Looking to sunset your Sambas? We don't blame you, but we've got a suggestion. These new Gazelles come in a range of colors (from a rich indigo blue to a jewel-toned green) and have the vibes of some of the brand's recent collabs with Gucci and Wales Bonner. But these, of course, are much more reasonably priced. And while you could go for a bold color, there's something about this tonal grey pair that we really like.

The maker of some of our favorite loafers also makes a damn fine pair of boots. VINNY'S took a timeless silhouette, the Chelsea boot, and modernized it just enough to make it feel fresh. Made from waterproof leather and set on chunky rubber outsoles for plenty of traction, the boots have a shorter, rounder toe box for an updated fit and feel.
