How to wear the sneaker

Comfortable and the epitome of cool, sneakers have become a wardrobe essential, and whether you are wearing a pair of jeans and t-shirt, a flirty dress or a skirt and blouse combo, they have a way of instantaneously making an outfit street-wear cool. 

With human ribs, vertebrae, muscles, and skin as its chief points of inspiration the Air Max 95 with its distinctive pop of neon yellow celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with the release of two new models: the mens Air Max 95 Ultra Jacquard and the Women’s Air Max 95 Ultra. 

Designed by the creator of the Nike Roshe One and Air Max Thea – Dylan Raasch – this rendition of the Max 95 is sleeker than its forefather, which makes it  easier to style up with your everyday outfits from skirts and dresses to trousers and denim jeans. In this post, fashion blogger Thithi Nteta has kept the look casual cool in a white vest, boyfriend jeans and black blazer, thus allowing for the sneakers to make a statement in the look. “If you are apprehensive about wearing sneakers or making your first sneaker purchase, I always suggest that one pick something in grey, black or white so that you are able to integrate said sneaker into your wardrobe easily,” comments Thithi on getting your first pair of kicks. 

The Nike Sportswear Women’s Air Max 95 Ultra is currently available on  nike.com/sportswear as well as select Nike Sportswear retailers.
