The Ultimate
Gym Shoe
When it came time to refresh this cult-favorite sneaker for its fifth iteration, the brand's designers had plenty of feedback on what was working well and what could be better. For instance, it now features grippier traction and reengineered cushioning that's firm in back and dynamic in front—allowing you to go from heavy lifts to burpees with ease. And the heel was made even wider to enhance the shoe's already-impressive stability.

The Understated
Statement Sneaker
The Nite Jogger is inspired by a groundbreaking reflective running shoe Adidas launched in the 1980s. For 2019, the brand reworked the design, developing a textural, almost monochromatic upper consisting of a mesh and nylon ripstop upper detailed with suede overlays and reflective accents.

A simple sneaker with a sleek, refined shape, Clae's Gregory comes in a range of colorways, but you can't go wrong with this light khaki leather. Finished with a perforated vamp and flat waxed cotton laces, they're the type of sneakers that easily pair with your work wardrobe, summer wedding suits or weekend jeans and T-shirts.
