Matt Halfhill<\/strong> knows his shoes.<\/p>\n

The founder and publisher of Snkrs Day lives and breathes shoes on a daily basis. Therefore, conversations with him about sneakers are filled with his exuberance about the topic and are pleasantly endless.<\/p>\n

When asked what shoe stands out as his personal favorite, he remains loyal to the answer he truthfully believes: “It hasn’t been created yet.” However, that doesn’t mean he’s not enthused by the innovative silhouettes, collaborations and new styles that release every month. To coincide with the release of the Snkrs Day x Vans Vault “The Duel,” his fifth sneaker collaboration, we caught up with Matt to find out what kicks make up his five-sneaker rotation. As expected, this installment of My 5<\/a><\/em> is full of versatility.<\/p>\n

New Balance 1300 CL “Steel Blue”<\/h3>\n

Matt Halfhill<\/strong>: “The 1300 is an amazingly comfortable shoe, and it has a ridiculous level of quality; and oh yeah, it’s made in America for $130. How could I not support jobs here in America with some of my footwear choices? It’s a no-brainer. It’s probably my favorite New Balance shoe of all time.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max LeBron VII “Cool Grey”<\/h3>\n

Matt Halfhill<\/strong>: “I mess with the?Foot Locker exclusive “Cool Grey” LeBron VIIs a lot. Back in 2010, there was another pair of “Cool Greys” that had people hyped up, but for me, these were the best “Cool Grey” shoes that came out in that year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day x Vans Vault Sk8 Hi “The Duel”<\/h3>\n

Matt Halfhill<\/strong>: “The denim and the leather just came out perfect. I’ve always been a fan of ostrich as well. This shoe actually pays tribute to my first pair of boots as a kid that were made of ostrich skin.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike LeBron 9 PS Elite White\/Metallic Gold<\/h3>\n

Matt Halfhill<\/strong>: “I definitely have to put my white\/metallic gold LeBron Elites in there. I couldn’t believe that they made the LeBron 9 better than it was when these came out. The Elite is very durable and stable, and it’s just a rock-solid shoe. The white, black and gold is such a unique color combination as well; it definitely stands out all the way down to the detail on the laces. Everything about this shoe is tough.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In4mation x Vans Chukka Low “Rattles”<\/h3>\n

Matt Halfhill<\/strong>: “The In4mation Vans are absolutely bananas. I think they’re gorgeous with the reptilian pattern. This goes back to the whole boots thing. I love animal skins. Also, I personally love the meaning behind the phrase, “Don’t Tread On Me” and what it represents. For that to be on the shoe kind of makes it that much more special.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
