The best things in life are free, unless it’s a sleek pair of sneakers. Those will cost you (but they’re worth it).

Drinks in the city after work? There’s a sneaker for that. Sunday brunch with family? There’s a sneaker for that. Finally giving your two weeks at that corporate job you hate? Yup, there’s a sneaker for that too (10 bucks if you can spot them).
