[5] adidas’ Stitch and Turn Black / White

These all-suede gazelles stand alone. They bring some of the best qualities of winter – suede and pairs them with one of the best qualities of summer – all-purpose sports trainer and created something that according to adidas “transcends style, age, gender and time.” We’re in. You can find these for $100 (and worth every penny) at adidas.com or at other retailers like Haven.

[6] Nike Air Max 98 “Gundam”

There was a meme floating around by Laro Vilas Boas that featured these. It is a Skelton holding a pair of these Nike Air Max 98 “Gundam” saying: “I don’t know if i really love you, or if the hype tricked me to love you.” That is how we feel about these. Do we like them or is it just the hype telling us we do and that we need them? These released in January but Nike keeps restocking so keep checking nike.com or find them on Flight Club.

[7] Nike Air Jordan 3 ‘Tinker’

Who would have thought adding the Nike Swoosh could make the look more minimal and classier? Makes you wonder why they didn’t release back in the day? Was the swoosh not cool then? Did people prefer not waring logos? The Jordan 3 has maintained its position as one of the best Jordan silhouettes, and by purchasing these, you will have a streetwear classic you can wear the rest of your life. Think about it; you will want to impress your grandkids! Look for these to drop March 24th and retail for $200 at nike.com.

[8] New Balance 300 Vintage

They are a pair your dad or grandpa wore playing tennis in their super short-shorts. Dad shoes are in even if they aren’t ugly and chunky. According to New Balance putting these on will make you look like “your winning” and will “score style points.” They are retro. They are cool. And for $74.99 they can be your go-to sneaker this spring and summer. Check them out at New Balance.

[9] ASICS GEL-Lyte III – Red/White/Blue

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it, tends to be the motto of Japanese running brand, ASICS. Like ASICS GEL-Lyte IV, the GEL-Lyte III’s are pretty close to perfect already, so we are glad ASISCS is updating this comfortable silhouette with modern materials. Expect to see more of this orange/red and blue combo a lot for the next year. The ASCIS Gel-Lyte III retail for $110 and can be found at many ASICS retailers including QualityIndy.

[10] Brandblack Aura – White

The chunky, ugly, dad shoe trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. So this spring we suggest transitioning them to lighter colors, like the Blandblack Aura in White. They will set you back $200 but that is a lot more affordable than the Balenciaga’s, Dior’s, and Louis Vuitton’s. Find them at Brandblack.
