I'm trying to remember when exactly I started wearing sneakers other than going to the gym. And I think it was in 2009. That was around the time I stopped wearing high heels. Yes, I am that precise. I remember because I bought a pair of purple Converse that I started wearing with everything.
Before wearing sneakers with just about everything, my choice of casual shoes was either sandals or cowboy boots, which I also wore with everything, Lol!
Since then, a fun sneaker has been my most likely choice of shoe. I still wear sandals a lot, as I wrote about here.
Not long ago, I had to throw my New Balance in the trash because I decided to wear them to go out walking every day, and they ended up with a hole in the sole. With this said, I need a new pair of "lifestyle" sneakers for daily use. This situation means I need to go sneakers shopping. Hopefully, I can find something I love that is not out of stock, as it happens more often than I would like to admit.
So, let’s go shopping! Here’s what I found that caught my interest.
Brandblack Women’s Specter x 2.0 Kelly White / Red Green $180
New Balance Made in the USA 998 $209.99
New Balance Made in the USA 990v6 Leather-Trimmed Mesh and Suede Sneaker $220
Veja Rio Branco Alveomesh Emeraude White/Yellow $160
Veja SDU Alveomesh Nautico Pierre $145
Veja +Reformation Venturi Suede and Leather-Trimmed Alveomesh Sneakers $215
Nike Phoenix Waffle Suede and Leather-Trimmed Canvas Sneakers $100
Nike Air Force 1 Wild Suede and Mesh Sneakers $145
Nike Phoenix Waffle Sneaker $100
Salomon XT-6 Mindfulunisex Sportstyle Shoes $200
Salomon XT-6 Mesh and Rubber Trainers $166
Converse Chuck Black / Parchment $85
Adidas SL 72 OG Sneaker $100
The Row Owen Runner Suede-Trim Mesh Trainers $574
I have a good selection here. I think I'm gravitating towards the red Brandblacks. I’m also into the Salomon’s a lot, and the yellow Veja’s. What a dilemma, Lol. I'm bummed that the Adidas x Wales Bonner sneakers are out of stock. I already have a pair in green and yellow from her first collar, but I'd love to have another pair in a different color. Do you have a favorite from this selection?
Let me know if you've seen something you think I would like. I did my research, but perhaps there's something out there I didn't see. I did see the New Balance x Miu Miu collab and the new Dries Van Noten sneakers, but both are out of stock. Plus, Miu Miu's are too pricey.
That's it for today's newsletter. But before I go, a word of the day:
38Â For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39Â neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
I love you guys. Thank you for being here. Remember you are awesome and made for greatness.
Until next time!
