Dior Homme Multi-Lace Hi-Tops

I’ve been in a bit of a sneaker-phase lately. I seem to be more interested in wearing and buying them and when a kick-ass pair like this exist, I just have to write about it.

The first thing that strikes you is its multi-lace detail. The long black lace gets a round trip that covers the top portion in an edgy way that is just simply so desirable. The silver zip at the back adds another level of detail that only increases the desirability factor.

The contrasting white sole provides just the sliver of contrast that makes this a pair to wear for years. A fine example of how something simple (black on black with a hint of white) can

Alexander McQueen for Puma Ribcage Sneakers

Going to the gym is part of my daily routine. I don’t go everyday but I go most everyday and I wear a comfortable tee, gym shorts and my trusty Nikes. And I really don’t have anyone to impress at my gym since I go to the one at my apartment complex and everyone is either too young, married with kids or too old. So really, you know, it’s not as if I need to put in any effort in that regard. 
I don’t jog since I am always on the elliptical machine (it’s great – better for your knees than the treadmill) so it doesn’t matter how much cushion my gym shoes provide or how light they are. If you’re like

Billionaire Boys Club Deep Space Sneakers

I live in my sneakers. I take them out, I thrash them and I wear them and repeat. So I like how much mileage one can get out of a pair of sneakers and I really like this pair. 
The deep navy shade is current and yet will remain relevant for a while to come. The high-top Chuck inspired design is classic while the white specks (like its name suggests) are inspired by constillations in space. What they do is add a subtle dash of detail and contrast. 
Simple, detailed and on sale – grab this if you’re on the market for a pair of sneakers. Available in size 7 & 8. Get this for US$220 US$110 at SSense.

CoSTUME National ACTIVE T-Strap Low Top Leather Sneaker

Sneakers are a part of my everyday life. I run errands in them, I throw them on when I need to rough it up in the clubs (too many brand new dress shoes damaged after one night of dancing) and they are great for easy, casual, no-fuss days. However, track shoes (the kind you wear to the gym) are not meant to be worn outside the gym. I see guys wearing track shoes with jeans and shirts and it’s just wrong. It completely throws off their whole look and ruins the aesthetic.

So have sneakers to wear out and sneakers to work out in – and keep them separate. That said, I am digging this pair of leather sneakers and …

Creative Recreation DiCoco Sneakers

I go in and out of phases all the time. I remember my dress shoe phase where all I did was wear dressy leather shoes. Nothing simpler. After a few pairs were damaged in the clubs, bars and dance floor; I decided that it was just wiser and less traumatic to stick with sneakers if I knew I was going to get down and physical. So that started my sneaker phase.

That said, this pair will look good on the dance floor and while you’re running errands. The velcro straps give a retro vibe while the silver stripes and crocodile textured leather add detail and color that goes splendidly with this trendy piece.

The sliver of patent leather adds a …

Thrifty Flavors: Tretorn T56 Mid Canvas Sneakers



I have always turned to Converse for most of my sneakers needs. I find them simple, classic and yet so on trend time and time again. And I wear them with everything from jeans, to shorts to tailored pants. That said, they do come in many different color variations; most of them too loud or garish for my tastes.

Hence, it’s time to look outside my comfort zone a little to see what is out there. I found this while randomly surfing and I have to say that this pair of sneakers are growing on me.

Firstly, the navy shade reminds me of Summer, yachts and the sea. While normally I would like a contrast lace just for detail sake, …
