The coolest kicks to pick up now right now
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 new take on the vintage Blazer line from Nike, the Mid '77 combines old-school nostalgia with modern sustainability practices. The shoe is constructed from patchworked recycled fabric, and boasts all sorts of eye-catching details, like the retro branding and translucent outsole. Durable, stylish, and on-trend, these kicks are certified summer shoes.

If the past year has taught us anything, it's that the loafers movement is no joke, and these hand-constructed suede pennies are the perfect pair for summer. Lightweight, leather-lined, and with the perfect amount of charm, this dressier option pairs nicely with virtually any look. Lean into the current sartorial ethos and try out the athletic short-penny loafer combo.

A quality leather shoe from expert crafters Yuketen, this sandal is one of the best we've seen all summer. Handcrafted and sewn in Mexico, the Alejandro's comfortable versatility makes it a must on our footwear radar. Ready for the office or the beach, this style incorporates just the right amount of formality for an always dressed, never dressed-up look.

Imagine that a cushy slipper and a technical trail shoe had a baby, and you've probably just visualized the Beatnik. A mule-sandal hybrid, this casual style has a hook and loop strapping system and a ribbed outsole for locked-in comfort without any of the stuffiness. Vintage mountain graphics and earth-tones mean these sandals will look just as good on the trail as they do at the function.

Like so many great sneakers this summer, the 44 DX is an homage to the Vans of the 70's and 80's bundled with new materials for an upgraded feel. Knitted from a loose woven canvas, these authentic's are as breezy as it gets, perfect for scorching day trips and adventures. Despite the crocheted look, the rubberized sole and ortholite sockliner mean these shoes are ready to take a beating, and stay airy and comfortable all summer long.
