Growing up, I always had a thing for shoes. Shoes are the one object on our bodies that always stand out.
I feel like I can tell a lot about someone just by looking at their shoes. A lot of people have different shoe choices.
According to Backyard Studies, the type of shoes people wear is most likely the background you’re stemming from.
Your shoes reflect the environment in which you were raised.
Fox example, my mom has never been never a sneakers person. Rarely on a daily occasion you would catch my mom wearing some sneakers.
My mom has explained to me that, growing up, she never could wear any glamorous or fancy shoes to school.
There was always a dress code and certain rules she had to follow.
The majority of her life she always had to wear regular shoes, and it’s stuck with her until this day.
When it’s time for her to go out, she will dress up nicely.
Whether it’s high heels opentoed, sandals, flip-flops or slippers, it’s either one out of those three she is wearing.
I really think your environment and your peers have a lot to do with what you wear. Growing up in an urban area as a young child, even watching TV, I would always see a sneakers headline.
Sneakers were so colorful and so epic that I would always have to get one.
There are some different brands like Nike, Jordan, Under Armor, Adidas, New Balance and more.
I would usually go out and look for some sneakers especially Air Jordan’s.
Just looking and having a pair of Air Jordan’s, she was like the world to me.
Some people may think otherwise, but a pair of Air Jordan’s comes with a lot of background.
Some of these shoes are stemming from basketball players. They have played in in a real NBA game on a special day or occasion.
I would always see other pairs of mine wearing sneakers and would be even more encouraged to get them.
At this point in time in my life, I’ve owned a lot of sneakers.
I’ve always been a fan of having sneakers just because of the glamour they bring out.
There are different styles, colors and different use.
Some sneakers are for basketball running and just flat out dressing up.
Sneakers can go with actually anything.
Sneakers always bring the swag out.
