Vive Las Vegas and all things poker today! In the realm of shoes, there are infinite possibilities to where you can take them- sort of like good old Vegas, itself. When you play poker, you might be looking for sneakers that embody all the flash, trash, and fun that accompany the game, and we began a treasure hunt to find a few.
An all-time favorite shoe of ours are Keds. The great thing about Keds is their ultra-versatility, which has kept them strong in popularity for nearly forty years. They are comfortable, casual, and the perfect thing to sport on the town.
Every pair of Keds is a blank canvas, and we found a whole pile of great high-tops and low-tops that fit the brief. Check out the Vegas trash-cool of these 10 poker inspired kicks!
Working with the classic black, white, and red color scheme of the game, these Keds have got style in spades….hearts, clubs, and diamonds too. This is a pair for a card shark who favours the classics.
Bet you feel like the King in these killer high-tops, ready for action at the party, street, or dealing table. Something in the smile of his eyes tells me you’re in for a lucky streak in a pair of these.
P-p-p-poker face p-p-poker face! Well, someone had to equate the two. Ultra graphic, a little artsy- you definitely can’t read his (her?) poker face.
Cool idea- throw off your opponents with your shoes’ hypnotizing properties. Psychedelics have definitely made a comeback this year, and these crazy kicks definitely hit the mark. Fun, colorful, and trippy, you start to feel like Alice in Wonderland falling down the rabbit hole if you stare hard enough.
It’s cool to let everyone know exactly where you stand in the scheme of things. In the case of these shoes, it’s kind of like wearing your heart on your sleeve, or heel, rather. Is this a good move? Hard to say. Guess that’s the point of being the wild card- you never really know what you’re going to get.
Definitely wasn’t kidding about the blank canvas aspect of Keds sneakers. Absolutely anything can be done with them, and this ode to Hugh is the wackiest, and arguably funniest, example yet.
Burning Aces! These Pro-Keds high tops are actually scorching. Made for hot shots, and poker trail blazers, don’t mess with this guy, because he’s ready to burn you to the ground! Count on plenty of death stares in the process.
Using all the graphic details of classic face card designs, these low-tops have been given a kaleidoscopic vision of colour and pattern. It starts to look a little Brady Bunch when looking too hard, but maybe that’s the beauty in it all.
These shoes are a bit more grimacing than the rest. The dark side of poker! Poker just isn’t for everybody- as that skeleton’s untimely hand goes to show! Too many late nights away from the family? Wear these as a tale of caution to your poker playing peers.
Vive Las Vegas as promised! These Pro-Keds high tops are full of all the iconic gusto and pizzazz you’d expect from a shoe dedicated to the Entertainment Capital of the World. Shut up and put your money where your mouth is, and keep it flashy when celebrating this city, and the iconic game!
Shoes are undoubtedly a form of expression, and a pair of stand-out sneakers is a definite must for any serious shoe collection. Hopefully our poker theme has opened the doors of possibility in your mind.
