We’ve always been fans of flashy running shoes, but those are strictly for the gym our pounding the pavement.  For casual wear we normally stick with more subdued hues.  This Summer, we’ve decided it’s time to change things up a bit and take the plunge on a pair of Day-Glo Yellow Tretorn Nylites by Sid Mashburn.

Introduced as a tennis shoe in the late 60’s Nylites have been a staple in many preppy wardrobes for decades, and they’ve enjoyed another resurgence over the past few years that has introduced them to a whole new generation.  The Sid Mashburn version of this classic shoe is definitely a bold choice.  Featuring a custom dyed Day-Glo yellow upper, navy liner and accents, and a white sole to bring it all together, these Nylites definitely aren’t for the faint of heart.  That being said, if you’ve been looking for a casual pair of Summer shoes that are guaranteed to turn some heads, you absolutely can not go wrong with a pair of Sid Mashburn Nylites.
