The New Shoes on Our Radar
Looking 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 upgraded classics and textured suede loafers to rugged performance sneakers built for fall weather, these are the shoes our team can't stop talking about.
Our Picks |
Duck Canvas Sneaker
This premium take on the Vans Authentic are cut from a sturdy duck canvas. They pay homage to the legendary Style 44, originally adopted by skaters in the '70s for their durability and grip. Featuring a full-grain leather collar lining, these bring modern upgrades to a vintage skate style. The higher sidewalls have a gloss finish for easy on and off while foxing tape adds a polished, retro look.
$80 by Vans
Ranger Boat Shoe
These rugged “Ranger” boat shoes from Ralph Lauren are crafted from dark-brown leather that's oiled and waxed for a glossy shine. Detailed with hand-stitched toes, they're threaded with rawhide laces and set on durable rubber-lug soles. They're the type of shoe that look great while fresh and new, but even better when they're nice and worn-in.
$195 by Polo Ralph Lauren
2002R Sneaker
We've been fans of the 2002R since the JJJJound Gore-tex collaboration that dropped exactly one year ago. Now it's back in a fresh khaki colorway (and a more accessible price point). The multi-textured paneled upper adds some nice throwback early-aughts vibes while the heavily padded collar and ABZORB foam rubber midsole add serious comfort.
$145 by New Balance
