I recently purchased a pair of what some might call vintage 90s-inspired sneakers (ok, I’m calling them that too, but man do I feel old), and I’ve been wearing them pretty much every day since. I love them so much that I just bought a second pair in another color. I decided to share some ways to style sneakers outside the gym because that’s basically what I’ve been doing – not wearing these to the gym! I have a whole other set of sneakers for that. This pair is definitely for everyday casual wear with street clothes.
Another reason I wanted to share some ways to wear sneakers outside the gym is because after I shared them on Instagram stories, I had a few of you DM me asking to style them in a few different ways. A lot of you liked them but just weren’t sure how to wear them. I hear you! I’m typically more of a dressier shoe person myself, but I think I’m firmly in the sneaker camp right now.

A couple of funny stories about these sneakers and maybe just sneakers in general:
When I first shared them with my mom she was like, so are they cross trainers? And honestly I was a bit surprised by the question. To me, they definitely have a look that reads streetwear, not gym clothes. I said, Ummm I don’t know. They’re not really for that. They’re for wearing with you know, regular clothes. And she said, Oh ok. So you don’t workout in them? What are they for? So they’re not cross trainers? Parents, am I right? LOL (Love you, mom!) But maybe it’s a generational thing. I don’t ever remember wearing sneakers as a kid (or tennis shoes as we called them) with anything other than my gym clothes. So I get it. The trend to actually style them these days is kinda new.
The first time I wore them was to run some errands around town with Paul. I couldn’t believe how comfortable I felt. I actually said to him, So is this what it’s like to dress as a man everyday? Are you guys this comfortable all the time? And he basically was like, yep. LOL
I’ve linked as much as I can as well as similar items to recreate these looks. Don’t mind my screenshots from the Reel I made. You can get a better look at these outfits by watching my Reel here!
So what do you think of all the throwback footwear these days?
