Whether or not you believe in the stars, it's so much fun finding out your destiny according to your zodiac sign! So, we've taken the stress out of buying shoes and now we're leaving it down to fate. According to the personality traits of the twelve different signs, here's what should be a must-cop on your next shopping trip. Don't agree with the choices? Sorry, it's written in the stars (cue Tinie Tempah), and IDK, maybe Mercury was in retrograde or something.
So, don't be an astrology skeptic (*cough* Virgos *cough*) and get scrolling to find out your dream sneaker based on your star sign.
Your ride or die mate.
Aries will never let you down. So it's only apt that we chose everyone's favourite sneaker silhouette: the Nike Air Force 1. When asked 'if you could only wear one sneaker for the rest of your life, which would it be?', the TSS team answered 'Air Force 1 Shadow' without hesitation. Heavily relied upon under many circumstances, it's fitting that dependable Aries are likened to the trusty Air Force 1 Shadow Triple White.
Did someone say, 'bull in a china shop?'
'Taurus the bull' is a phrase that will be familiar to many. So, it's only right that we hit you with one of the most famous red-white-black colourways of all time in honour of Michael Jordan's former basketball team, the Chicago Bulls. In comes the Off-White x Jordan 1 Chicago, all the way back from 2017. Gone, but never forgotten, this AJ1 is a lot of sneakerhead's holy grail, so was definitely deserving of a place on the sneaker horoscope.
We can't decide if 'indecisive' is the right way to describe Geminis...
Our motto when shopping is: if you can't decide, buy both! Luckily, mismatch sneakers aren't unheard of. The Jordan 1 Low Magenta is one of our favourite pairs of mismatch trainers. Great for those Geminis who can't quite decide what they like best. Green and purple, or pink and orange?
If you ever get with a Cancer, it's bound to be a passionate love affair.
Forget a quick fling. Cancers are in it for the long run. Hopeless romantics, think roses, perfume-scented love letters, and the Nike Air Max 90 Valentine's Day. Dressed in pink and red, Cupid-inspired hues, as well as brandishing heart-shaped perforations in the iconic TPU panels, this AM90's for the lovers.
It's Britney, bitch.
Okay, it's not. She's a Sagittarius. But this is definitely the attitude of those fiesty, little Leos. Intimidating (in the best way possible, of course); strong leaders; and just generally boss-ass b*tches, the only sneaker strong enough to give us goosebumps every time is the Travis Scott x Jordan 1 High Mocha. Complete with backwards Swoosh, the Travis x AJ1 doesn't follow the crowd, but leads, innovates and lets people know what's what. A lot like our Leos.
Comfort over style. Every single time.
Practical queens, Virgos will never move out of their comfort zone. 'Beauty is pain', who is she? We all know there is nothing worse than soggy trainers, but Virgos will get particularly upset about this. DW kids, we got you. The Nike Air Force 1 Gore-Tex is the shoe for you. Let the rain slide off your sneaks, meaning you can conquer comfort AND style. A win-win.
Don't ask too much of a Libra because they find it impossible to say no.
You'd find it difficult NOT to get along with Libras. World-famous people pleasers, they're out to put a smile on as many people's faces as possible. Which sneaker does the same? The Converse x CDG Play of course! We challenge you to find someone who doesn't have a soft spot for this Con, regardless of colourway or whether it's a high or low top. It completes every outfit to a T and everyone needs a pair in their life.
*ALERT* Tread lightly, Scorpio sleeping nearby.
It's no secret that Scorpios have a red-hot temper. So, we needed a red-hot shoe to match! However, despite their exterior, Scorpios are kind and generous, they just don't settle for anything less that 100%. Equipped with solid, siren-red overlays and a comfy mesh underlay, the Nike Dunk Low Disrupt seemed the perfect match for our sassy Scorpions. A chunkier silhouette compared to the usual Dunk, the Disrupt stomps through every occasion. They came to drink milk and kick ass. And they've just finished their milk.
Feelin' lucky?
If you are ever in desperate need of a stroke of luck, make sure you're friends with a Sagittarius. Carrying a 'lil bit of magic in their pockets where ever they go, a Sagittarius doesn't know the meaning of ill fortune. In fact, a Sagittarius will secure the W on SNKRS every time, so you know who to blame for all your Ls. It's only apt they have a pair of the vibrant Jordan 1 High Lucky Greens in their shoedrobe.
Take care of the pennies, and the pounds will take care of themselves.
Frugal, yet fun loving, Capricorns are the kids from school who bought their first homes at 21. If itchy palms means money is on the way, then Capricorns are constantly scratching. The ballers amongst us, Capricorns are bound to be the few people that possess the legendary Dior x Jordan 1 High as part of their collection. Now, don't be jealous. Envy looks good on no one.
Reuse. Reduce. Recycle.
We should all be making an effort to be more sustainable, but Aquarius babies are doing it better than anyone. Saving the world one sneaker at a time, Aquarius kids can be seen rocking a pair of Space Hippies if they are to live up to their reputation. Made from recycled materials, the Space Hippie is part of Nike's Move To Zero campaign, so these sneakers are certainly not reserved for our Aquarius friends, but are made for everyone.
A whole different kettle of fish.
Pisces girls are the H2O fans amongst us. Drawn to the ocean and particularly strong swimmers, it had to be the Yeezy QNTM Sea Teal. Dressed in aquatic-hued blues and greys, this Quantum moves away from the the earthy-hues of other Yeezy iterations, perfectly matching the laid back water-sign.
