Styling sneakers

When it comes to having cool sneakers, you need to make the entire outfit go with them. Styling and color-coordinating my outfits with sneakers is a passion of mine. Before purchasing a new pair of sneakers I always think what I could wear with them, and so to say measure if I have enough of that same colour in my closet for the purchase to be worth it. I now want to show you some styling examples wearing the nicest shoes from my collection:

This is how I’d style my most recent pair of sneakers, the Nike Air Uptempo 96 Light Aqua‘s. I’m wearing a thrifted navy blue Champion sweater and baggy jeans by Pretty Little Thing.

A very winter-friendly styling with Air Jordan Retro Low OG “Bred” Red‘s. Styled with black cargo trousers from H&M, a red North Face Nuptse jacket, and Marimekko bag.

Details: black polo shirt from Monki, Nike necklace from Etsy and buckle belt made by me.

Same shoes, but with a simple summer styling. Wearing blue jeans by Vero Moda, t-shirt from Monki and red backpack from Primark.

As you can barely see (sorry) I’m wearing Air Jordan 1 Mid Black Yellow‘s on my feet. Styled with a thrifted yellow t-shirt, baggy jeans by Pretty Little Thing and bag from Marimekko.

Wearing Nike Air Max 95 Rose Pink on my feet which I paired with an Adidas skirt, Stormzy t-shirt, Marimekko bag and pink jacket that I borrowed from my friend (sorry don’t know the brand).

One of my favorite “comfy but stylish” looks! I paired my Buffalo Classic Low Nubuck Leather Cream’s with beige pants by H&M, beige trench coat from H&M as well and a black scarf from Monki.

London’s Sneakerheaven

I went to London some time ago and visited some hyped sneaker shops there. There are so many sneaker shops in London that I didn’t even get the chance to visit all of them, but at least I got a glance of a few of them.

Let’s start off with Footpatrol, which is located at 80 Berwick Street, London.

The shop was very aesthetically pleasing! I wish I had a sneaker closet at home that looked like this. The selection wasn’t very big, but they definitely had some cool sneakers that you don’t find at every shop. Here are some of my faves that I found there:

Adidas x Reebok InstaPump Fury Boost

Li Ning Furious Rider Ace 1.5

Nike Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Fearless’

Look what I found! Karhu in London! It made me very happy to see that you could find the Finnish pride in a fashion capital like London. They were even discounted to £45, which is not much for Karhu, I hope the shoes have found a lucky owner.

Next I went to Presented By, which turned out to be heaven. The store is located at 15 Percy Street, London.

Looks pretty fancy already outside of the store, right? Once you walk in and the door is opened by a security guard, that’s when you can tell that you’ve just stepped into a slightly more expensive and exclusive store.

This is how it looks like once you walk in. The board at the top is displaying the current selling rates of the most exclusive and wanted sneakers. All of the prices had at least four digits…

These were very interesting to me. I was wondering if “Flea” is a reference to Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers? After I did some research I found out it wasn’t, but this is anyway such a cool design.

Playstation x Nike Air Force 1, how cool are these?!

They even have a claw machine where you could win a pair of sneakers.

I found a few of my dream sneakers that have been on my ‘to buy’ list for a while, but when I asked for their price and the shop assistant said that they were around £800-£500 my jaw dropped. Both of them have been around £200 when they first were released, but now they’ve gone significantly up in their retail price as they’re very wanted and quite rare to find. So I left the shop empty handed as the poor student that I am, but I will definitely be back some day when I have some more money.

I hope you enjoyed today’s post, until next time!
