I've seen this term 'minimalist sneaker' around and used in different ways.

How do you all define minimalist sneaker?

Is there too much going on for these Everlane to be a minimalist sneaker?

Minimal usually sneakers without a lot of visual complexity; ex. single color sole and solid-tone upper. As mentioned common projects' achilles is a pretty standard metric for 'minimal sneaker', however they aren't cheap... but i'd put a number of keds, chuck taylor, vans and others in that lane too.

everlane specifically... not fan. I tried a few shirts, pants, sweats and so on 5-6 years ago and wasn't really impressed, even taking into account the pricepoint.

I didn't go with them at the end. Didn't get a minimalist sneaker. I'm ordering New balance 550 gray suede. Just a standard everyday sneaker that doesn't look goofy lol. I never liked all white or all black shoes.

What would yall rock with this? I ordered these boots thinking that they would match my jacket but its more of a dark honey color rather than khaki. Do yall think I could pull it off? I was thinking about rocking a black fitted sweater with it but idk (ignore the wrinkled pants...they'll get pressed up lol)
