The New Shoes on Our Radar

When’s the last time you bought yourself some shoes. Let this be your sign that it’s time. 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 soft suede derbies and a modern, streamlined take on a clog to a retro sneaker that’s been modernized for comfort, these are the kicks our team can’t stop talking about.

Our Picks

Suede Derby

Think classic meets modern in minimal form. Made in collaboration with menswear whisperer Aaron Levine, these suede derbies are sleek yet relaxed and grounded by a rugged Vibram sole. So they look refined but handle real-world wear. They easily walk the line between dress and casual better than most hybrids. Pair with chinos or tailored denim for days you want comfort without compromising polish.

XA Pro 3D Sneaker

Trail-bred tech made wearable everywhere. Salomon’s XA Pro 3D carries all the DNA of a rugged hiking shoe—rock-stepped grip, reinforced overlays, and stable support—yet it wears surprisingly well off-trail too. The quick-lacing system keeps things secure in motion, and the protective toe cap means you’re ready for rough ground or rainy streets without worry. A silhouette that feels purposeful and performance-oriented, but looks crisp enough with cargo pants or wide-leg sweats.

Friday Clog

Here’s what happens when a sock brand makes shoes. Bombas’ new clog blends plush cushioning with a laid-back silhouette that works on errands, around the house, or as easy travel footwear. The squishy, molded design supplies support without stiffness. They’ve got a streamlined, closed-toe design but built-in air vents help keep it breezy. Plus, a ribbed, cupped footbed ensures they stay on your feet without sliding around.
