With the rise in popularity of mules, boots, loafers, and all other elevated variations of footwear, fashion has become too cool.

The marketplace of swag has really diversified its spread, compared to the Hype B sneaker monopoly about a decade ago.

But ironically, at the same time, I feel like there's never been more variation in what could be considered cool for sneakers nowadays.

From color scheme, material, and especially shape.

The sneaker landscape is quietly in its golden age, so as to not miss the good times as they're happening,

I'm gonna walk you through the spread and we can figure out what sneaker works best for your wardrobe and more importantly, how to style them.

So I think the way sneakers are styled has drastically changed over the past 10 years.

A decade ago is primarily just centerpiece styling, where a rare or trendy pair of sneakers would just take center stage and essentially, that would just be the fit.

If you really have f ck or whatever, you're pretty much good.

Whereas now I feel like sneaker styling has taken a more holistic approach.

The shoe pants relationship is a lot more equal.

I like to think we've matured about it, generally speaking.

We care more about silhouette and aesthetic synergy now.

And I think they are the pillars

that give sneakers an edge over any other piece that you could have in your wardrobe.

So from here on out We are just going to play into those specific strengths.

It is pointless kind of walking down the avenue of the minimal leather sneaker as you can

You can kind of communicate that idea wearing almost anything and there's nothing wrong with them You know,

I indulge in a good white leather sneaker as much as the next guy more than the next guy video is about.

Especially if you already have that covered, like you do not want to waste your money on wardrobe filler when you can be more deliberate about your choices.

It's very easy to forget about the money that you lose on pieces that you never end up wearing.

Which is why I've been personally keeping tabs on everything using the sponsor of today's video, Monarch.

Monarch is a private and ad -free financial platform that brings all of your finances into one clean dashboard.

Like I said, I'm at a time in my life where I can't afford to be financially aimless.

I really can't afford a lot.

Money's coming in and out of multiple avenues from everything I'm doing with social media, obviously the clothing brand, big one, all of my ambitions in video production.

You know, it gets quite spooky and anxiety inducing.

But Monarch simplifies everything by keeping all of it in one dashboard

so I really want to look at one spot

so I can understand when rent is due or how up I am

or how up I must be for the next big thing.

Because you want to money spread, you don't want your money spread.

Sinks with over 13 ,000 financial institutions so that no matter what your situation is,

cross -platform on both your phone and your computer.

Monarch also helps you move better with customizable rules on budgeting.

Like if your finances are a little tighter than you'd like this month, you can change the rules, or if your priorities change, again, there's a lot for you.

Using AI to analyze your income and spending, Monarch can help you map out your situation ahead of time so you don't find yourself in a hole.

And if you are lucky enough to share life with someone, they offer a shared interface for partners so that you guys are both always on the page financially.

So if you are just like me and you have no business being in charge of your own life, make money simple with Monarch by scanning the QR code on your screen now

or clicking the link in the description where you guys will

get 50 % off the entire first year using code frugal50 making it just $50 annually.

And for the peace of mind and financial maturity this can give you I feel like it's a small price to pay.

So go check it out again by scanning the Thank you to Monarch for sponsoring today's video.

We used to pray for times like this.

So let's start with the most exciting thing about sneakers in 2026.

Silhouette.

I don't think there's ever been a bigger spread of shapes and features when it comes to sneakers than like right now.

Starting with my personal favorite, these kind of slim build sneakers.

Just a big fan of a good zero calorie sneaker.

Things like the Onitsuka Tiger, you know, obviously the Samba, Just this genre of sneaker right here.

I've always personally been a fan of like these archive puma

and nike sneakers like the old Prada sports stuff too I don't know what they were doing man, but they were doing the right thing and I'm glad

that we are back on the same page I've been wearing them like this, you know, just some great contrast with a nice generous pair of pants

Stacking over top covering and having the little nose

come up

and you take a step there's just a you know this effect kind of just really harmony you know yin

and yang we love yin

and yang in the universe we see it all throughout the universe

so why not appreciate it with your pair of shoes as

well like i know you're probably looking at this like what

are those what are you wearing even you know i've never seen

that pair of shoes ever i've had my fun with them

i've been wearing them for all about a year now my personal daily skinny

the Puma VS. Just a sick and interesting pair.

I just love them.

I really like the shape.

I really like the features, the styling.

They have cool colorways.

Also, if you are wondering about the custom bodywork on these as well, that is not through wear and tear.

That is by design because I don't know what is wrong with me, man.

I don't know what's wrong with me or maybe I'm buying the wrong size

because the back of my ankle gets absolutely grafted by these when here's a picture

the top off just to like relieve some pressure from my ankle

and now they're my most worn pair of sneakers of the past year.

But more styling for the silhouette, you know, other than like this pants situation that I just showed, you know, just a nice pair of shorts, some high socks, kind of teased, cozy stacking.

Boom, slim pair of shoes, call it a day.

Classic pairing for all shapes, really.

Like how in 2016, remember how like skinny stack jeans was fit pick crack?

It was like how many stacks could you get?

But now I I feel like a nice, organic looking, cozy, little bit of stack, like, oh, that looks comfy on a pair of shoes.

