This day we were really craving pasta so we went to a popular spot in Hongdae. While in the area, we saw a SNKRS store and I found some really nice shoes I’ve been eyeing since I was in the States, so I splurged a bit and got them. I never bought myself a pair of nice shoes so it felt really nice that my first time doing so was in Korea, I’m very happy with them and thankful I was able to get my hands on them.
