Deck Shoe

Buck Mason continues its partnership with the Japanese footwear brand, Moonstar, with this limited-edition indigo-dyed deck shoe. A new take on the first military-issued canvas shoes that would become the blueprint for all modern sneakers, this is made from a herringbone canvas twill upper that's been dyed with natural indigo, so it will age like raw denim on a natural rubber sole.

Need a new pair of loafers for spring? These are it. The black and white colorway is a fresh, casual look that can be worn in all sorts of situations and these are particularly comfortable. Unlined for lightweight, flexible wear, they sit on an “XL Baltimore” shock-absorbent rubber sole, which makes for easy all-day wear and added traction.

Edouard
Lug Derby

Jacques Solovière improves on a timeless classic with a refreshed and streamlined take on the derby. The lace-up features a nearly seamless suede leather upper that's folded to create the tongue and vamp (as opposed to using separate pieces for each part). That design gives it a cool, laid-back vibe you won't find in old-school derbies.

Vomero 18
Run Sneaker

Nike calls its new Vomero 18 the brand's “softest, most cushioned ride” yet. The road runners have lightweight ZoomX foam stacked on top of responsive ReactX foam in the midsole. The uppers are minimal and extra soft, while a redesigned traction pattern offers a smooth heel-to-toe transition.

We'll see your standard Crocs and raise you these freaky looking slides. A collaboration between Keen and Mad Happy, the “open-air clogs”, as they call them, are super lightweight, super durable, and incredibly comfy—before, during, or after movement. The shock-absorbing foam insole offers arch support for all-day comfort while an “eco anti-odor” treatment provides natural, pesticide-free odor control.
