During this time, Ye Zi talked about a lot of leather shoe brands, paying attention to our gentleman-type men, and people whose style is more orthodox and classic, they are satisfied, but they have forgotten another part of the small partners who like to wear sneakers.
Of course, gentlemen are not always accompanied by leather shoes, and occasionally changing into sneakers is naturally in a good mood.
If you want to buy a pair of sneakers at the end of the year, what should you buy, the hot explosive joint name, or the timeless classic with high cost performance?
Ye Zi believes that the vast majority of people have more than one pair of sneakers in the shoe cabinet, especially the senior sneakerhead, whether it is hot or cold, they have long been tired and tired, and they are no longer interested.
What we need at this time is a surprise, a bright spot.
If you talk about shoes that are bright enough, noisy enough, and surprising enough, you must not miss the little yellow shoes.
Recently Pantone released its 2021 Pop Color of the Year.
Illuminating and Ultimate Gray are on a par with Ultimate Gray, although the lemon yellow of previous years has only just passed, and everyone is complaining that Pantone is not new.
But I have to admit that yellow is actually very much in line with the psychological characteristics of people in the current era.
Although in recent years, in the context of Chinese, yellow often has a vulgar symbolic meaning, from the perspective of color psychology, yellow is actually a very energetic color, which can give people vitality and hope, mobilize emotional optimism and pleasure, and have a healing and soothing effect.
Moreover, in traditional Chinese culture, yellow is a noble color, as opposed to the "blue blood" of the West.
However, from the perspective of style and wear, yellow is not so popular.
Because of its slightly brighter intensity, it gives people a feeling of being difficult to control, and The leaf has talked carefully from the perspective before.
If you really can't accept the yellow clothing upper body, then it is better to step on it under your feet and change into a pair of small yellow shoes that are also eye-catching, and you can also stand out.
Why wear small yellow shoes?
Although the yellow series has frequently become a popular color in recent years, it still does not see the mainstream in sneakers and clothing design, or it is only an auxiliary color.
This also gives us the qualification to be angry, and it is not easy to crash.
In fact, even if yellow is not popular, Yezi has always believed that yellow sneakers are the third classic color that is most worth starting after black and white.
As we said earlier, first of all, yellow shoes are eye-catching enough to wear under the feet, but they are not the same as other colors, and yellow is also very textured, not as hot as other colors, but the texture is completely absent.
And with winter clothes, especially at the foot of long coats such as coats and trench coats, the addition of small yellow shoes can well brighten the thick substance of the overall style and render a vibrant and warm atmosphere, which is its biggest advantage.
In addition, it should be noted that the material of the shoes will have an impact on the expression of the yellow texture.
If it is an ordinary mesh material sneaker, the yellow color looks cheaper, because it is not enough to secretly room.
In contrast, the leaves are personally recommended is suede Suede This kind of material small yellow shoes, delicate texture with yellow color is sufficient and conspicuous enough, will not become warm and abrupt, but also very simple retro but not monotonous atmosphere.
What to buy for little yellow shoes?
After talking about the necessity of small yellow shoes, let's see what small yellow shoes can be selected?
Compared with previous years, this year's yellow color sneakers seem to be a little more frequent, and there are many hot and heavy co-branded models.
For example, in The Vapor Waffle, which Nike and sacai co-branded, has a "Tour Yellow" color scheme.
Although not all yellow, but the upper body of the shoe body is used in yellow color, and there is also the blessing of suede material, supplemented by deconstructed gradient layer design, the retro sense is not much, more is a significant outstanding fashion color.
Naturally, AJ is indispensable.
This year, whether it is Off-White's Air Jordan 1 or Travis Scott's Air Jordan 6, there is no shortage of yellow figures, and they are all "top-stream" styles.
▲ Off-White x Air Jordan「Canary Yellow」
▲ Travis Scott x Air Jordan 6「Yellow Cactus Jack」
Of course, although these styles are "well known", it is still quite difficult for most people to start.
Here the leaves are also "scavenged" to a lot of relatively low-key cold doors, as well as classic durable, cost-effective "small yellow shoes", see if they will take you "flying yellow Tengda"?
#Nike
Air Force 1 Low Retro SP「Wheat Mocha」
The shoe is also not authentic yellow, the upper is Nike's classic Air Force 1 mocha wheat color, it is actually a replica of the Nike Air Force 1 CO released in Japan in 2001. JP "Wheat" limited series, this time to bring back one of the wheat yellow style.
Although the shoe is a wheat mocha, but the standard yellow rubber sole makes it "yellow" a lot, the configuration of the dark brown upper + yellow sole, the layer is obvious at the same time, it can show a vibrant luster, and the suede made upper gives it a full retro texture, which is very rare.
What is even more rare is that Air Force 1 Low Retro SP "Wheat Mocha" was released during our National Day, the heat is not very high, the current market price is about 800 yuan, the cost performance is quite good.
Blazer Low
In addition to the Air Force 1, in Nike's classic shoes, the best yellow looking one is the Blazer Low.
Simple and classic low-top skateboard shoe type, stained with yellow more flexible and vibrant, but also mostly suede upper, the texture is also good, but nike has not recently had a new yellow style released.
However, Blazer Low has had a lot of yellow designs in its history, so we can look for previous styles.
如 Blazer Low「Yellow Ochre」和 Blazer Low GT「University Gold / Black」这两双。
They are roughly the same, except that one pair of yellow is more pure, all yellow suede upper with black rubber sole, the other pair of Swoosh Logo is black, and the retro feeling is a little stronger.

