Grey Skies, Grey Sneaks

We’re all still fresh off the buzz of the new year (hopefully you’re hangover is gone, but you’re still amped to make 2016 the best yet), but that doesn’t mean we’re not struggling to keep that cheery mood with the current forecast. January kicks off what some deem the worst time of year: Q1. With months of winter still left, and the Christmas decorations that band-aid the dreary streets about to come down, it’s easy to have some serious disdain for those grey skies.

Before you swear off cloud-filled overcast and start practicing your sun dance, let’s take some inspiration from above and put it to good use. Grey, concrete, heather and charcoal, when used as the color foundation for these great new sneakers, may be just what you need to turn that frown upside-down. Whether it’s the super sleek 2016 Tokyo Design Studio shoes from New Balance, or the Huf Essex where grey meets gum, this pigment gets new life when applied to stylish kicks.
