When’s the last time you bought yourself some shoes? Let this be your sign that it’s time. There are so many great styles dropping these days, we thought we would pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. From a pair of stylish trail runner sneakers to some oiled suede slip-ons, these are the kicks our team can’t stop talking about.
Before the Air Max, before Jordans, there was the Moon Shoe. This faithful reissue celebrates one of Nike’s earliest running prototypes, complete with the iconic waffle outsole inspired by Bill Bowerman’s famous waffle iron experiment. Lightweight nylon, suede overlays and a beautifully simple low-profile silhouette make it feel surprisingly current more than 50 years later. Sometimes the original really is the best, right?
Nike Moon Shoe sneaker,
Sabah’s cult favorite continues to be one of the easiest shoes to recommend. Handmade from buttery leather that molds to your feet over time, they’re comfortable enough to wear all day and handsome enough to dress up for dinner. The rich Siena oiled suede only gets better with age, developing the kind of patina you can’t fake. Slip them on once and you’ll understand why people end up collecting them.
Oiled Siena slip-on,
If you’ve been wanting to try a Belgian laofer, but didn’t want to spend more than 300 bucks, you’re in luck. Bass takes the refined Belgian silhouette and gives it a little personality without the heavy price tag. The leather is soft, the profile is elegant, and the cushioned sole means they’re actually comfortable enough to wear beyond special occasions. Think of them as the loafer for guys who already own the classics and want something with a little more character.
Camden Belgian loafer,
P.F. Flyers has been making timeless canvas sneakers for decades, but this version swaps the usual rubber sole for a crepe outsole that gives it a more relaxed, almost desert-boot feel. The biscotti-colored canvas keeps things understated, making them an easy match for everything from faded denim to pleated chinos. They look like they’ve been part of your wardrobe forever—in the best possible way.
All-American crepe low-top sneaker,
This is a trail runner for people who care about design. Satisfy’s first-ever sneaker doesn’t just look the part—it backs it up with serious performance credentials. A breathable upper, Vibram outsole, and interchangeable insoles make it equally capable on rocky trails or city streets, while the stripped-back aesthetic feels more luxury sneaker than technical gear. It’s the rare performance shoe you’ll want to wear long after the run is over.
The Rocker Trail Sneaker,