#adidas
Samba / Gazelle
Benchmarking Nike's Blazer Low, adidas' small yellow shoes should not actually be bought the most Stan Smith, but samba, Gazelle and other football shoes and retro running shoes.
Also mostly suede uppers, and paired with the iconic "raw rubber" translucent outsole, Samba and Gazelle's OG feel will be much stronger.
Unfortunately, recently adidas also has no related Samba and Gazelle "little yellow shoes" released, the heart of the small partner may wish to pay attention to the second-hand market or some Vintage styles.
However, Leaf personally remembers that last year, a pair of yellow Samba shoes were also included in the sports travel collection created by adidas and Los Angeles fashion brand Oyster Holdings.
Unfortunately, this pair of small yellow shoes did not add suede material, but used ordinary leather with fabric to create, which also led to a slight lack of retro taste.

Melting Sadness x adidas Superstar
At this year's joint cooperation between adidas and domestic trend creative brand Melting Sadness, a pair of yellow Superstar shoes was also released.
Inspired by "bee", the use of suede shoes, but the addition of fur decoration, flowers and other elements, as well as red and black and other color matching aids, there is not too much retro appeal, but enough fancy and bright.
#New Balance
992
We have always known that gray is the most classic color of New Balance, but in fact, the brand's "play color" level is not low, especially 992.
So if you're looking for a pair of New Balance's little yellow shoes, it's easier to find on the 992.
For example, this pair of "yellow gray" color 992.
Although it is said to be yellow gray, but the main body is yellow, only gray as a small amount of detail embellishment, with the New Balance retro shoe design, the brake is good-looking, different materials of the level provides a rich performance of different textures, both retro and very bright impact.
In addition, this year, New Balance also co-created a pair of "orange" 922 with Packer, a well-known sneaker store in the United States.
Although it is not really yellow, the style feels closer, and it also has a good vitality, but it has added more white, so that its retro taste is not so enough, but it is more fresh.

Chuck 70 / All Star
Finally, don't forget Converse.
In the eyes of some Converse fans, like Chuck 70, All Star these classic canvas shoes, the most symbolic significance is not black, only yellow is their choice.
With a canvas upper, unlike the suede material, the yellow canvas shoe, although the texture is not superb, it has an uninhibited active impression and can show a young and rough personality attitude.
