SNKRS Style NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe

"My name is Alani. I'm currently freelancing and dabble in creative direction, collaborative collections, styling, modelling and philanthropic work".

"I'm a multi-hyphenate creative, but my favourite art form is putting outfits together. My personal style is versatile, playful and mostly colourful".

"I wanted to create three outfits inspired by the Tom Sachs GPS Brown sneaker. The brown of the shoe is such an easy, universal colour—the shoe itself can be styled in countless ways, which is why I love it. I integrated primarily neutral everyday tones that are easily paired together to create monochromatic looks".

"This look was put together for the person who prefers mixing tight and loose clothing for a casual day. I like playing with different size elements to add dimension and comfort. It's a middle ground. The loose and tight can add a more feminine or sleek touch to an outfit".

"With this outfit, I wanted to be intentional about creating a look that was more everyday and oversized for comfort".

"I love the timeless, ageless and genderless approach to this look. I also really like the versatility that it offers in that you can add or remove the blazer and/or the hat to create a different vibe".

"My nails and accessories are part of who I am. They are the constant in expressing my personal style to its core. Whether I have a baggy, cosy, girly or dressy outfit, you can always look at my nails and accessories and see that at my core, I love to have fun with my self-expression".

"I really wanted to focus on versatility. I play with colours, silhouettes and styles that can resonate with almost every type of person. The versatility that each look offers reflects how I dress day to day".

"My personal style can easily reflect who I am and how I'm feeling. Each day, I get dressed depending on what kind of mood I'm in that day. I use my style to express all the different parts of me—I'm not confined to just one way of being".
