Here’s the thing about summer tennis shoes: they have to pull their weight (cost-per-wear, I’m looking at you. I can’t help it. I majored in Economics). They need to go with everything you wear on a random Tuesday — whether that’s denim and a tee, a cotton midi, or leggings and a hoodie. This isn’t the moment for a one-outfit wonder.
If you’re in the market for a new pair, do a little styling homework first. Start taking quick snaps of what you wear every day — nothing fancy, just mirror pics or outfit selfies and post them on Adjust My Crown. Save them in a Collection called Spring Weather or 60° Feels Like 72 or What I Actually Wear. When you’re tempted to buy something new, scroll through that album and see if the shoes you’re eyeing work with what’s already in your rotation.
And a quick note for anyone spending time at dusty ballfields, playgrounds, or anywhere that’s more dirt than pavement: skip white soles. Even the cutest pair will look worn out fast when the tread turns that muddy beige that never fully scrubs off. The cost-per-wear just isn’t worth it — even if the sticker price is lower.
Not sure which pair to commit to? Use your own closet as your focus group. Post polls. Compare new options against the sneakers you wore last summer. If the current contender isn’t winning? Keep scrolling.
The takeaway? Choose smart, wear often, and let your shoes earn their keep. You deserve a pair that can get dressed in less than five and get on with your day.
(P.S. The Louis Vuitton Sneakerina shoes will sell out fast I’m guessing)
P.S. The slip on Golden Goose style looks great, and feels great, and I find myself wearing them all day, even when I’m at home, BUT, the tongue flops down so they don’t slip on without a little fussing over them. I don’t love that aspect of them because I like things EASY, so I thought I’d mention it.
