Weekend Warrior



It's that time of the week again... Friday, finally! Oh how we've missed you. There's just something about Fridays that put that extra pep in your step and make everything seem better, not even a delayed subway or freezing winds can crush your spirit. It also means we're another day closer to Christmas, which is now officially only 17 days away!
For many of us, Christmas is a time for giving and sharing, and your TTG Girl Gang have been thinking of ways to give back this Holiday season, as we said we would do in our #GivingTuesday blog post. If you're the same, then don't forget to check out our 2018 Holiday Sneaker Drive taking place this Monday at the Sneakersnstuff flagship store at 22 Little W 12th St in Manhattan. Hosted by none other than New York Knicks forward Lance Thomas and teammate Damyean Dotson, the event will benefit the New York City Department of Homeless Services. All you have to do is bring along your lightly-used or brand new sneakers to donate for an opportunity to meet Thomas and Dotson, AND receive an autographed photo!

On the subject of sneakers, unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have heard SOMETHING about Kylie Jenner, Adidas and Falcons. And no, Kylie has not become involved in falconry. The social media mogul and beauty entrepreneur created a flurry on Instagram lately when she posted photos of herself decked out head-to-toe in Adidas. Kylie, who is an ambassador for the brand, teased a new Adidas collection celebrating fearless females, and lucky for us, it just launched yesterday!


Part of the collection, which is quickly selling out, are the brand's popular 90s-inspired Falcon sneakers! The shoes are being likened to 'Dad' shoes, a trend embraced by a number of designers this year, including Balenciaga and Gucci.

With signs 'Dad' sneakers are here to stay, we've put together our top 5 picks of the hottest retro shoes for you to get your hands (or feet!) on.



1) Reebok Aztrek x Gigi Hadid, reebok.com - $110
Designed in collaboration with Gigi Hadid, with chunky soles and a retro color selection, these redesigned old-school Aztreks truly are the dad sneakers of your dreams.



2) Triple S Trainer, balenciaga.com - $950
Like the Reebok Aztreks, these Balenciaga kicks are an update of its classic Triple S silhouette. Although on the higher end of the price scale, with a durable yet lightweight sole and ready to wear old-school look, these chunky shoes are definitely an investment for sneakerheads to consider.


3) RS-X Toy Sneakers, puma.com - Price TBC
Set to be introduced to Puma stores around the US on December 14th, with their fun color block design and bulky silhouette, these nostalgia-packed trainers will take you back to an era of iconic toys that generations grew up with.



4) Disruptor II Premium, fila.com - $65
Arguably the most popular 'Dad' shoe to appear on your Instagram feeds, the Fila Disruptor II was originally conceived back in 1996 by a New York-based design team. With its affordable price and retro nostalgia, this shoe burst back onto the fashion scene this year and set the trend for chunky sneakers to come!




5) Nike Air Monarch IV, nike.com - $50
Causing plenty of division in the sneaker universe, the unisex Monarch IV's, with their lightweight cushioning and durable support, still sell better than almost every other Nike shoe. It is also thought to be the OG dad shoe!

There you have it! Don't forget to check out the 2018 Holiday Sneaker Drive on Monday, and what better reason to donate some of you lightly-worn sneakers than if you plan on picking yourself up a pair of new chunky sneakers! We hope you have a fabulous weekend, and you're enjoying your Friday night. I know we are! x
