The footwear that our team has on their radar
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 crisp white low-top sneaker is the quintessential summer shoe and Los Angeles-based Clae just launched a collection of all-white sneakers for 2020. Made out of Italian milled Nappa leather, each of the minimalist styles is handcrafted with a leather and poly-lined upper and a molded EVA footbed for all-day comfort.

A twisted take on their iconic checkerboard print sneakers, these Vans Authentics got a more colorful patchwork design exclusive to Urban Outfitters. Everything you love about the lightweight, easygoing lace-ups are here .... but few people will have this particular style. And like most Vans, we figure it'll look even better when beat-up a bit.

Nike has reworked their classic Blazer silhouette time and time again, but each time, it makes you want to take notice, right? This go around, mismatched, snakeskin-embossed Swooshes and alternating hits of red and blue details give the sneakers a shot of rebel style and a bit more personality than your average pair of white high-tops.

If you want a more rugged take on summer's preppiest shoe, Quoddy's suede bluchers are just what you're looking for. Full moccasin construction surrounds your foot in soft leather for unparalleled comfort and the brand's Revive insole is exceptionally breathable on hot days. Handsewn in Maine, they're finished with durable Vibram camp soles.

These simple throwback kicks were inspired by '70s cross country shoes. Meaning they'll give you all the street cred of vintage adidas style without the headache of digging through a thrift store bin. Plus, these will be a whole lot more comfortable thanks to the modern cushioning. They're definitely a pair that would get a whole lot of use this summer.

Reebok is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the brand's most popular cross trainer. The Nano X has many of the same features that make this footwear such a legendary gym staple—from its low-profile design to its compression molded midsole. Plus it has a reengineered Flexweave textile upper with targeted areas for support and stretch. All of which add up to give you a stable base for big lifts.
