I gotta tell you, these red and cream dunks I copped recently? They’re fire! I’ve been meaning to get my hands on a pair of Nike Dunks for a while now, and I finally pulled the trigger. These aren’t just any Dunks, though. The colorway on these is what really caught my eye – it’s like a creamy, off-white mixed with this bold, vibrant red. Super clean and classic, but with a twist.
Styling Them
So, once I got them, the next big thing was figuring out how to style them. Here’s where things got interesting. I started with some research on the web. Many articles there tell people how to style them, but that didn’t work for me. I decided to just try them on and see for myself. Here are a few things that I did.
- Tried on different pants. First, I rummaged through my closet and tried on every pair of pants I owned. Jeans, chinos, joggers, you name it. I wanted to see which style worked best with the shoes’ silhouette. Slim-fit jeans? Straight-leg? Baggy? Each one gave off a totally different vibe.
- Experimented with colors. The red and cream combo is pretty versatile, but it does have its limits. I played around with different colored tops and bottoms to see what complemented the shoes and what clashed. Black, white, and gray were obvious choices, but I also tried some bolder colors to see if I could make them work.
- Tested with different tops. It is not just about the pants. The tops also matter. I tried them on with different tops and jackets and see which one looked better.
- Accessorized. I didn’t stop at clothes. I threw on some hats, watches, and even different socks to see how they affected the overall look. It’s the little details that can really make or break an outfit.
My Findings
After a whole lot of trial and error, I finally found a few winning combinations. One of my favorite looks is pairing the dunks with some light-wash, straight-leg jeans, a plain white tee, and a black bomber jacket. It’s casual, but the shoes add that pop of color that elevates the whole outfit. Another go-to is some slim-fit black chinos, a cream-colored hoodie, and a red cap to match the shoes. It’s a bit more put-together, but still super comfortable.
What I learned through all this is that styling is super personal. What looks good on someone else might not work for you, and vice versa. It’s all about experimenting and finding what makes you feel confident. And, of course, having a killer pair of shoes like these red and cream dunks doesn’t hurt either!
Oh, and one last thing: I made sure to get the right size. I heard that Dunks usually run true to size, but since I have wider feet, I went up half a size. Good thing I did, because they fit perfectly! Each of them costs me around $105, but it is definitely worth it!
