versatile and cute sneakers

lsubatgirl · Gucci

I know this isn't the same as what you are looking at but I just went to the addidas outlet in Orlando and they are having a huge sale. I was able to get a pair of tennis shoes that were really cute for $35. I ended up with mainly white and a little silver and pink. I'll post them later. If you have a good outlet mall nearby you can score some awesome tennis shoes there. You might have to try some different sizes though. To get mine I had to go from a 6.5 to a 5.5!

I think the ones you picked would go with a lot since they are white and black.

Here are my new shoes:

I Looove those! Almost bought them (I have like 3 pairs of puma sneakers..) but I have a pair of white mesh mostros and they got SO DIRTY! (granted I wore them constantly last year..) But that white mesh gets so dirty so quick and no matter how much I scrub with bleach and a tooth brush, they're never really the same. Thus I have a pair of perfectly cute sneakers that I can't wear because they're so dingy. Just so you know what you're getting into if you do buy them! (love 'em though!)

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

how about something like these? plus they're on sale for $39.99.

Cute sneakers to me are the old, classic kinds. All the ones I'm posting will look awesome in a jeans and top outfit. Here are my suggestions:

$70

$40 (on sale at Journeys.com)

$70

$40 (on sale at Jouneys.com)

$30-$40 depending on your shoe size.

$40

$50

$38 These would look awesome with jeans. It'll give off a "punky" vibe if you're into mixing up your style. They also come in the normal black/white checkers but I thought these came in neat colors.

$70

$75

$60

I'm usually a Puma kinda of gal (Puma Suede and the Puma California) but after seeing the Addidas ones I posted, I might have to get one of those!

Hope these helps ya!

fashionista L · Coach

I actually really like the ones you chose !! Very cute!!

trixie · Kenneth Cole

Thanks for all the suggestions - I especially like the first ones that exsupahero posted (I'm very much a Puma kind of girl). I also found these on the Puma site, which I like because they are still fun yet a little less flashy than the gold/white pair I posted earlier:

What I really like about these is that I could wear my brown puffy vest and my black not as puffy vest with them (those two things have become a staple in my closet).

Great, now I have a decision to make........ Any closing thoughts?

Update: Never mind they don't have my size left in the grey/silver/brown combo

I love H-streets. I have a pair in grey/gold/red. I actually find my anjans to be more versatile and more comfortable though:

I'm also with exsupahero on the chuck taylors. A pair of black or dark green will go with almost everything.

Halleybird, I really like the anjans you posted - but of course they don't have my size in the color I want. The story of my sneaker search. Anyway, I'll try to find them on Puma site. Thanks!

halleybird · Hermes

Trixie, what color do you want? I feel like I've seen them a bunch of places, though of course I can't remember now

trixie · Kenneth Cole

Halleybird, I like the anjans in putty, the third color down from the top on the pic you posted. I searched for a while online and couldn't find them in my size, but I did find these in my size at jildorshoes.com:

Woohoo! I ordered them yesterday - I hope I like them when I see them in person.
