Sneaker collection - Common Projects / Maison Margiela
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Collecting sneakers, especially minimal ones in subtle colors, has always been a favorite hobby. My criteria for getting a pair involves several things: the materials the shoes are made of, their design, versatility, comfort level and even the culture behind them. Now that I've curated a number that I'm satisfied with - and since I don't have a strong desire to buy any new sneakers any time soon - I thought this would be a good time to give an overview of my core collection.

My first time to watch your channel. To be honest, like you, my preference for Common Projects specifically their sneakers started several years ago. I have 4 of them. Blue, Beige, White and their suede black and white sole hicut. I observed how you style and pair them with pants and classy. Next in my list is Margiela replica. I felt i found someone having the same preferences in the shoe arena. Thanks and more power.
