The New Shoes on Our Radar
Is it time to re-evaluate the shoes in your closet? Maybe this list will help get you going in the right direction. There are so many great shoes dropping these days, we thought we would pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. From old school sneakers updated for 2024 to some sturdy suede creepers, these are the shoes our team can’t stop talking about.
Our Picks
Yes, these shoes are a lot. Too much? We don't think so. Doc reworked their popular Ramsey creeper in a versatile, premium suede, complete with a matching kiltie and classic woven detailing on the vamp. They look as cool with navy trousers as they do with some washed cargo pants or beat-up jeans. Of course, they sit on the brand's signature rugged outsole. Made in England, they're a sturdy shoe that can be worn now and then well into spring and summer.
$170 by Dr. Martens
Nike had a buzz-worthy collab drop this week, but this is a new release that you can actually buy in your size. Nike's Killshot OG sneaker is a streamlined archival design based on the brand's original low-profile tennis shoe. The white pairs have been around for years, but Nike just unveiled this black version and it's a nice alternative look that would be great with lighter jeans or sweats.
$90 by Nike
This is a shoe that's pretty much prepared for anything. It's got a stylish, old-school preppy silhouette with a contrast stitch mic toe. And a rugged Vibram outsole with double-stacked leather midsole for added comfort—all handsewn with a storm welt for extreme durability. Since you can easily slip in and out of them, you'll find yourself opting for them throughout the rainy days of spring and well into warm days of summer.
$325 by G.H. Bass
