“It’s an off-day when at least three of my co-workers aren’t also wearing Converse”
Some of our favorites. Photo: Courtesy of retailers If you follow our monthly Strategist Haul, you’re familiar with the idiosyncrasies of our editors’ and writers’ shopping habits. While we think of those as the highlights, there are plenty of other, less glamorous things we buy — and love — on the regular, too. So whether you’ve wondered about the work bags we tote around or the underwear we’re most loyal to, this is the Stuff We Buy Ourselves.
$114 at Zappos Buy From $107 at Amazon Buy Lori Keong, writer Boden Classic Sneakers My thoughts on white sneakers are very similar to Chris Black’s: never look like you’re trying too hard. I’m not into overly branded sneakers or hypebeast-y Air Maxes, and have been wearing the same pair of cheap but beautiful leather sneakers from Boden for close to two years.
From $65 at Amazon Buy $65 at Nordstrom Buy Katy Schneider, associate editor Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star High Tops Most days I’m a sneaker dullard: I either wear super-filthy off-white high-tops, or a pair of slightly cleaner, slightly neater-looking black Air Force 1s. Then there are my Halloween-y orange high-tops, which I tend to pull out of my closet when my outfit is a little boring. Those three pairs comprise my small but dependable sneaker family.
From $150 at Amazon Buy $150 at Zappos Buy Nike SB Bruin Hi Skateboarding Sneaker When I’m not wearing my Vejas, I’m wearing high-tops meant for skateboarders. I do not know how to skateboard, I doubt I will ever learn at this point, but I like the way they look with cropped pants and jeans, which are mostly what I wear these days. I spotted a pair of Nike SB Bruins in a Strategist sales post last March, in dove-gray suede with a red swoosh, and snapped them up.
$45 at Zappos Buy Dominique Pariso, writer Fear of God x Converse Chuck Taylor High Tops As many of my fellow Strat team members have already made clear: Converse forever. While I am by no means a sneaker-head, I do recommend buying a limited-edition pair if you can. They’re still affordable if you jump as soon as they drop, and the colorways often feel a little more distinctive. I wear this cream and black pair from a Fear of God x Converse collaboration often and always get compliments.