If you've been living under a rock and you haven't gotten adjusted to this yet, it's just a pair of high socks, you know, usually a cozier material.

I just use the Uni -Close socks.

There is nothing special about this.

Just give them little tease, you know, give them little just with them a little bit, just like do whatever.

Not too tight, like give 'em some life.

Bang, changes up the whole vibe.

I kinda just do this whenever I'm wearing high socks, anytime, you know, even with slides.

Sometimes I'm doing it with boots, not that that even matters.

Sometimes I just, even when I'm wearing pants, I just have 'em hidden under the pants, so when I cross my legs and then they ride up and it's just like, oh, his socks are all loose and cozy.

What a chill guy.

Maybe I will give him a million dollars.

blattering silhouette.

But now if we add some meat to these things, you know, this is where it gets interesting.

I feel like the bulky sneaker narrative has finally escaped novelty and is now just another equal part of like the spread.

Personally big fan of the Nike shocks revival.

Remember the power balance bands like these that were supposed to like make you indestructible?

Like you could get hit by a car and it's like, well, at least I'm not falling over or whatever.

I thought that Nike If you get a good kick on someone with these, yeah, I don't know what I was thinking.

100

But also, hey, short king fun hack.

101

If you're a short king, if you're a little short little guy, listen up.

102

Good haircut, pair of Nike shocks, lose a little weight, you know, get in shape.

103

Boom.

104

It's like you're 5 '9".

105

And if you're a man of average height, we're not necessarily flying first class, but it's premium economy.

106

Big fan.

107

just on a generational run like they have not stopped being cool over the past five years.

108

The skate shoe revival

109

if you're really into these types of shoes there's like I don't know where these came from but they're back.

110

The hiking shoes have not lost traction.

111

Personally I think all of these are great with a nice sack stock.

112

Personally, I think all of these are great with a good sock stack combo.

113

Sack stock.

114

But yeah, the sock stack combo, it's like burgers and fries for your feet.

115

A nice wide pair of shorts.

116

Cargo pants are always nice with this as well.

117

Sweat pants, anything that you can kind of cinch at the bottom to create a little bit of contrast.

118

Or laid over, both laid over and cinched.

119

I feel like a more generous pair of pants does these shoes justice.

120

Skinny pair of pants, you know, it's like What do you know about, like, what are you gonna do with all that?

121

You don't know how to handle all that.

122

Pass me the controller, you know?

123

Like, you don't deserve all of that.

124

I suggest this template if you're just looking for a place to start.

125

Slightly oversized top, neutral to longer length, nothing to crop, nothing boxy, just, just an easy fitting top.

126

Fairly wide pair of pants or shorts.

127

Doesn't have to be baggy, I'm just saying they gotta have some shape to handle all of that.

128

some denim shorts or cargo pants personally, but you know, kind of stick to this general shape.

129

And maybe, maybe a stacked sock, bam, bulky shoe.

130

And then you can really just pick whichever one excites you from there.

131

Fairly basic template, but you know, not everything has to be complicated.

132

This top bottom combo sets you up so

133

that you do not have to confront the fear of your big shoe looking awkward, which is what I feel like a lot of people are intimidated about with this silhouette,

134

you know, just kind of for the first time ever, of action and you're like, "Oh man, I don't know what to do with all that but it's really cool.

135

But, I don't know if I can handle all that." Stick to the template.

136

But generally speaking for silhouette, in general, I feel like pants pairing, shoe pants pairing is where it matters the most.

137

For slim profile shoes, big cut, I suggest a long or medium inseam.

138

For straight cut, also same thing, long or medium inseam, nothing too skinny, nothing too cropped.

139

For bulky shoes, I feel like all just relaxed fit pants look good even if they're a little bit higher up.

140

I feel like the contrast between your big shoes and your pants always works really well.

141

Also big shorts I feel works well with both slim and bulky profile.

142

And if you found that part confusing, watch it again.

143

You know, I definitely could have worded the last part better, but I didn't.

144

So here's what I'm Obviously these are guidelines that just work in a general sense.

145

Good styling and proper pairing can make any proportion look good.

146

Just watch any wisdom video who just sh *t on the idea of like, "I don't like skinny on skinny." And then he's like,

147

"Well, f *ck you." So if you know how to style the shoes

148

and make them look well outside of the stupid guidelines that I created, that I made up, I completely made this up for the person that does not know what they're doing.

149

better, then you can do better.

150

If you just need some direction, I like these setups.

151

That's it.

152

There's nothing crazy.

153

Now we can get into the more colorful and fun part of what sneakers have to offer in 2026.

154

Themes.

155

Culturally, we are in a time right now where we want to have our cake and eat it also.

156

The need to both fit in, but also feel special, but also feel safe,

157

but also Paradox at least commercially is just just just spray and pray for aesthetic direction.

