The New Shoes on Our Radar
As we settle into the cooler months, it's the perfect time to reconsider your footwear rotation. 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 basketball-inspired loafers and a winterized take on the Birkenstock to some rugged collaborations, these are the kicks our team can't stop talking about.
Our Picks |
Daystorm Horizon GTX Boot
Japanese brand NEIGHBORHOOD just partnered with SOREL, merging military precision, motorcycle culture and cold-weather performance. The boot is a sleek hybrid that fuses rugged, weather-armored performance with clean urban design. Crafted from full-grain oiled leather and canvas panels, it features twin lace options (rope or leather) to shift between rugged hillside and minimalist street-style. Under-the-hood, a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane keeps you dry, while a high-grip Vibram XS TREK EVO outsole ensures traction from city slicker pavements to out-of-town trails.
$300 by SOREL x NEIGHBORHOOD
Lug Sole Boat Shoe
Sperry has reunited with New York-based menswear brand Colour Plus Companie for a wild take on the classic boat shoe. Instead of the usual leather, it comes in a rich dark fawn or speckled cow pony hair, elevating a timeless prep silhouette with a bold fashion-forward vibe, while leather laces perfect the fit. Grounding the design is a Vibram outsole that ensures every step is as luxurious as it is great-looking.

London Nova Shoe
Birkenstock is getting winter-ready with a refined update of its iconic footwear. Made for the coldest conditions, it replaces the usual leather uppers with plush wool-felt in Anthracite and Stone Coin Light Gray, while maintaining the signature cork-latex footbed for comfort. Accented with leather toe caps, a rugged BIRKENGRIP outsole and a utilitarian G-hook buckle, the London presents a closed shoe slip-on that merges function with quiet luxury.
