The SL 72 sneaker first stepped onto the world stage at the Munich Olympics in '72. The archival design returns with this one-to-one copy of the OG silhouette featuring a vintage-era traction dynamics system on the outsole, as well as nylon and synthetic suede on the upper. They're lightweight and perfect for summer—just different enough from everyone else's white sneakers to stand apart from the crowd.

Victory Sportswear's vintage-inspired sneakers are designed and handmade in Massachusetts. They look simple and old school but you can tell how much R&D goes into them as soon as you slip your foot inside—they're incredibly light, cushy and instantly mold to your feet for a near-custom fit. A specialized lining reduces friction and keeps your feet cool, while the rugged resoleable construction means the grippy Vibram soles can be swapped out up to four times by Victory Sportswear.

First released in 1979, the Daybreak is one of Nike's most classic running shoe silhouettes. Four decades lates, the design is living a second life as a beloved casual sneaker. This latest version, with a “Topaz Gold” colorway, refreshes the legendary sneaker by swapping out the standard mesh upper with a translucent TPE material and a flat red Swoosh painted directly on its side.

This is the perfect time to bring back New Balance's 850. The minimalist silhouette, which was ahead of its time when it was originally introduced in 1996, features a mix of suede and breathable mesh. It also boasts a cushioning and stabilizing midsole and speed lace design that locks for fast and secure lacing.

As far as easygoing summer slides, these are about as easy and as summery as they come. Completely vegan and recyclable, these lightweight molded slides are injected with air to make them even more comfortable to walk and wear for extended periods.
