A Good Pair of Kicks

I've always been a "sneakers" kind of girl.  I love a good pair of kicks. When Miley sang, "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks? She gotta be from outta town," I was all, "Yeah, totally!" While by no means a "sneakerhead," I know what I like when it comes to sneaks 'n kicks. Here are some of my old school favorites and some new kick picks that have caught my eye recently!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

Nike Backboard II (#1) 
I've always loved the way these look on guys, but I also really want to own them myself. They're classic!

Converse All-Stars/Chuck Taylors (#s 2, 4, 6) 
Chucks are my homeboy. When it comes to Chucks, high-tops are my top choice. I like the black, brown and blue versions, especialllllllly when they're really nice and worn in and a bit faded. (See below for my "Design Your Own Chucks" creation!)

K-Swiss Classic Luxury (#3)
I just love the shape of these ones, plus the fact that you can get them in lots of different colors!

Nike Cortez (#s 5 and 8) 
This style of Nikes is seriously one of my all-time favorites. This is another style that I think looks really good on both men and women.

Adidas Shell Toes (#7)
I rocked the all-white shell toes back in college and I want another pair so badly. I can't find any of the all-whites in the stores right now, though I've been looking. Dave makes fun of me and tells me that it's because it's not the 90s anymore... But I think everyone is just so wrong on this. IF shell toes ever went "out" of style in the first place, they're definitely due for a comeback. Just don't say I didn't warn you or that you didn't hear it here first!

So like I mentioned, I was fiddling around with the "Design Your Own Chucks" feature on the Converse website. Using their little interactive tool, you can choose every detail of your chucks - starting with the base style, then selecting the color/print of everything from the sides to the seams to the laces to the soles. Every detail of the shoe is controlled/selected by you, and they cost $70 per pair. (This isn't sponsored, I just thought you might like to know!) Here's the peppermint and cream pair I designed:

You like?! WELL I DO.

Do you like sneaks as much as I do, or are you totally a heels girl?
