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 its simple yet arresting play with colors and detail. The most obvious thing you notice is the lime green stripe and it offers a bright, fresh contrast to the black leather - nothing too loud or too in-your-face. Just a right hit of colors.

The next thing I am liking much is the leather velcro strap in grey. It adds detail that only serves to further enhance the desirability of this pair. The rivet stud on this velcro strap gives it an edge that complements the whole shoe flawlessly.

This is one to wear out with jeans or even a suit. I would throw a tee shirt on with tailored pants and this pair for a night out.
