The summary of this post says it all, highlighting one of the most versatile and practical pairs of shoes in my closet, my favorite black and white Nikes. I could stop right there it probably needs just a bit more explanation. You may recall that I never used to be a sneaker girl outside of the gym but particularly after moving to Europe I changed my tune. I now wear a few pairs quite regularly with dresses and casual outfits but my defaults are always my black and white Nikes.
I have had a few pairs over the years – pictured below are the and the both of which I like equally – and they have been around the world and back. Take a look at the versatile and travels – they would have at least a dozen passport stamps by now!
Pena Palace, Sintra, Portugal
Herengracht Canal, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Parliament Building, Budapest, Hungary
Notting Hill, London, England
Danube River, Bratislava, Slovakia
Laocoon and His Sons, Vatican Musuem, Vatican City

Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, Germany

I could dig back through my archives and find many more examples of how I have worn these sneakers but I am sure these give you the sense of just how versatile they are. I am currently wearing these which are currently on sale for less than $55! I can not wait until we get to start traveling again where these shoes will definitely be in my suitcase as they pair with workout attire at the gym, flirty Summer dresses, and everything in between.
What do you think of these black and white Nikes?

This pair looks particularly good with your travel dresses. I never know what to wear for comfy footwear when I know I am going to have to walk a ton.
These look like they will fit the bill, thanks for the suggestion Kelly.
PS love looking through some of your travels again.
Janine says
Glad you finally got on board with sneakers for outside the gym though the way you and Mark walk I would consider those workouts.
Tessa says
Nike makes the best quality products. They are my go to sneaker and workout wear.
Let’s hope that they don’t ever change!
Charlotte says
I have a pair and they really are the best! Super comfortable too.
Alex says
It’s amazing to me how many outfits this actually goes well with. I always struggle with a travel shoe if I know I need to walk a lot on a trip. Especially over cobblestones. Good choice Kelly.
