When it comes to sneakers, I have always been into vintage style running sneakers. When I saw the Brooks Heritage Men’s Beast 1, it immediately took me back to the 90’s…which is a good thing, because I loved that era! I feel like I haven’t been skateboarding since then, so when I put these on, I figured let’s really bring it back and grab Nate and my board and hit the skatepark. I threw on some black comfy joggers and a black oversized jersey shirt, to keep it comfy but cool. I went through a phase were I didn’t wear socks with sneakers at all, and now any chance I get to add socks to my look I’m on it. I figured a plain pair of white socks would really bring out the 90’s vibe with these Brooks Heritage Sneakers. And, since I’m probably going to skate like s***, I might as well look like a boss (lol).  I have to admit, I was pretty stoked and nervous to get back out there. I haven’t been skateboarding since forever, and even back then I wasn’t even that good! 🙂 It was actually pretty fun cruising around and I definitely think it’s something I’ll be doing more often. My son, absolutely loved it! I was able to put him on the board hold his hands and pull him around the park. His balance was so on point, I was even able to pull him up and down the ramps and quarter pipes and he was fearless. Being back at the park definitely brought back some memories. There’s not as many photos of myself actually skating, because lets face it, there were very little that were blog-worthy (lol). Overall, I really dig the vibe the Brooks Heritage Men’s Beast 1 kicks gave my outfit. I’m a big fan of the way they bring out the retro in their line. You can never go wrong with a pair of vintage looking sneakers!

I was really excited that Brooks reached out to me to style a new pair of their sneakers from their Heritage collection. I knew they had well-known running shoes but wasn’t really aware that they had casual footwear – which is right up my alley because vintage trainers are one of my favorite style sneakers. The Men’s Vanguard from their Mother Nature collection is super lightweight and very comfortable. I really dig it’s silhouette and the versatility to be able to dress them up or down. These classic colors really play into that retro vibe that I like. My style overall is mostly casual so I styled them in that classic, school-boy look, but I can definitely see myself rocking these with some fitted slacks, a plain white tee and a sports coat…I’m a big fan of mixing dressy with casual and these are the type of kicks that would work well with that look. I’m going to keep my eye on this brand as I’ve noticed they’re been doing some limited edition collabs with other companies and being a big sneakerhead, I like to get my hands on those exclusive pieces! If you’re in the market for some classic kicks with a throwback vibe, definitely check out Brooks’ Heritage Collection. I’m a big fan!
