It’s been forever and a day since I’ve posted on here but I’ve literally had a wave of so many ideas for posts to write so here we go back up and running, (pun intended) better than ever.
Alright so let’s cut to the chase ( Im getting good at these puns). Nike gum soles are the
shit.( pardon my French) you know what I love about these shoes. They have the
clean aesthetics of the well know air force 1’s but with a spin! the gum sole
gives the shoe more dimension and a bit of an old school touch. The gum sole
reminds me of the bottom of timberlands which have honestly been my saving grace this winter. I love how this combination is almost like bringing together a pair
of classic trainers with timberland boots. This dresses up the shoes. Adding another
layer of colour to the shoe really transforms your look from popping to town to
hitting the streets of New York… if that makes sense . basically, what
I’m saying is these gum soles make me feel bad ass, high fashion and original
all at the same time.
However, I must say the gum sole can be a bit limiting as
certain colours paired with the yellow brown colour are just a massive no. I
saw a pair of mustard yellow air force 1’s with the gum sole and I really was
not impressed. it just did not work for me. The combination reminded me of baby
food. EW .But hey each to their own. When it comes to trainers with a bit of
flavour, simple is always the best way to go. So, your standard white, black,
grey and camel. But if you want to make a statement the khaki and red gum soles
are beauties you have to get a hold of !
I
managed to grab myself the grey high-top gum soles ( the first picture) which I am so in love with,
even more so as I am yet to see anyone else rocking the grey pair. I’m a sucker
for originality what can I say .
