I got my first pair of high tops for my 18th birthday two years ago. They were a pair of Etnies and I fell in love immediately! They looked so sweet when they were new, but being 2 years old in the photo they look a little battered!
I wore them everywhere, so much so that they were almost a part of me for a while! The print is just so cool, metallic rainbow roses, pretty apt really, and the pink details, they just ticked every box for me!
The difference between normal trainers and hi tops is that in a pair of normal skate shoes, the plastic in the heel will wear through before they even looked knackered, but these sneaks have been doing me well for the last 2 years and they're still well comfy! Value for money? Hell yeah!
The other thing I love is how good they look, I think it's the fact that the shoe has more to it, it's obviously taller than a normal shoe so it adds something more to the top. Being a size 7 some shoes make my feet look like little canal boats, but hi tops give me that balance.
These are Odessa Dylan G's, they are by far the coolest trainers I have seen. (Apart from the Adidas Originals Jeremy Scott sneaks, but I'll talk about them in a later blog!)
I got these in September and even though I have to wear three pairs of socks to make them comfortable, they're my babies! I just love all the little details, like the strap with the metal emblem on the loop and the yellow piping round the heel. The colours are bright and the material is shiny! I just think they're so cool!
They have lasted really well so far too. Usually when you get a pair of shoes that are more fashion than function they tend to fall apart rapidly. But even after accidentally jumping into a puddle in them, they still look amazing and feel as good as when i got them!
I think Odessa did a whole range of Dylan G's in a multitude of colours, from pastels to metallics and earth tones! I'd love to get a different pair for each day of the week, I think they're ace!!!
