Obviously, we had to ask them about their all-time favorite kicks, so scroll down and check ‘em out.

Yeezy 500

"I think they're such a special shoe, I feel like it's the shoe of the year 3025. It's like they'll never be outdated, they'll always be these super-futuristic special shoes, there’s nothing like them." Romy

New Balance Aimé Leon Doré

With striking primary colors against sleek white on a classic silhouette originally introduced in 1999, this would be an obvious pick from our closet too.

Nike Zoom

Another futuristic looking pair, the Nike Zoom Series is made with some of their most cutting edge technology to help runners hit top speed ― or just to help you look fly for your daily routine.

Adidas Boston Super

Shoes with a story deserve mention: one of Romy's faves is this pair descended from Adidas's original Boston Super style, which were released in the mid 80s to take on the world-famous Boston Marathon route.

Air Force One Uptown

You can't go wrong with a classic, especially if you're a born and bred New Yorker like Sophia, who says these timeless Air Force Ones hold a special place in her heart.

Timberland

"Those are my main shoes, just cause they're so city-friendly, they can go with every outfit, in any season, quite honestly. I've definitely worn Timberlands in the summertime as well to go out. It's just very deeply ingrained as my favorites and staples." Sophia
