A classic low-top leather tennis sneaker from Adidas, worn worldwide as an everyday casual shoe.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Cited as a simple leather sneaker that pairs well with jeans or dressier pants and doesn't stand out as tourist footwear during long days of walking.

    I'd go with a simple leather sneaker like Ecco Soft 7, Vejas, or Adidas Stan Smiths.
