Nike Internationalist
for J.Crew

This lightweight sneaker was originally designed for distance-running legend Alberto Salazar and made its debut in the 1982 New York Marathon. J.Crew's design team reworked the proportions, giving it a new look with a higher ankle but keeping signature features like the waffle rubber outsole.

Saucony for
Club Monaco

Club Monaco's head of men's design, Aaron Levine, resurrected one of his favorite shoes of all time—Saucony's Jazz Low Pro, originally introduced in 1981. "I remember wearing them when I was younger and loving the design and feel," says Levine. Drawing on inspiration found at the brand's archives in Pennsylvania, he reworked them in sharp perforated suede and added a unique speckled rubber sole.