158

They were gonna hit every single niche I want every single

159

niche every single subculture every vein of nostalgia has to be covered

160

Which obviously can be taken as a bad thing but to play devil's advocate

161

It kind of gives you an opportunity to look at a spread

162

and then explore and then define what palette you actually want to create for yourself

163

having to fit into one box you get to choose and for sneakers specifically

164

there's never been more food on the fridge you know it's like looking at the menu at the Cheesecake Factory

165

and it's like you guys make all of this

166

and you're all you're like you know you're like

167

if there's all of this on the menu none of it's probably

168

that good but imagine that you can only eat at the Cheesecake Factory

169

and there's nowhere else to eat so then you're just like okay well I

170

Life kind of so life is like a big cheesecake factory

171

that you and but you can't choose any other place to eat

172

and If you were if you had to eat at the Cheesecake Factory if you had to pick a

173

Sneaker that you were gonna wear you're probably you should pick one

174

that you associate that you that you like but okay alright, so I

175

personally I hate man like I said earlier big fan of

176

the Nike shocks I was just a big part of me

177

growing up in the 2000s I just find myself gravitating towards things

178

that pioneered my taste as a kid

179

and this goes for all avenues of art really I don't

180

know how many else of you guys grew up going to

181

the cheesecake factory as a kid like they had the biggest

182

one in the world in Hawaii at one point I don't know how much of

183

that is true but it just that really with my

184

going on with that place why is the menu

185

so big how are they pulling

186

that off there's something crazy going on anyways what am i saying um nike shocks

187

but finding things

188

that associate with your personality i you know i was born in san diego i grew up in japan

189

and hawaii you know home of the biggest cheesecake just got these vans

190

that i find to be quite silly i mean it's literally in my name defining than these specific shoes right here.

191

And obviously, this is not for everyone.

192

I wouldn't imagine this is for everyone.

193

If not for the personal association to the things that make up this shoe, just visually, I don't know if I would like the shoe that much.

194

But it's the intangibles.

195

Like, when you gotta describe why you love a woman, right?

196

You're not gonna say, oh, I just,

197

that doesn't mean anything but means everything or or or you say some you say nothing that means everything or

198

Some in the middle.

199

You're not gonna say I really like the craftsmanship sneakers have

200

that intangible where like it doesn't mean anything

201

But that's what means everything also all the stuff Vans is doing to push the needle as well big fan

202

Just for aesthetics man, these Puma VS1's that I brought up earlier, you know, like again, domesticated soccer cleat, I understand the reference, I never played soccer growing up.

203

It just wasn't my thing.

204

Not that I couldn't pull up off the couch if I wanted to though.

205

But a lot of the style cues that make up a sneaker like this, they remind me a lot of like the drift cars and like that JDM scene from the 90s and 2000s,

206

very fast and furious, maximum tune, need for speed.

207

my head, you know, this almost looks like an M3 GTR if you really think about it.

208

Or like Paul Walker's R34 and too fast, too furious.

209

Kind of.

210

But see, I don't know, like the regular person might not see that.

211

I happen to see that.

212

I happen to like it.

213

You're in my cheesecake factory right now.

214

This is my personal cheesecake factory.

215

All of these things, you know, this is just very idiosyncratic to me.

216

You don't have to understand it, but that's the whole point.

217

And styling wise, the more new -age streetwear stuff as a lot of people are.

218

That mature hybrid evolution of streetwear, menswear, and everything in between.

219

This popular classic trainer we're seeing everywhere.

220

Like the Mew Mew New Balances.

221

Dries has this new one that I've been seeing making waves on the internet a lot.

222

Haven't seen people buying them, but we've been talking about them.

223

On the more affordable end, I've been a big fan.

224

Like of this Nike soccer cleat variant looking thing.

225

A lot of like the has been more ambitious with the designs as well,

226

all of which add good edge and fit thematically with this look.

227

Whether you lean more maximalist or minimalist, they work well in both contexts.

228

And also just so much of the activewear stuff in the activewear world.

229

Asics, Solomon, Puma, just a cargo pants' best friend.

230

And if you're into things like material and wardrobe modularity, things like Americana and minimalism,

231

the elevated sneaker spread has never been more tasteful in years ago, it was like, you either pick a pair of common projects

232

or whatever white leather sneaker with a logo you want to brand yourself with.

233

Nowadays there's an infinite pool of cool, elevated, minimal leather sneakers from brands like Margiela,

234

and I just throw all of them on the screen, man.

235

And the list goes on.

236

All of the silhouettes, all of the themes, all of the reasoning, the whole Cheesecake Factory menu of stuff, man.

237

All of it debunking too cool to wear sneakers.

238

They are the hits of personality that you can't really capture with a minimal leather boot.

239

Again, nothing wrong with a lot of the minimal leather footwear stuff as

240

that still does take a majority of my wardrobe up.

241

But in 2026, you know, sneakers give me the opportunity to have fun again.

242

Like, I'm tired of eating at Michelin star restaurants.

243

You gotta pig it out at the Cheesecake Factory every once in a while.

244

Just not taking fashion too seriously, giving me a that I don't have to explain.

245

Like I don't want to explain why I'm wearing a pair of red floral vans. As a grown man.

246

If you want to eat a pineapple cream Godiva strawberry cream Chocolate cheesecake...

247

with Cinnabon inside or whatever the f* they got.

248

You don't have to explain that.
