Style Tips to Elevate the Look

  1. Substance over splatter: Solid basics in white, grey, sand, or black form the foundation.
  2. Texture matters: Use washed cottons, mid‑weight jerseys, and subtle woven knits to add depth without distraction.
  3. Monochrome harmony: Use tonal layering—e.g., ash tee, charcoal jogger—to balance bold sneaker palettes.
  4. Fit game: Relaxed but intentional—oversized tee with tapered pant or cropped jogger.
  5. Micro‑details: Match small tones in accessories: sage socks with Aqua, burnt orange cap nodding to Starfish.

 

Minimalist Apparel Pairings by Drop

Your clean apparel lineup is the perfect counterpoint to these bold drops. Here’s how to pull fits that highlight the sneakers:

Sneaker Drop Recommended Clean Apparel Fit
AJ3 “Pure Money” All‑white premium tee or sweatshirt with light grey or sand chinos—keep everything crisp and monochrome.
AJ1 High OG “Self Expression” Neutral base layer (white or grey tee) paired with washed denim or off‑white cutoffs—let the sneaker’s color panels pop.
AJ3 “Starfish” Cream or fossil-toned tee with light tan or olive joggers—earthy tones reflect the burnt orange and canvas textures.
AJ8 “Aqua” Soft grey or black basics layered under a sage shirt or hoodie; match the Aqua tone subtly in accessories.
AJ5 “Wings” Mid-grey sweatshirt + clean black tapered pants—sleek and minimal to mirror the metallic finish.
AJ40 “The Classic” Tonal outfit in white, off‑white, or slate grey: high‑quality tees and relaxed chinos for that elevated simplicity.
