Best foot forward and all that.
New Balance MIUS 998
Stepping towards spring like some kind of minty biscuit, this 998 looks like it’s inspired by a pistachio infused cup of coffee or something. Basically, what we’re saying is, it’s brown and green and we like those colours together. As for the model, you don’t need that selling to you. It’s a 998, FFS.

Nike ACG Torre mid Boot
When it comes to the outdoors, our head tells us to go for seriously technical outdoor brands these days, but our heart belongs to ACG, whose beautiful suede boots will do a decent job in the outdoors anyway, but might serve you better as you parade the pavements in your GORPY garms.

We don’t cover Spezial enough on here, you know. There I said it. We’ve done plenty, but it warrants more than an inclusion in a round-up like this.

Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Sneaker
Like something her with the mutated upper body in Total Recall would wear to attend step class, the Vomero is well futuristic isn’t it?

Salomon S LAB Odyssey Element Advanced Sneaker
We’ve done laces, that’s like Shay (a given). Straps were mentioned via Puma above. Now though, zips. “He wears them shoes with zips” sounds like a Paul Calf-style insult, but fortunately Paul Calf isn’t our style guru.
