The New Shoes on Our Radar
Is it time to re-evaluate the shoes in your closet? Maybe this list will help get you going in the right direction. There are so many great shoes dropping these days, we thought we would pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. From some stylish high-fashion sneakers to Ivy-style loafers, these are the shoes our team can’t stop talking about.
Our Picks
Can a chukka be at once tough and distinguished? We think so, since these Sanders boots are a study in masterful craftsmanship and rugged reliability. Right out of the box, they're comfortable and ready for action. They can be worn to work or nights out, but they're just as easy as sneakers to kick around town in—thanks to the supple suede construction and extra thick crepe sole that absorbs shock for all-day wearability. All of Sanders shoes are handmade in England, so these are shoes you will clearly have for decades to come. Which means you can invest in them with confidence.
$275 by Sanders
Comme des Garçons takes on a classic hiking sneaker with their version of Nike's ACG Mountain Fly Low 2. The cult trail shoe comes in three tonal colorways—the requisite black, a fresh white, and a combo that sneakerheads have dubbed “the Oreo”. Silver D-rings have been added to the lacing system while a subtle “CDG” branding is swapped in for the ACG on the lace toggles. It makes for a hardy and streamlined sneaker for any outdoor adventure. They'll first drop at Dover Street Market today and will soon be available at Nike and select stores globally.
$330 by Comme des Garçons x Nike
The latest addition to Morjas' collection of handsome footwear is a classic Ivy-style loafer infused with the brand's slick contemporary aesthetic. Handcrafted in Spain from a soft yet substantial leather, the slip-on has a slightly boxier and more relaxed look than the brand's signature penny loafer, resulting in an old-school and sporty silhouette that looks as good with shorts and jeans as it does with a suit at your next wedding.
$360 by Morjas

MR PORTER just further reduced a huge selection of their sale section, so items like this garment-dyed twill jacket, are now 60% off. We like that it’s a hybrid of a chore coat and a blazer.
