Few things define someone’s style quite like a great pair of shoes. The Forest Scout asked some of our most stylish Scouts to describe their favorite shoes.
Daniel Iacch 
US History Co-teacher Mr. Daniel Lacch is wearing Air Force 1s, and they are his favorite brand of shoes. He has two pairs, each costing $120. The reason he loves this shoe is because “it’s a simple design that looks good with a lot of stuff and for me it represents sneaker culture.” Lacch started liking this shoe at 30 years old. The shoes that he really wants are the special edition Air Jordan 4 Retro, and the reason he wants these is because “they are really unique and original jays, so original Nike.”
