The New Shoes on Our Radar

Looking 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 styles dropping these days, we thought we would pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. From some cushiony suede slip-ons and a new loafer collaboration to legendary American sneakers refreshed for Summer 2025, these are the shoes our team can't stop talking about.

Our Picks

CVO Sneaker

This old school sneaker gets reimagined in fresh colorways that still retain the CVO's heritage and function. Originally designed in 1935 by Paul Sperry after observing his dog's grip on slippery surfaces, the CVO introduced the world to non-slip footwear with its signature razor-cut sole. Blending maritime heritage and skate culture, this fresh take on the vulcanized canvas sneaker melds '80s and '90s nautical aesthetics with a modern twist and comes with two pairs of laces to help you mix and match in style.

Aztec Boat Shoe

Vinny's offers a rugged take on the classic moccasin with a refined, modern edge. Crafted in Portugal, these suede shoes feature hand-stitched uppers, tonal leather laces and a padded collar for comfort. The treaded Vibram rubber sole ensures durability and grip, making them suitable for both city streets and weekend getaways. With a subtle heel and debossed branding, the shoe blends heritage craftsmanship with contemporary style—they come in five different colors, so take your pick.

$370 by Vinny's

 

Samba 62 Sneaker

Still in the market for a slimmed down summer sneaker? The Samba 62 pays homage to the legendary shoe's vintage roots with an ultra-soft nubuck upper and sleek stacked rubber sole for a luxurious look and feel. Plus, the “collegiate green” colorway looks great with everything from washed denim and chinos to navy trousers.
