Post subject:  Sneakers for school (pics)
I go to a high school on the upper east side of manhattan, new york city. Pretty much everyone their either wears nike dunks (which i absolutely despise), or air jordans (a FEW of which I love, but not the rediculous colorful ones they wear at my school).

I kind of want to set myself apart from all of these kids, stop wearing basketball sneakers to school, and wear something a little more original. I want to be a little more dressy, but not like lacoste shoes or prada's (lately they've been getting played out as well).

So I bought two pairs of diesel shoes for cheap.
I was wearing this pair:

One girl noticed and asked how much they were... "Guess."
"hmm idn, like 160?"
"what?! no way, try again."
"200?"
i laughed inside. they were 90 bucks.

So, does anyone else know any nice casual shoes/sneakers to wear to school? My school is like predominately white (about 90%... we actually have issues with affirmative action). I'm thinking maybe some nice adidas would do to, kind of like these: http://popsportshoes.com/bmz_cache/8/83 ... 50x262.jpg

Oh, and i hate pumas, so don't even.

What do you guys wear to school?

I've always worn no-school vans since it's common around this area. But mine are special because I got them in a foreign country. Too bad they're starting to get old and dirty :\.

I have a bunch of different shoes. Part of my style is having a large variety and changing it up often. I have a pair of Vans Authentics (black/white) a pair of Hemp made Chucks, blue/red Chucks, pair of ADIDAS skate shoes, brown Pumas, ect. I recommend the Authentics though. They are comfortable, look great with a pair of jeans (Some say shorts too, but I can't pull them off with shorts.) and are relatively cheap.

This is very similar to what I rock:

The only difference being is mine are made of this suede. This gives them a really unusual look and feel that is generally associated with being pricey. They key thing I like about them is they are designer but subtle. Quite a lot of designer brands plaster their name over their items and you look like a moving advert, the subtly of these means when a HB looks real hard she can see they are a good brand.
They only cost me £75 (about $130) but people think they are over £200.

tbh, I hate them all.
Every other HS guy in the world is wearing trainers like that, have you tried to find some smart-casual type shoes?

lutecefalco, those are great as well. It's that smart casual look that will turn heads at High school.
This sort of look at HS is just perfect:

just add in a necklace like:

and shoes like

Image

and you'll be set to go.

Oh, and jeans are great but I suggest as a standard a dark blue pair like:
Image

With the jeans, make sure the body of the jeans (before it splits to 2 legs) isn't to long and grips your ass a bit. Baggy jeans look shit, but so do skinny jeans (on 99% of men).
and don't forget a decent belt (colour matched to the shoes).

Dark blue jeans are def the best colour i find. To continue and extend this topic whenever i go out i have a man bag


Image

girls love it i get compliments from them all the time including in clubs and bars.
I travel to france often and lots of people have that and brought one back
Not many people in england have those so i def get more attention with the bag


Watch: these are awsome i love it but beware it gets LOTS of attention i get random
people asking me how I can read the time lol but it's a great conversation starter. I have the orange one


Image


Madals picture of Zac Effron is a really good one. Very casual

Timberland boots can look cool on some people with boot cut jeans

as for watches,
Image

thats what I rock.

Personally I would avoid anything with plastic, metal or a leather cuff, but again that's because I go for a smart/casual look.
If you want really unusual, something like these are awesome:

I just had to respond to the Nooka post.

I bought a Nooka watch few weeks ago and you seriously cannot believe the attention, I'm gonna buy another one in yellow.

Trust me :D




As for shoes, obviously USA fashion bit different to UK but to see what i'd wear probably either those Fred Perry plimsolls or a Lacoste pair.

Madals, I'm digging the style in the pictures you posted and couldn't agree more with it. I have a leather jacket just like the one in the picture posted and I couldn't be happier with it.
