Fall is officially here in the Midwest. Break out the flannels and boots and enjoy it while we can before winter is here (winter is, in fact, coming).
The all-white sneakers and easy-to-wear summer kicks are soon to be stashed away until next season (looking at you all-white Yeezy’s that just arrived this morning…) and are giving way to some heavier duty and more season-appropriate options.
Here are a few of our favorites in different varieties for all of your dining out needs (and everyday / workwear as we know people don’t get to just sit around and eat meals and get cocktails at great restaurants all day - aka everyone’s dream).
Sneakers
Oliver Cabell Low 1 Soul Split Suede: Clean color way with the light tan suede upper and crips white soles (break out the Jason Mark cleaner now…). Have a high end feel as pointed out in the last post with a much smaller price tag. An almost identical model from Saint Laurent will run you about $525.
Adidas Mallison SPZL: Something about a gum sole in the fall just feels right. What uppers and common colors make this an easy fall kick-around shoe for a pretty good price.
Nike x Off-White Blazer Mid: Couldn’t let a post go up with another looming Off-White release in the near future. The Off-White hype has not died down and keeps rolling strong with the Blazer Mids in a clean black / white color way as well as a tan / orange. Good luck trying to get a pair for retail though, bots and hypebeasts are likely all over these.
Boots
For when sneakers just won’t cut it for the weather or you want to have something that gives a more formal or rugged look.
Astorflex Chelsea Boots: Makes any fit feel a bit dressier and built with a heavy sole to last through the seasons. Multiple color ways out there but the light tan is always a classic.
Kenton Leather Cap-Toe Boots: Well-made, stylish premium leather boots that can be dressed up or down and beaten to death. All-around winners.
Danner Mountain Pass Boot: A bit more athletic / hiking look for a more casual but rugged vibe. Cool aesthetic that stands out as being a bit different but not too far out there.
