Hey yo,
What’s up people people, just got back from my trip to Tokyo, Japan! Figured i would share some useful information with you all. By useful, I mean the stuff I pack for my feet. Sneaker mainly, but shoes in general. Anytime I travel one of the most important things I take are a variety of shoes. [But Dave you’re a dude, not a chick you just need one pair bro] ~NO! I need my kicks, and lemme tell you why. First, what happens if it rains and your one pair get all messed up? What about when you go to a music festival/night club and your kicks get all messed up? Oh and all of a sudden you are going somewhere fancy, what then?
This is why I take a few pairs, and depending where I go I tend to come home with a few extra too :).
Tokyo has my favourite sneaker brand [Supra Footwear] so i bought another pair……then I went to the Nike outlet at Diver City in Odaiba. One thing I have noticed is that what’s popular here might not be as popular there, That being said I was able to pickup a pair of Nike LunarEpic Flyknits for $80 instead of $250. But I digress, this post isn’t about all the stuff I spent my money on.
So lets get to it, I like to take a few pairs of shoes for a few situations.
-
A pair of loafers
- Loafers are my formal/informal go to shoe, you can dress it up with a suit or button up but you can just wear it as is with a pair of cropped pants. But a must have when I travel. My go to loafers are Geox driving shoes with rubber sole, they have the Geox breathable tech built in which is great because I don’t like wearing socks.
-
Main daily shoe
- This shoe is your go to, whatever you feel most comfortable wearing day to day that will compliment basically everything in your wardrobe. However can also handle a lot of potential walking. For this this trip I broke out my GEOX NEBULA sneakers, They are comfortable, super breathable since the sole has built in holes for awesome ventilation, not to mention they look pretty good too!
-
BACKUPS!
- Mainly I bring backups for my daily shoe, mostly because at home I have a shoe rotation, which also makes my shoes last for what seems like eternity. I brought Tokyo to Tokyo this trip with 2 pairs of Supra Skytops. My all whites, and a pair of black suede ones.
So all in all I was covered no matter what I was doing this trip. Got there with 4 pairs came home with 6…whatever I can never have enough shoes!
What shoes are normally on your packing list when you travel?
