kicks choices for sxsw and Red Bull LAN

by Kevin Doohan in


One of the things I dislike about travelling is having to wear the same kicks during the trip. For sxsw & Red Bull LAN, I'll be on the road for a over 10 days...so I'm bringing three pairs.

Some thought went into these choices. There's lots of walking at sxsw so they all have to be comfortable. I'll be inside and outside at clubs where people might step (gasp!) on my kicks or spill drinks so dark colors are better. It looks like rain the first few days so suede should probably be avoided but I added the P-Rod V NIKEiD "Ireland" because I'll be in Florida on St. Patricks Day and I need the Irish spirit. Have I put too much thought into it?  Absolutely. But that's part of the fun.  Check out my choices below. What do you think?

Nike Zoom Kobe VII - 2012 All-Star QS "Galaxy"

Nike SB Paul Rodriguez V - NIKEiD "Ireland"

Nike Air Max 90 VT Medium Grey/Anthracite-Black
