The latest footwear you need to know about
With so many great shoes dropping these days, we thought we’d pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. These are the kicks our team can’t stop talking about. But they’re the type that sellout fast, so if you’re digging them the way we are, you’d better pull the trigger.
A modern interpretation of New Balance's running shoes from the '70s, the standard “N” on the side gets blown up and the suede, nylon and mesh upper gives the shoe a streamlined, modern look. A reworked waffle outsole extends over the heel. The sneaker is both lightweight and breathable, which means it's perfect for the summer months.

Somewhere between a sandal and a sneaker, these cool slip-ons are built for WFH life—but are durable and comfortable enough to be worn all day on summer adventures too. The classic mule design has a backless design while the ultrasoft performance kidskin lining offers luxurious comfort with socks or without.

The most proper of the shoes currently on our radar, this fresh take on a classic wallabee design is updated with a white EVA sole. Handmade in Portugal, they feature an incorporated tongue and the old school stitching detail around the toe box offers a sharp look that is sure to elevate any casual summer look.

If you want some white minimalist sneakers for the summer—which, of course, you do—these are it. They're simple, yet boast subtle design flourishes like a perforated “swoosh” or strip of suede trim along the outsole to help them stand apart from the sea of other white low-tops. Inside, a plush, ¾-length foam wedge in the midsole pillows every step.

The opposite of the white minimalist low-top is a leopard print slip-on. These easygoing canvas sneakers make it clear you're looking to have a good time this summer. They make a dressed up look feel less stuffy and make a simple T-shirt and shorts look a lot more considered. The bonus is that they're also comfortable, breathable and sustainably made.
