The same chunky dad sneaker silhouette in two colorways — crisp white and soft blush pink — proof a good sneaker shape works no matter which pair you pick.
The chunky dad sneaker works because the proportion does the styling for you — a wide sole and a low, rounded toe box balance out a baggy jean or a wide-leg trouser in a way a slim sneaker never manages. Once you have the silhouette right, colour is purely a mood decision.
The cream-and-silver Asics is the one that disappears into everything: black trousers, denim, a summer dress. The blush suede pair is the opposite — it is the only colour in the outfit, so keep the rest neutral and let the shoes carry it. Suede in a pale pink does need a protectant spray before its first wear, and a soft brush afterwards rather than water.
