All you need is 1) Low-top slim sneakers (Goes well with shorts & summertime) 2) A Mid-top chunky sneaker (Goes well with most casual pants) 3) Boots (Goes well with most casual pants & for rougher weather) 4) Dress Shoes (Goes with formal attire for fancy events obviously) Get colors that are a similar or same shade of pants you own.

ASICS gel lyte 3 gets very little love in the “all time classic sneakers” convo. They’ve so versatile, generally very affordable, and come in a variety of atypical color ways. Not to mention 1000x more comfortable than af1’s or chucks. After years of buying over priced, over saturated jordans (no disrespect to Jordan fans), the ASICS gel lyte 3 has become my go to signature shoe.
actually agree with this (given were talking about the 1460, not the 1461) although i have a lot more shoes since i skate and therefore need like a new pair of skate shoes every so often
My shoe collection only expanded beyond a daily loafer/sneaker plus a rare dress shoe for special outings when I started being more active. Once you start branching into jogging, gym, trail running etc the shoe collection explodes.
Yeah or just sports in general, I used to just have a pair of blundstones but now I have a pair of runners, squat/deadlift shoe, basketball shoe, rock climbing shoe, and golf shoe
@@timj6897 you can replace loafer with any type of casual slipper. I think it’s enjoyable to have a slipper/slide/moccasin/loafer for lounging around the house and chilling outside.
My everyday shoe is a leather Converse hightop. It goes with everything and looks good. For a slightly upgraded look, I wear a casual Chelsea boot with a chunky sole.
0:10 every FASHION situation right? So if we're talking absolute essentials there should be a 6th: sports. Sneakers are cool, but nothing beats a good pair of performance sports shoes.
"boots can be a little bit pricier, this for example can be around 400€" Wow man, i consider a shoe expensive if it is more than 100€... 400€ for a pair of boots is just unreachable for 95% of people out there
But... a $400 boot is gonna have a good thick leather and a Goodyear welt, so the leather’s gonna age like a fine wine and you can resole it a dozen times. You’re talking a twenty-year boot.
@@marktroup2978 ah come on, we’ve all seen that old boot story that encapsulates the plight of the lower-class individual - the wealthy man is able to afford that $400 purchase and won’t have to buy new ones for years. the poorer one has to get a cheaper pair of boots or whatever since they can’t validate that expensive purchase but will eventually spend more since theirs break down. i think the sentiment here is generally “ah man sucks that this video made me believe that unless i’m dropping over $200 on shoes that i can’t be *in* with fashion trends”
Aztec Dr. Martens 1460 Stacy Adams Black Class Oxford Dress Shoes Ontisuka Tiger Bruce Lee Fear of God Essential Converse Lunar Air Force 1 Duckboots. All time greatest shoes....
For boot check out the Mexican company called " Luxxe Mx" they sell boots in the styles of saint laurent, celine, etc for a fraction of the price but amazing quality
I was on the same boat for years, still kinda am. My podiatrist suggested Asics shoes which have options for feet that's broad at the front. I've never walked more comfortably.
1. Trekking shoes or Trail running shoes 2. Converse Everyday Shoes 3. Running/Gym Shoes 4. Full White Sneakers 5. Formal Leather Sneakers That's it. That's all you need.
This might be the most american centric fashion thing I'vd seen in a long time. 1.Chelsea boots will never be an all around boot, they are worse than sneakers in snow 2. 200$ as your standard price range is crazy, most people dont own shoes worth 200$ 3. You dont wear brown dress shoes if you dont have multiple pairs, that's extremely basic dress shoe rules 101. Black oxfords are go-to for a reason, same reason for why you don't have brogues if you only have one pair
All you need is 1) 1 running shoes or tennis shoes for exercise 2) 1 Sperry top sider or a similar shoe 3) 1 working boots 4) 1 chuck Taylor hi tops 5) 1 formal shoes for freak weddings and such These are all the 5 pairs of shoes you need

I swear by my doc martins. They go with everything and always add more personality to any fit
they also look like school shooter boots
This is for men?
@@kensta2468 I’m a man and own 3 pairs of docs
@@molusk4031 congratulations. Beat it!
they are shoes they dont have personality
Those Dr. Martins are actually derby shoes even if the style says oxford. Derbys are much more casual than oxfords as seen in this video.
was about to write the same thing, good man
I dont know how this video can have any credibility when the presenters don’t know the difference between oxfords and derbys.
@@6BURG9 my guy didn't know what to call the wallabee even though he uses the word ''moccasin'' in his next sentence.
My pick for must-have 3 shoes:
1. Doc Marten 1461
2. Vans Old Skool
3. Red Wing Iron Ranger
I really thought the old skool or the skate-his would of made the list
Pretty solid list there. 👍
only the made in England 1461's. the Asia ones are trash 🗑️
Three pairs
-converse high tops
-air forces , Jordan or dunks (some kind of chunky trainer)
-docs

