Summer’s just around the corner. I was going through last summer’s posts to try to find looks that still resonated, and I love the idea of this all white with these Adidas tennis shoes. I’ve always been a Converse guy, but I might be making a switch this summer.

This gentleman is a tangerine dream! :)
Love his look.
I was just at the Met website, looking at the discussion you’re going to be part of tonight. I so wish I lived in NYC and could attend this – I’m sure it’ll be great! :)

Teodora
May 15, 2012 at 5:55 pm
I think this look may be relevant this year, and the year after, etc. The Adidas tennis shoes give the look playfulness, or in other words saying ” don’t take me too seriously” while looking dashing and classy.

Yes! Love this-the orange jacket with the all white-and even the perfect cuff in the pants. So good! Converse are definitely great, but they have their place. I think they can take a look like this and make it seem more casual, less sophisticated-more sophomoric. Plus, I love the retro look of these Adidas. Nice choice.

Love the orange. I’m trying to find a nail polish that color – so far best I’ve found is Essie’s Meet Me at Sunset… which I think I’ll wear to my sister’s graduation.
Sorry for the train of thought there. But you helped me make a decision! :D

As for the sneakers, I’m also a converse kind of guy… but I think a nice pair of a suede loafers in a coffee brown, would completely make this look.

This gent is on top of his game, sartorially. He’s even matched the Adidas stripes to his hair…panache. No, if he wears white Converse, like the ones you sported when we met at Danzinger last week, he would look too pedestrian and lose that patrician air; without the jacket on, he’d look like a milkman or a house painter.

I certainly would NOT make the switch from Converse to those awful Adidas sneakers – they are horrible. And look at those silly little round coloured golf plugs that are in the heel. In the UK the type of guys that wear these sneakers are what Americans call ‘trailer trash.’
This guy always looks stylish – and he looks great in this photo – but those sneakers ruin his whole look.

Wes
May 22, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Do so many of the fashion-conscious people commenting on this photo actually think the tennis shoes further the look?? It’s a sophisticated play of color and texture, complete with pocket square, and then it’s as if he got tired by the time he reached the shoes end of his closet and gave up. I loved this look until I saw his feet.
AnyaTika
May 25, 2012 at 10:58 pm
I keep trying to see this from another angle and I simply can not. Love everything but the style of the Adidas. They scream all sporty comfort instead of comfortable style. I would love the look if the shoe were canvas? And as far as Converse go, I’ve grown out of them as well. I see the classic look in them but I guess I prefer other canvas sneakers these days.
