Even though currently I'm studying abroad in Australia as a university student, my first encounter with sneakers was years ago; exactly when I was still a 16 years old in Taiwan. Back then, I couldn't afford any pair of them. What I could do at that time was try my best to afford the style - outdoors. By the way, Outdoors is the first style that I'm in love with.
As I grew older, I bought a New Balance 997H as my first sneakers. Soon after, I purchased a 990V5 at a discount sale in Australia, which is also my first pair that was made in The US. Those two beautiful experiences made me fall in love with New Balance so much!
I don't have a major style to stick with since I find it interesting and challenging to switch between different styles of outfits. Sometimes I just wear simple t-shirts and match it with accessories, or sometimes I put on multiple layers of it. On other days, I focus on specific styles, like Japanese City Boys. I always enjoy stacking different colors on my body, and finally match a pair of unique style sneakers.
If I wear wide pants today then definitely I will match it with Vans Vault. If I choose Japanese style instead, I will probably pick New Balance or Dr.Marten. The last thing to share is that recently I prefer Urban Outdoor/Tech Wear, because most of these clothes have many pockets and waterproof materials, which allows me not only to go out without a hug bag, but also to relax and enjoy walking without paying too much attention to the weather. These functional and good-looking clothing makes me want to recommend to everyone to try.
It feels so light and perfectly matches any outift styles!
When it comes to sneakers, there are two things that will always be my first consideration - height increased and comfort!
New Balance 550.
It would be either outdoors or city boys.
