You don't need twenty pairs. Three well-chosen pairs will see you through the whole year.
When you're looking at new sneakers, choosing can quickly get confusing. One simple rule works for us: one pair for every day, one for sports and one to give your look a little something different.
Below are the models we'd choose from what's available in the store, along with a more affordable option for each.
For every day: adidas Samba IT
A classic model that looks good with both jeans and tracksuits. This will most likely be the pair you wear most often.
More affordable option: adidas Runfalcon 6, €68.99.
For sports: Nike Pegasus 42
A cushioned shoe for running and working out. It's also comfortable on days when you're on your feet a lot.
More affordable option: Nike Downshifter 14, €83.
For style: New Balance 9060
A chunky sole and a shape that stands out. It looks great with a simple outfit when you want your shoes to make a statement.
More affordable option: New Balance 204L, €136.
How much do all three pairs cost?
Main models: Samba IT (€109) + Pegasus 42 (€145) + New Balance 9060 (€193) = €447.
More affordable options: Runfalcon 6 (€68.99) + Downshifter 14 (€83) + New Balance 204L (€136) = €287.99.
Prices do not include the discount for paying by card.
Why not just one pair?
When you rotate your pairs, each one has time to dry and regain its shape. That way, all three last longer.