As a Jamaican I appreciate that even GQ knows no shoe collection is complete without a pair of Clarks.
Nah
What you actually need: loafer, some type of lace up dress shoe/boot, and a sneaker.
ehy would you need a loafer
@@timj6897 you can replace loafer with any type of casual slipper. I think it’s enjoyable to have a slipper/slide/moccasin/loafer for lounging around the house and chilling outside.
“They’re worth it cuz they’re Gucci”
Hard pass
I mean gucci makes extremely high quality clothing. Branding aside they are some of the best shoes you can get.
He’s not wrong tho 🤷♂️
"super accessible their all gonna clock in under 200 dollars" Sir I think you need to reevaluate what accessible means to most people

@@DarrenBates Ey, got those too.
This is a really correct baseline protocol for men's footwear... Thank-you so much
If you’re recommending Australian boots - it’s gotta be the RM Williams. That’s the Aussie classic - just ask Hugh Jackman
For people who DONT have money like Hugh Jackman though I recommend Redbacks. Same as or better than Blundstone for less $$$
I'm surprised the Clarks Desert Boots aren't on the list. I have the same pair for over 10 years and they're looking really good.
Just bought them in black suede, really comfortable out of box. Which ones do you have?
It’s a must to have gym shoes, cmon GQ!!
hyperbeast sneakerheads will not gonna relate on this LOL
Chucks, Chelsea Boots, Loafers , Oxfords, and Tennis Shoes 👍🏽👍🏽
As an American I feel like I’d have to live in ny or Portland to be able to pull off most of these shoes
You need to expand your mind. I live in San Diego and I have all of these and more in my rotation.
Shoes or these outfits? Cuz these people are wearing black oxfords casually. 😂
They forgot to add "for hipsters in their mid 20s" in the title.

i own like 4,5 shoes and hers what they are
1. Vans sk8 Low vintage
2. Converse 70s Chuck
3. Nike Vomero 16 (running shoes)
4. Armani Dress Shoe

And i wish i could have Vans and Nike Blazer 77
I have 2 of 4 in ur list. I’m getting the 77.
missing a pair of Grey Larry David New Balance shoes
The omission of Stan smiths is a crime I cannot overlook.
this is for a very niche style, not so much urban wear or even modern basic

i literally only wear birkenstocks cause they are the only shoes that don’t give me pain and that fit my feet.
You need to get your feet fixed if you have so much foot pain.
I was on the same boat for years, still kinda am. My podiatrist suggested Asics shoes which have options for feet that's broad at the front. I've never walked more comfortably.
I feel like the only shoes you’ll only ever need is white and black Chuck 70s and a pair of Dr martens 1460 and 1461

Please do GQ recommends pants in 2022
What is the name of the boot at 4:40 and 4:59? Those look so fleek together with the zip👌 Please help me out!
Not sure the brand but just google chelsea boots with zippers
Saucony classics are the nicest
Saw the first shoe and that was enough.
A great Watch! Thanks GQ!

Does anyone know the name of the shoes Tyler is wearing????

Nike sliders, Chelsea boots, and all white sneakers is all you need

It's a men's magazine?
"its like uhhh, baconeggandcheese...for your feet." RESPECTFULLLYYYYYY HAHAHAHA
Anything by Crockett and Jones if you’re looking for a loafer, dress or boot, In my opinion.
What are Tyler the creator shoes at 2:16 and are there similar shoes to that one?
I have dress shoes, all black. Should i have a Chelsea boot?
Really like this list👌👀
With these outfits who decided these guys are fashion experts lolol

4) 1 chuck Taylor hi tops
5) 1 formal shoes for freak weddings and such

So y’all are just gonna gloss over the brand name of the shoes Tyler was wearing
I appreciate how informative this video is but it's hard to take them seriously when the so-called editors have questionable sense of style.
Anyone else just watching for the ceinge?
Can somebody please tell me the name of the boots at 4:41 I am dying for them

I prefer the chukkas more than chelsea boots to be honest!
How tall are you? Want to see if the medium sweat is a coo for me or not!
What shoes Tyler wearing?
I don't think loafers are essential, they fit for some certain styles.
Full White low sneakers
Chelsea boots
Penny loafers
Oxford
Running shoes
Whats the different of lace up shoes and dress shoes?
Which boots was jonah wearing?
