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’m an avid collector of fun shoes. If it’s interesting and fits my style I’ll wear it.
I’m not usually into bright colors but I’ll let this orange slide lol. (pun fully intended!)
I think these are from SHEIN. I personally wouldn’t know bc I don’t shop there.
(I usually thrift from market days)
But they have that SHEIN vibe abt them.

...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!

after having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I can’t get this thought (truth) out of my head — hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didn’t before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now I’m 24/7 yapping about menstruation/women’s health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!

I liked finding out that this is a word/thing cuz I totally relate. I just love (going to or hosting) events (apartment housewarmings, dj sets, dinners, breakfasts, movie nights, whatever it may be..). if it's a thing that's happening and I'm with/inviting friends, it's An Event idc!
