  • Winter Sneakers To Keep You Looking Fresh!

    Winter Sneakers To Keep You Looking Fresh!

    Winter sucks! Period.

    But why do we have to wear ugly-ass winter boots that are there just for function? Why can’t someone make warmish winter boots that look dope? Well, I have scoured around looking for something that would fill the void, and I think I have done just that. Check out some sneakers and sneaker boots you can rock this winter to keep your feet warm and looking fresh.

    MEN’S H.F/1.3 and 1.4 PRIMEKNITS

    I personally picked these bad boys up and I will say that they are one of the best pickups I made in all of 2017. They are plenty warm, I’ve been wearing them in the snow for that last month and am loving them, my only regret is being a dummy and not buying them in black and or setting them up with creps before I took em out. I would recommend buying them in black, they still look dope but you don’t have to worry as much about them getting dirty.

    If you aren’t keen on hightops (although I don’t know why you would be in the winter) Adidas also has them in a low rise model. all models are weatherproof, but like I said earlier I would totally hit em up with creps to keep the stains away.

    MEN’S NMD XR1 WINTER SHOES

     

    For those of you who are still on that NMD hype train which many are, Adidas also released their XR 1 Winter NMD. With weatherproof primeknit upper and built in sock to keep your ankles warm. Personally I’m not a huge fan of the built in sock for the XR1 or NMD in general. But hey maybe you do and that’s all that really matters.

     

    MEN’S FORUM PRIMEKNIT WINTER SHOES

    Now the Adidas Forum primeknits actually look like winter sneakers to me. again with the weatherproof primeknit upper. the high top looks simple yet still dope if you can rock red! I would cop 8/10.

    NIKE SF AIR FORCE 1 HI IBEX

    With all the iterations of the AF1SF which i picked up the second release of in tan. They are super comfortable to wear, even for longer periods. the Ibex brings a higher tongue, a larger hi-top in general, and the wrap around laces are a nice touch. Best of all is the fact they are zippered in the front for ease of use. Although like my pair of AF 1.3 they come in WHITE! So you best treat them before wearing them out or after 2 or three wears they will be dirty AF!

    But I might actually go out and cop a pair and do a proper review on them soon.

    NIKE SFB GEN 2 20.5CM (APPROX.)

    The Nike SFB Gen 2 is the only boots/sneaker on this list that is actually marketed as unisex. Although these days girls wear guys shoes all the time! Lets face it, sneaker releases are generally geared towards males, so I don’t blame them at all. But in any case, lets get down to these boots, this is also the only one on this list that i feel like, looks more boot than sneaker. The design is very militaristic, but pretty dope considering the military inspo has been entering more of the spotlight in streetwear as of late.

    Are you planning any winter sneaker pickups?

     

     

  • Loving My New Geox boots

    Loving My New Geox boots

    Getting ready for cold weather and winter in general I have found myself collecting jackets and boots. Recently I picked up a pair of Geox and i’m loving them! They look great but most importantly are so damn comfortable. I can style them with a good majority of what I wear, which is super important. The worst thing is to settle for a pair of shoes or boots, although they are functional that don’t match your style.

    I would much rather wait it out and be a bit more selective until i find something that works for me. But back to these boots, they have a great rugged look, and the functionality is right up my alley. The side zipper mitigates the laces which makes me super happy because at the end of the day i’m super lazy and hate having to spend time lacing up any pair of shoes.

    Geox Outfit Look

    So for all you out there trying to figure out boot situation for the coming months, pop in to your local Geox and check out their selection of boots. The have an entire line of fashionable boots and shoes that are water resistant too, because ain’t no one like wet socks!

     

  • Winter is COMING! Time to get that winter footwear in the rotation

    Winter is COMING! Time to get that winter footwear in the rotation

    Living in Canada, although a beautiful country we do live in sometimes harsh conditions. Footwear is a major proponent to any outfit and functionality has to be at the center of how it all comes together.

    I currently have a few boots that I rotate throughout winter depending on the circumstances. let start with my daily boot. I wear this generally anytime I need or want to wear a boot without any occasion.

    GEOX AMPHIBIOX: Jaylon ABX

    All leather, water proof , and breathable! not to mention comfortable to boot [no pun intended]. A must have in any winter rotation. Having a classic design as well let it compliment mostly any type of outfit you plan on wearing out.

    JOHN VARVATOS: Fleetwood Lace Boot

    Now if I’m looking to dress it up a bit without going full dress shoe, my Fleetwood Lace Boot is my automatic go to. After hitting it with some protective spray I’m good to go for winter! I have yet to buy the rest of the boots I need but will most likely be picking up a paid of Sorel type boots specifically for snow outings and shoveling the driveway. Other than that, maybe a pair of chelsea boots just to go a step above the Fleetwoods for more formal occasions.

    What are your favourite boots for winter?
