Complete these updated retro looks with only the freshest pairs from the Skechers x BT21 sneaker collection
The streetwear-inspired Skechers Street Uno is getting a fun rehash as the primary silhouette for the shoe brand’s collaboration with the iconic Line Friends characters we’re sure you’re more than familiar with. With each version serving as an homage to each of the eight cuddly BT21 rascals, you can finally rep your bias while keeping your fashion choices in vogue. Where do you begin? No worries. We made a styling guide for each of the dazzling colorways so that you can maximize your style with any pair you choose.
Make it magic with Mang
Mang’s heart-shaped pink nose and purple mane take over as the primary accents for this ditzy colorway. With its childlike, moody hues, you can enjoy playing around with your style by mixing up both sporty and preppy options that match the sneaker’s colors for both of your tops and bottoms. Tie-dye’s recent resurgence to fashion trends have been very much welcomed to create getups with a slight hint of the 60s. The Mang sneakers are the perfect piece of footwear to cap off the style.
Outfit Hack: Pair a solid pink sweater with a pink-hued tie-dye skirt. Finally, furnish your Mang sneakers with a comfy pair of white socks for the perfect casual Wednesday outfit.
Take Tata to the streets
The striking reds and yellows of this colorway perfectly captures the courage of the BT21 alien leader. Looking like it was plucked straight out of the lionized era of basketball sneakers during the 90s, the Tata sneaker is the perfect pair for a fashion statement whether you’re at school or at work. Don’t be afraid to travel through the decades with this timeless piece—like our 70s-inspired look below—and make sure to match the intensity of the sneaker with a bright-colored top. Complete the get-up with a classic pair of jeans to make it truly street-worthy.
Outfit Hack: A fiery red bandana-top with high-rise jeans complimenting the Tata Sneakers screams as an ideal summer outfit.
Keep it versatile with Van
The inanimate blankness of ARMY’s stoic space robot is tactfully represented with the Van sneaker’s hue-less colors—while also having a touch of life through some slivers of turquoise. With such an understated silhouette, the styling opportunities you can create while donning the Van sneakers are almost endless. To get a solid street ambience, a denim piece in any form will truly harmonize your outfit with the sneaker’s shoelaces. A pair of jeans may do, but a cute overall or jumpsuit could raise the cartoonish inspirations from the shoe a couple levels up.
Outfit Hack: A baggy denim overall or jumpsuit accompanied by a comfortable top of your choice for these Van Sneakers.
A chill Chimmy look
Bright greens and yellows dominate the silhouette of the Chimmy sneakers, allowing you to get a tad more experimental with your overall motif, while keeping the retro inspirations open. You can rep the playful puppy by brandishing a snuggly baby yellow top, or by complementing the overall tone of the shoes with some light toned greens. Balance out your look with a complementing piece of cute headwear matching your top.
Outfit Hack: Rock an 80s-inspired cool denim skirt with a yellow-on-yellow sweater and hat for the Chimmy Sneakers.
Rock it with Koya
One look at the Koyas and you will instantly be reminded of your favorite sleepy koala with its cool blue and lavender combinations. This sporty sneaker is the perfect pair to anchor your get-up around as it allows you to pick and match between common colors such as blacks, whites, and grays for your garments. Solid, muted outfits with smart layering are sporting choices for a slightly pop punk-inspired look from the 2000s.
Outfit Hack: Channel your inner-Ramona Flowers with high-rise gray trousers, with a tank-and-tee combo to match the Koya Sneakers.
A Cooky creation
Feeling a bit rebellious? The Cooky sneakers will give you the spirited edge you’re looking for. The pink bunny’s perky persona is captured tactfully with the beaming hot pinks of this fresh pair. Keep your get-up playful by going for an eye-popping, Lava Girl-esque top-and-bottom matchup, along with an audacious piece of headwear to top it all off.
Outfit Hack: Throw it back to a rebellious time period with an all-pink top-and-bottom matchup and a vibrant tie-dyed bandana for the Cooky Sneakers.
Shake it up with Shooky
The rambunctious persona of Shooky is encapsulated with his sneaker’s playful combinations of aqua and orange detail. Slightly reminiscent of the colors of familiar sports teams, you cannot go wrong in pairing these shoes with a slew of baggy sportswear such as a snuggly combo of sweaters and track pants. For those who dare to wear something a little bit different, the Shookys were built for optimum styling flexibility. Donning a matchup with preppy elements in the form of button-up jackets and skirts will fit just as well for a unique switch-up.
Outfit Hack: Chartreuse makes it as a tasteful matchup for the Shooky Sneakers with a long skirt paired with a shirt and a linen jacket.
Get Scorching with RJ
Fiery reds and oranges are the unflinching statement for the RJ sneakers, contrasting the sensibilities of the mild-mannered Alpaca it takes inspiration from. With two classic sneaker colors in orange and red, this pair screams nothing but sporty and brash. Match the untamed boldness of the RJs by donning a print-patterned top, along with your best pair of flare jeans for a dancehall-ready look of the disco 70s.
Outfit Hack: Take your look to the dance floor with bell-bottom jeans, an animal print top, and an orange beanie to cap it off for the RJ Sneakers.
