudly laces up his pair of leather Chucks.
They are just as relevant in the past as they will be in the future. Chucks are classics who need not much change. They go great with a pair of jeans and look better with age as they wear and tear. Newly designed sneakers come pre-scuffed for a vintage look that you have been around the block without ever stepping foot in them. This may be the only pair of sneakers I don’t recommend you get out that shoe polish and start cleaning!

Canvas or Leather?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the person. Canvas is more traditional, but leather updates the sneaker and is more trendy.
