5 Type of Sneakers Every Guy Must Own Project

After following +GQ's recommendations on Five Shoes a Guy Must Own, I decided to put a little bit of my own spin on it and acquire same amount of shoes, but not as exactly as the list suggested. Let us get straight into it.

The Running Shoes - New Balance 574 Fresh Foam:

As a New Balance product you'd expect comfort. The 574 Fresh Foams are perfect for running, going to the gym or even as an everyday activity shoe like going to lectures or into town. I bagged a pair of the shelves of Office during a sale back in 2015 and I dare say I didn't regret it, although, the tongue doesn't do justice of cover the front of your feet totally.  - £50.00

The Basketball Shoes - Air Jordan 6 Retro Maroon:

GQ's video recommend the  Air Jordan 1 Pinnacle Vachetta Tan as the go to shoe, well it's my own take on the project so I went for something rare - The Nike Air Jordan 6 Retro Maroon and yes it had to be Jays...... - £150.00

The Travel Shoes - Vans

The travelling shoes could be a sneaker or shoe, depending on preference. The sneaker/shoe has to be comfortable, easy going and easily removable considering the multitude of checks one goes through at the airport recently. It would be best in beige, a good colour to pick because it goes with everything. The Vans Chukka Boot would have been perfect considering its variety in colour, size and manoeuvrability in that respect. I eventually went for a regular pair of Vans, beige in colour of course, with white soles - £59.99

Boots - Nike Air Lunar Force 1 Duckboot:

Boots are for those Fall/Winter months, to combat the cold and withstand the winds, even other forces like snow and hail. These ones took me a bit of time to pick as I was trying to decide on which shoe fit the part most. £150.00

Sneakers you can Wear with a Suit - Converse Chuck Taylor All Star HI Black (Leather):

Because few brands make a sneaker easily wearable with a suit, I picked up a Converse Chuck Taylor All Star HI Black Leather, to give the notion that their shoes. It's sleek, comfortable and easily slipped into, I grabbed shoe pads to prolong longevity and ensure size fitness when it has experienced wear and tear as we know All Stars tend to do that. They can be worn with Polos, T-shirts and Shirts inside Blazers to casual occasions and outings with friends. £60.00

Total Cost of the Project - £470

It took me sometime to finish this project but it is worth it considering how buffed up my rotation has become. I love shoes and if you love shoes you would enjoy this piece right here.
