I had to customise my own pair of laces to match well with the...

It is a natural process that cannot be stopped.Sooner or later, it will happen no matter what...

Is it me or is ADIDAS been trying too hard? Preview pictures of the upcoming NMD colorways slated to be released in March 2017 sees a deep red and dark blue colorway. There has been so many red and blue NMDs, why would they try to release colorways in different tones instead?

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations In a market dominated by ADIDAS and NIKE, New Balance sneakers were over-shadowed by Flyknit Racers, NMDs and Ultra Boosts. New Balance sneakers were always one of the best looking casual sneakers in my opinion, the simplicity and myriad of colorways was extremely appealing but yet, it never took off as much as the NMDs or Ultra Boosts did. In the past 2 years, sneakers that combined performance and streetwear were the best-selling and appealed the most to the consumers. New Balance sneakers were not really for performance, but more for a casual look....

Today's article will be slightly different, as it will be more on Jogger Pants, another essential component of an outfit to match with your sneakers.
