2023 Shoe Collection: A Detailed Look at My Favorite Sneakers
-
In my latest video, I showcased my entire shoe collection, which has changed a lot since my last update.
-
I currently own about 24 or 25 pairs of shoes, some of which were gifts, some I’ve had for years, and some I couldn’t resist purchasing.
-
I tend to go for sneakers with a slim silhouette, low profile, and versatile style that can be paired with almost anything.
-
One of my most worn sneakers in 2023 is the Adidas Gazelle Indoor in a vibrant colorway, which adds a pop to my wardrobe.
-
I was fortunate to get my hands on a colorway that sold out almost immediately upon release, making it even more special to me.
-
I also picked up the same style in a blue colorway, although I haven’t worn them out yet, but I admire the color and the slightly more translucent sole compared to the green pair.
-
Another significant addition to my collection is the Common Projects Achilles Low in a light gray colorway, which I find more versatile compared to the white pairs I’ve owned in the past.
-
This sneaker has become my go-to option for dressing up any outfit due to its timeless and versatile design.
Onitsuka Tiger GSM
-
The Onitsuka Tiger GSM, known as the Onitsuka Tiger, is a sneaker that the writer initially loved for its beautiful design.
-
Although the writer hasn’t worn them as much as anticipated, the quality and price point of the shoe are commendable.
-
The shoe reminds the writer of the Nike Air Force One, a style they are not currently going for, but they have no negative comments about the Onitsuka Tiger GSM.
-
Overall, the writer recommends the Onitsuka Tiger GSM for anyone who appreciates this style of shoe.
My Sneaker Collection
-
The first pair of sneakers in my collection that I want to talk about is the off-white pair with regular stripes around the sole. They are similar to the off-white pair, with the only difference being the stripes around the sole, which adds a nice touch to the design.
-
Next, I have a pair of Common Projects b-ble low, which I’ve had for about six years. Despite their age, they still look great, although the soles have turned yellow from wear. These have a slightly higher profile than the Achilles low and give a more sporty look.
-
The Adidas Amber is a popular shoe at the moment, but I personally find them uncomfortable and tend to choose my gazelles over them. However, they are undeniably a great looking shoe and easy to style, making them a common choice for many people.
-
Another similar pair is the Adidas handball specials, which I find more comfortable than the sambas. Although they look a bit smarter, I still prefer my gazelles over them. However, they were a favorite before I discovered the gazelles.
-
Moving on to the Mexico 66 from Onitsuka Tiger in the black and white colorway. This shoe receives mixed opinions due to its colorway, but I find them surprisingly comfortable and they complement an all black outfit perfectly.
-
I also own a pair of Acne Studio slip-on sneakers, which I consider as my ‘sloppy’ shoes for lazy days when I can’t be bothered with tying laces.
My Sneaker and Boot Collection
-
I used to have a pair of band slip-ons in my collection when I was younger, but now I prefer something more sleek and grown-up.
-
I recently acquired a pair of slip-on sneakers at a discounted price, although I wouldn’t pay full price for them. They are convenient for quick errands or casual outings.
-
The Reebok Club c85 TV version has been a long-standing shoe in my collection. While I go through phases of wearing it, I find it a bit chunky looking at times, especially with certain trousers. However, it’s a classic shoe that I always seem to have in my collection.
-
Next, I have the Vans skate high, which can give off a youthful look if not styled correctly. I personally still have a soft spot for these, but I tend to opt for Chuck Taylors or boots when going for a high-top look nowadays.
-
Moving on to running shoes, I own the Nike streak fly, which I find incredibly comfortable for my casual runs. They allow me to run without any discomfort and enable me to achieve my desired speed. I also share my running experience and ask others about their fastest 5K time in the comments section.
-
Lastly, in terms of boots, I have a pair from Veron, which I picked up in 2021. Although I didn’t wear them much initially, I ended up wearing them frequently last winter. Surprisingly, I still wear them in the summer whenever the weather permits.
Reviewing My Shoe Collection
-
Today, I want to talk about my shoe collection. It’s a mix of casual and formal shoes that I’ve gathered over the years.
-
First, let’s talk about my favorite Apple leather boots. They are durable and have a unique design with text on the side and a chunky sole. They have held up really well for me and I always get compliments on them.
-
Next, I have a pair of GH Bass loafers. I initially bought the black pair and later collaborated with the brand to receive the black and white pair and the brown pair. They are great for a casual yet stylish look.
-
Then, I have a smarter pair of loafers from Moorhouse which I wear to dressier events. The quality of these shoes is remarkable, and they add a touch of elegance to any outfit.
-
Moving on, I own a pair of classic Clarks Wallabees. While it’s not entirely my style, I still appreciate the timeless appeal of these shoes and wear them occasionally.
-
For formal occasions, my go-to shoes are a pair of Oxfords from Logue. They are the epitome of classic, smart footwear and always elevate my overall look when I’m wearing a suit.
-
In summary, my shoe collection incorporates a mix of casual, stylish, and formal footwear that caters to different occasions and styles.
