It is difficult to swim against the tide. On the ground it would seem as though we all need a pair of Nike trainers in order to appear trendy. But trends change, style is permanent. Either you have it or you don’t. In selecting trainers, I decided to go for styles I like and wish to wear. Not only are these inexpensive but I guarantee you won’t see more than five people in a day in any of these.

Clarks just dropped their spring collection and they are really eye catching. Being Jamaican means there’s always a pair of Clarks in your collection. At this point, these are my work shoes, classic wingtip brogues. Of the new releases, I’m particularly interested in copping this pair.
