my collection of trainers
woah,
the last newsletter i wrote was the day after my birthday. now, it’s october and the clouds are grey again. a lot has changed, i have changed. i’ve found a new purpose. my whole life feels different now and in between the panic, the stress and the guilt, there’s an overwhelming amount of hope and excitement. i hope it’s a slow, meaningful and easy winter. so, what’s going on? i finished the gilded age, i started watching severence, i went to watch the new joker in the cinema, i’ve listened to birds of feather in a car that is becoming too familiar to me and i am trying to take one day at a time.
how are you all? leave me a comment.
my collection of trainers:
vans: i got my first vans for one reason only and that was because everyone else had them. don’t look at me like that, i’m a changed person now. everyone was wearing vans in high school, the black and white ones. i still have the same pair, luckily most of my trainers have lasted me a long time. i still wear my vans every now and then, you can’t go wrong with black trainers and i think vans will never go out of style.
new balance: i never expected to like new balance trainers but oh my god? they are so great. i have the 550 and i really like the comfort, the platform and the way the dark green goes with the grey. definitely won’t be my last pair!
converse: converse was my first love (along with justin bieber). i swore it would be the only trainers i ever have in my life. i still have all of my old pairs as well as new: black, white, beige, dark brown, dark green, navy, grey. low and high top. everyone was also wearing converse in high school, i couldn't help but follow the trends back then but i’m glad i stuck with converse for so long. the most comfortable trainers i own, they’ve stuck by my side always.
adidas: my favourite trainers right now are adidas. sambas and spezials blew up all over tiktok and they were sold out everywhere. they seemed so fashionable and i knew i needed the grey, black and white sambas. they’d go with everything. i was right. my mum said they look like bowling shoes because of how flat they are but… i love them. i quickly bought spezials soon after, the navy blue ones and they were a lot more comfortable with a bit of a platform. the good thing about both of these trainers is that they look good with my comfortable, baggy blue jeans. i’m tempted to by so many of their colour combinations. i know my next trainer purchase will also be spezials.
nike: nike was a bold decision for me. i had these black nikes with the white logo, not my greatest pair (i’m cringing). they’re not trainers i’d choose to wear now but there is one last pair standing: a simple white trainer with a black nike logo. simple is the best.
