Ever heard the saying, “the first thing a women notices about a man’s outfit is his shoes”? Well a similar saying is also true of men, because the first thing we notice about another man is his trainers. The wrong pair of mens trainers can break an outfit pushing their owner into fashion oblivion.
The humble mens trainer has come a long way since its sporting incarnation, becoming a key part of many trends. Choosing the right pair of wheels can be the difference between fashion front runner and a being left on the bench. So to help you through this minefield, below is a quick summary of what key styles say about you.
Sports Fashion – Great examples of this are the Nike Air Max 95 and Nike Shox which were originally designed as sports shoes using the latest in sports technology. These trainers offer the user the best in comfort and performance and send a message that not only is the wearer stylish, they are just at home shifting weights in the gym as they are hanging with friends and rocking edgy street level cool.
Hi-Tops – The old basketball classics are back and taking the trainer world by storm. The raw attitude and style of hi-tops brings a fresh streetwear edge to your outfit and elevates your fashion status instantly. The more colour and detail the trainer has the better it looks. Check out Nike Dunk for a classic silhouette with bright colour pops or Adidas Attitude XL for raw style and a beautifully over the top tongue.
Old Skool – Everyone has a soft spot for vintage styles like the Nike Balzer, Adidas Samba or Adidas Originals Superstars. They have ability to make their wearer look cool but at the same time give off the impression they’ve made no effort at all. Adidas Superstars are so cool Run DMC even wrote a song about them. It gets no cooler than that.
So there you go, three completely different styles of trainer that all quietly let the world know how their owner rolls. Choose your style, pick your look and let your kicks show world your personality.
