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 styles dropping these days, we thought we would pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. From throwback sneakers and some hybrid loafers to recycled garden clogs, these are the shoes our team can’t stop talking about.
Our Picks |
Yardee Loafer
You know you'll need a good pair of loafers throughout the spring and summer, right? These, by Vinny's, are hand-stitched in Portugal from polished leather and fitted with soft footbeds for all-day comfort. What we really appreciate about the brand's silhouette is that it's inherently classic and yet modernized just enough to feel fresh. The toe box of the loafer is a touch shorter and rounder, giving it a more relaxed appearance that pairs as well with jeans or shorts as it does with a lightweight suit.
$300 by Vinny's
Gardana Clog
Have you heard about gardencore? Well, the seeds have been planted, so to speak, and you'll soon be seeing more of it sprouting throughout menswear. Crafted in France from hemp plastic, these easy-to-wear clogs are lightweight, waterproof and 100% recyclable.The unique color is derived from the natural sugars present in hemp. They're flexible, comfortable and incredibly durable.
$62 by Plasticana
Killshot 2
If you're suffering from Samba fatigue, then revisit another old school favorite: Nike's Killshot. It was revived years ago, but this new update on the archival design introduces premium textured leathers and hand-stitched detailing that give it a more interesting look. Everyone needs a white sneaker for summer, right? Well, this is a really good one.
