I've been wondering how to wear my extensive collection of retro sneaks (mainly Saucony Jazz/Jazz Low Pro and Onitsuka Tigers, but also some Converse and Vans) to the office while still maintaining a professional look overall. I think I can get away with it in my particular office because the office dress code is a bit schizophrenic: I see everything from t-shirts and athletic shoes (software developers) to expensive suits (usually upper management) daily. Job-wise, I am somewhere in the middle. I think this gives me some leeway, as does the fact that there are relatively few women in the office, so for women the dress code is even less clear.

So, I am seeking inspiration -- for those of you so inclined, how do you dress up sneakers for work?

Below are some examples of the kind of sneaks I'm talking about. The black and cream Saucony Jazz are the one pair of sneakers I have worn to work a few times. The yellow and blue pair are a more typical example -- most of my collection is pretty colorful, which admittedly does make them harder to "dress up".

The blush pink Saucony Bullets were just released, and I think I "need" them!
