I recently arrived home from a week long trip in Hong Kong. Being my first time in Asia, I was a little nervous for the tight crowds. But on the plus side, I am a huge fan of people watching, which Hong Kong proved itself to be incredible for.
While adventuring around, I noticed that the majority of the [over 7 million!] people who reside there, walked and took the MTR (subway) for transportation.
For being there only a week, my feet were an absolute mess. I actually took a photo of my feet on the last day of my trip because of how worn out they looked.
(I will not be showing that photo, I do not want to make anyone sick...)
Now let me remind you, Hong Kong is very big on fashion trends and labels, therefore I was expecting to see people in crazy high heels and outrageous outfits - I couldn't have been more wrong (regarding shoes).
I guess because everyone uses their feet for transportation, it seemed as though almost ALL of the people were wearing sneakers - and when I say sneakers I mean NEW BALANCE! Sneakers seem to be part of the culture there. Even if someone was dressed up, more often than not there would be sneakers on their feet. Seeing this throughout the week of my holiday really has shown me just how fashionable you can make a simple pair of sneakers. The sport stores seemed to be busiest of them all, to the point where it was difficult to shop, let alone move.
Here is a photo outside of the New Balance store inside of Hong Kong's largest shopping mall.
With all of the sneaker inspiration I had in Asia, I have compiled a collection of fall looks to consider while throwing on a comfy pair of sneakers.
All of the photographs below were sourced from Pinterest, if this photo should be labelled otherwise, let me know!
