My Favorite Sneakers of 2013

Nike Huarache Turf Lax

Nike Huarache Turf Lax

I went through a couple pairs of these already this year. The Huarache Turf Lax is the perfect blend of ’90s trainer styling and modern day tech.

Vans OTW Prelow

OTW may not be the full on skate shoes that Vans is known for but the designs are so clean to me. The Prelow is unbelievably lightweight, crazy comfortable, and looks as classy as a dress shoe. Ladies love this shoe on my Instagram, maybe that’s why I grabbed every single colorway they released! (I wasn’t able to grab all the colorways for the photo, sorry.)

    Definitely agree with you on the SNS dmx run. Still looking for a second pair.

    What’re your thoughts on frank the butchers 10|15 pair?

        Definitely I was geeked when I got my pair in the mail. The materials that have been used on the Reebok’s this year have been insane. And the cordura material I thought was a nice touch.

        Yes!!! Packer still has a few pairs left in my size and debating to pull the trigger. I have to get my kamikazes first though… That’s my 7th grade Jr high school memory pair lol. I damn near fell out of my seat when vashe posted that they were going back into production.
