From a ’70s inspired sneaker to some slick suede loafers
Feel like kicking off your shoes this summer? Maybe this list will change your mind. There are so many great shoes dropping these days, we thought we would pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. From a retro sneaker influenced by soccer in the 1970s and ’80s to a pair of loafers that will have you stepping back into the office with confidence, these are the footwear our team can’t stop talking about.
Wales Bonner and adidas have teamed up for their fourth collaboration, and once again they're dropping serious heat. This collection pays homage to the influences of the 1970s and '80s, which is evident from the shoes to the tracksuits. The country sneakers are lined with lavish satin, suede and premium leather details. Keep the laces as is or swap them out for a summery crochet pair. But sizes are going quick, so if you want them you better move.

Planning a beach vacation this summer? Buying responsibly is the first step in keeping the oceans clean so you can swim in pollution-free water. SeaVees' latest SeaChange collection features shoe styles made from recycled materials from the laces to the sole. Pineapple yarn and vegan corn leather make up the uppers while the laces are made from post-consumer recycled plastic. Every pair of shoes purchased from this collection gives back $1 to SeaTrees, a non-profit that works to restore coastal ecosystems and ocean health globally. Why not be sustainable while looking classically stylish in these clean canvas sneakers that work with shorts or a summer wedding suit?

For as long as there is summer, I'll always own a pair of Boston clogs—so that makes me team muleboyz forever. They get more comfortable with each day thanks to their signature footbed, which molds to your foot after several wears making them uniquely yours. This tonal grey style is a brand-new colorway for the season. Wear them to the beach, grocery runs and weekend brunches. They're like potato chips—once you get one pair, you'll inevitably want more.
