Must have sneakers for every University Student

Have you ever had a hard time deciding which footwear to pack for school, looking at how large these shoes are and the remaining space in your bag, you decide to place some behind and pick those suitable for about 80% of your school needs? Actually, this decision sometimes gets more complex than saying yes or no to a relationship because whatever your choice is you’ll have to roll with for like 3 months straight.

First of all in selecting your favorite footwear you should bear in mind some factors namely, how comfortable the sneaker is, how easy it is to wear, how much it resists wear and tear and the topmost being how it fits your style. You wouldn’t like to feel weird in something you picked for yourself.

So to make things simple we will make a marking scheme where we will award marks for being comfortable, easy to clean, fits in style and also resisting wear and tear, also we will scale it over 10 for easy reference.

AIR FORCE 1

This brand of sneakers is from the top brand of Nike, since Nike has been known for their attention to detail and putting the consumer first the Air Force one acts like a real air force just that this time it’s for the feet, this sneaker gives your feet a royal treatment due to the foamy interior and also it has holes at the toe area to allow inflow of air to make walking on the pavement feel like it’s on the clouds, just like the Airforce. The styling level of this shoe is also top notch, doesn’t fit all but for most you just have to rock it.

YEEZY

The idea of Kanye West when he founded Yeezy in February ,2015 was to make sneakers that stand out, feel comfy and also stylish. Actually, these organizational goals have been met since most people believe a Yeezy is first a weird sneaker also after putting their feet into it a huge smile draws on because of how comfortable it is. Whenever you wear a Yeezy you stand out and walking is made easy, durability isn’t a factor once it's original it's guaranteed to see your grandchildren, but all this comes at a price and usually they retail at a hefty price. Fashion wise a Yeezy has the ability to link up with most combinations, sometimes it looks like it matches but beware check twice before stepping out.

AIR MAX 270

Another one from Nike, this time it has a more futuristic idea due to the sole, it has a bubble like cavity that helps to keep balance and absorbs more of the impact of walking or running relieving you of the pains of prolonged walking and workouts. This sneaker features a very current way of shoemaking so the materials used are durable also there is a lot of foam inside which helps to increase comfort. As it stands it's one of the most comfortable sneakers on the market right now, also for students it doesn’t really mess up the budget so it’s a top go get.

In conclusion, choosing a particular sneaker comes down to personal preference, what someone finds beautiful is what another finds ugly. As a student first things first and also you’ve got to keep an eye on the bank else the drip is going to put you on drip. So take things slow, make sure you are buying within your budget and still expressing yourself.
