...i like my sneakers to have a weird/unexpected colorway! i primarily wear navy or black bottoms + socks tights, so they are a focal point in my outfit. i find it helpful for them to have a black or dark detail (can be anywhere on the shoe) so they tie in with my socks/tights + pants. i feel like if your sneakers are too contrasting with your socks / bottoms (/ ankle area mostly), it looks like your feet could fall off at any minute (other types of shoes dont have that effect as much in my experience) so if you wear primarily lighter colors ... i'd say the sneaks need a light colored detail for them to tie in with the rest of your fit. i bet the cecilie bahnsen asics would look good on you!

honestly i think sneakers go with (mostly) anything! i wear them with jeans, dresses, skirts—sneakers can really change the attitude/feeling/style of an outfit whether that be by dressing it down or making it sportier. and another tip to make sneakers a more exciting part of an outfit is to change out the laces!! i have black adidas sambas and i used to have pink laces in them, which made them sooo much cuter. and now i have black ribbon laces!! good luck on your sneaker outfits 💘🌟🌀

It’s definitely not a (typical?) running sneaker but Hear me out !
I was looking for a new shoe, not a heel or fun thrifty thing, but smth I could wear all the time apart from my docs. I have old running sneakers and have used them for a few yrs now (they’re fine and good.. no issues) whenever I go on runs
But I found out about Keen through Viv Chen’s substack - she recommended these for just having a good trusty and cool looking sneaker that are also used for Hiking! So I was like. Yeah I do walk a lot and I like the look of a cool sneaker let’s do it.
and then I started wearing them to soccer, just wanted to see how they’d feel/if they were comfortable on the pitch etc. and 1. They were totally fine, felt like I was wearing running shoes and 2. I got many many compliments! I honestly can’t wear these anywhere without getting at least one compliment on them. They’re a hit!! And now I’ve been going on runs with them and they feel great. So I highly suggest investing in a pair o these😌🫧🙏🏼. Theres lots of colorway options too - I got these cuz I like writing with a purple pen so.. purple laces it is!

I get asked about this quite a lot from both sneaker + non-sneaker people. They’re a great walking shoe and hold up well to cool dad™️ playground duty. The grey colorway is a nice change of pace from the New Balance 990 that you’ll see on everyone else. And did I mentioned that they’re only $90? Asics has a plethora of great models, but this is the best entry point sneaker that (I think) any athletic brand makes.
