If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know I love a shoe that can make the outfit—and the Steve Madden Momentum in Gold absolutely does.
Metallic sneakers have moved well beyond being a trend piece. I think of them almost like a neutral now, especially with denim. The gold adds warmth + interest without making the shoe difficult to wear.
This is the sneaker I’d reach for when a basic white pair just isn’t doing enough.
WHY I LOVE IT
Gold works surprisingly well as a neutral
Instantly updates denim + basics
Sporty silhouette balances the metallic finish
Adds interest without requiring a complicated outfit
Great with denim, black, cream + chocolate brown
Easy way to bring metallic into an everyday wardrobe
Makes even jeans + a tee feel styled
DEAR LUCY EDIT
YOUR WHITE SNEAKERS CAN TAKE THE DAY OFF. ✨
I'd wear the Momentum with wide-leg denim + a white tee + oversized blazer and let the gold be the fun part.
Or go more casual with leggings + an oversized button-down + sweater tossed over your shoulders.
And don't save these for dressing up. The whole reason I love a metallic sneaker is because it looks best mixed into your everyday wardrobe.
A little unexpected. Very wearable. And much more interesting than another basic sneaker.
