The Most Versatile Shoe In Your Wardrobe

A couple months ago it was the Roche, but now Nike has come out with it's next biggest thing: Air Max Thea. These shoes are amazing, relatively affordable ($90 for Thea, $120 for The Premium), and so so stylish. They come in loads of colors to match every possible outfit you might have, and not to mention they are extremely comfortable. I ordered my pair about a week ago (cue Bobby Shmurda song) and just got them in last night. 



I am beyond happy with them, and after getting them I started looking for styling ideas on Pinterest; and let me tell you... they have endless possibilities. I've seen them paired with athletic leggings, jeans, dresses, and even a business casual look. They are the shoes you NEED in your closet to transition from winter to summer. Here are some of my favorite looks:



Look 1 via Katherina

Katherina styles her Theas with distressed denim, a plain white T, and a leather jacket making for an edgy, neutral toned look broken up by the blue jeans. 

Look 2 via Hailey Baldwin

Hailey sports the tan Theas with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a comfy white sweater for a great travel outfit. 

Look 3 via Lucy Williams

Lucy goes for the sophisticated winter chic look dressed nearly head to toe in J Crew, but the shoes give it a more casual touch for a day on the town rather than a day of business

Look 4 via Iris Gravemaker

Iris gives her Theas a fresh look with monotone blacks and whites that match her shoes. The outfit is casual, but well thought out.

Athleisure and Gigi Hadid

So the latest trend will obviously be in relation to Gigi Hadid because she is a fashion goddess. Seriously though, all hail Gigi. And what is Gigi Hadid interested in these days you ask? Athleisure.

Athleisure, according to InStyle, is "clothing that fits a somewhat broad category of being appropriate for either athletic or leisure pursuits, or both." Well doesn't that sound like the lazy girls dream come true. So basically, throw on a pair of trendy sneakers, comfortable Lululemon leggings, and a basic sweater or T-shirt and you're set for your day.

Here are some examples from the athleisure expert herself:

Now I'm not entirely sure about the middle one. I feel like it's possibly pushing it but then again, Gigi knows all. I'm not gonna question it any further. If I had Yeezy's like hers I would probably rock a variation of the left look every day. Also, if I had abs like hers I wouldn't wear a shirt either. Even if it is probably 20 degrees in New York...

So will the athleisure trend prevail? Only time will tell, but my guess is yes. Who in their right mind is gonna fight a comfortable trend?? I would rock it any day. Those are rarities.
