Steppin’ Out at Elon

The cold is approaching and we are on the lookout for comfortable shoes to give us the ideal “fit.” Lucky for us, a lot of the fall trends shine a mirror back to the past decades. Those retro Adidas you have been waiting to take out finally have their time to shine. Here is Elon University’s most popular footwear of the moment:

Nike Air Force 1’s

This sleek design allows for a blank canvas  for the rest of your outfit. We love these sneakers with any combination of styles. Seen on various trendy icons around Young Commons, you will look like a fashion influencer with these sporty kicks.

Funky Slip-Ons

Platform shoes you can easily throw on are all the rage on campus. From sorority philanthropy events to the homecoming concert, you can’t go wrong investing in a pair to top off your #OOTD. Slip-ons require no tricky laces or straps that could get in the way of making it to class on time. Steve Madden sells a pair that come in various colors and prints for every individual; they have a style everyone can fall in love with!

Dad Sneakers

Elon is bringing this unpopular, decidedly “ugly”, shoe back. First seen on luxury houses Balenciaga, Prada, and Dior Homme, this revamped version of dad sneakers is nothing but fresh. Vintage chunky models curated for streetwear fashion will be seen on fashion week runways and the brick walks of the Phoenix home.
