Freestylin`

Good morning from LA! Since neons are trending madly this summer, I thought I'd show you one of my neon sneakers for today's post (:

This pair of neon Freestyle Hi will always be associated with the best compliment ever. It happened when I was at the mall with my friend one day. We were just passing by a vendor, when the saleslady approached us and was like
Hi, would you be interested in--WHOA, cool shoes!!!!
I never stopped someone dead in their tracks with my sneakers until that moment (:






Reebok Freestyle Hi Reign-bow Hot Green

I love how these come in a great selection of colorways. This classic pair has been going strong for a while now, and I love it when brands keep to their classic silhouettes! I think that's a huge part in maintaining their brand identity.

My only complaint about these sneakers is that the toe box is really thin and doesn't have any structure. I always stuff my kicks after airing them out to maintain their shape, but you can see how my toebox is creased and dented in the last picture. It kind of irks me, because I'm a person that likes having my kicks in pristine condition. Sneakers aren't cheap, so I gotta take care of the ones I have!

Have you been coloring your wardrobe in all shades of neon this summer? Would you rock these? :D

Awesome sneakers!! I'm visualizing an awesome mani to go with these! haha I usually wear flip flops since it's hot and I'm too lazy to wear real shoes but your posts are making me want to go buy some!

If someone would walk by me with these shoes, I swear I would stop them, compliment them and then ask where they bought them :D LOVE them!!! And that problem with the creased toebox is so annoying! I always tried to keep mine in perfect condition, but no matter what you do, that's the first sign of wear :/

These are still around? Lots of people had these Reeboxes in the 80's, not in neon green but in white. Super popular with the aerobics craze.

I hate when that happens to my shoes too! I've never heard of the word "toebox" before. I definitely learned something new today. Hehe~
