Greg's Guide to Being a Player

The Player Knows Shoes

Your shoes are very, VERY important! Women tend to notice what is on a man's feet almost immediately... and they may judge you based on what they observe, so with that in mind pay close attention to what kind of shoes you purchase and the condition of them after being worn for a while!
Believe it or not : Your shoes are the MOST important part of your outfit!
If you are still wearing the same beat-up Reebok Classics that you got for Christmas three years ago, you will have a hard time getting what you came to this web site to learn how to get... feel me? The style of your shoes and making sure that your wearing the right footwear with a particular outfit are key elements also, and I will be going into detail on each. Read on :

Cleaning
Keep those kicks clean boy! No hot babe wants to be seen with a man wearing old, dirty, stained shoes... so if you want a hot babe (or two) your going to have to make sure that you either have brand new shoes, or take good care of the one's you've got... here's how to restore your old shoes :

Shoe Cleaning : For white leather or suade sneakers
First give them a general whipe-down with water and a rag/paper towel to remove any excess dirt laying on the surface. Next get a bowl of water and mix in a small amount of bleach, just enough to make the water fairly cloudy. Now soak your rag/paper towel in the bleach solution that you've created and apply it to the shoe in a hard rubbing motion, you may have to scrub pretty hard depending on the condition of your shoe. Do not dry the shoe, leave it wet and covered in the bleach solution, then find an old toothbrush (or new one, they only cost $1) and use it to scrub the sole of the shoe and any other areas that need special attention. Once your finished scrubbing rinse the rag off completely with warm water, then soak the rag in clean water and use it to rinse the entire shoe off removing all remaining bleach. Now just dry the shoe off, repeat all steps to clean the other shoe, spray some form of air-freshener or cologne inside them to kill any bad smells, and your done! If your shoes do not look fresh and brand new after this... then you are going to have to buy some new shoes.
Always take care of your shoes by cleaning them on a regular basic to ensure that you'll get at least 1 good month out of them. What works best for me is to simply give them a quick cleaning just before I go out. No matter how much your shoes cost, or how well you clean them... they will not look fresh forever, so when they start looking a little old it's time to hit the mall.

I like to wear sneakers almost all of the time, and there are a few important factors that should determine which type of sneakers, and what colours you should buy...
Dunlop Volleys
Perfect classic sneaker for the summertime! Get a pair of these if you are looking for something that will be comfortable and match most of your outfits... and impress the ladies at the same time!

Style Selection
It is not important to choose the style of your sneakers based upon your lifestyle. You came to this web site to learn how to be a player, right? So that means you've got to wear shoes that a player would wear... so say no to anything with bubbles, strange designs, pumps, or shiny/hologram materials.
Players DO NOT wear basketball or tennis sneakers, players wear classics!
Classic Style sneakers are made by many well known company's, the best being Reebok, Dunlop, and K-Swiss. K-Swiss classics are the newest and most popular, which come in many colour/style selections, making them the shoe of choice for the modern pimp.

Don't get me wrong... it's OK to wear your Jordan's when your playing ball, but don't ever go out at night with them on. Every style of shoe has it's own time and place :

Dress shoes - Weddings, family gatherings, church, sometimes work.

Basketball, tennis, and running shoes - Basketball, tennis, and running!

Classic Sneakers & Timberland Boots - Pimpin'.


Colour Selection
Selecting what colour shoes to buy is a little harder than picking out a style, but here are a few easy-to-follow guidelines that you can use to help you make the correct choice :

Match, match, MATCH! This is extremely important. You always want your entire outfit to match... not all one colour, but simply two or three colours that match each other. For instance, if you were going to wear blue jeans and a white shirt with a red logo on it, those white K-swiss classics with the red stripes (picture below) would go perfect. If you were going to wear black jeans and a biege suade or leather jacket, almost any type of Timberland boots would be an ideal choice. Get the idea?

Above ALL : Make sure that your shoes match your outfit!
Now... you might be thinking to yourself, "If I need my shoes to match my outfit all of the time, I'll have to buy at least 4-5 new pairs of shoes... or I'll be stuck wearing the same colour every day!". That is true, but let me share a little trick with you that I use all the time... I can guarantee will work wonders for you if you go ahead and give it a try :

Timberland Men's Rag Top Boot
Wow! These are probably the hottest boots I've ever seen, and they look even better on your feet! Grab yourself a pair of these and you'll be pimpin'.

Buy a new pair of ALL white classics, that means no other colours on it besides white. Now go to any shoe store and you'll find shoe laces for sale in almost every color imaginable, they are usually around $1-2 a pair.

Buy every colour that you like, preferably the colours that you can match with the shirts currently in your wardrobe. Now simply change the laces in your shoes to match the outfit that you want to wear each night!

That's it! Now your ready to pull some females.

Follow these guidelines and you will always be one step ahead of the competition when it comes to your appearance. Remember that shoes are very important, so always keep them fresh!
