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 fresh summer sandals and Tyler, The Creator's long-awaited archival Converse to a collaboration on some timeless loafers by a storied English shoemaker, these are the shoes our team can't stop talking about.

Our Picks

Whole Cut Loafer

Buck Mason has teamed up with the legendary British shoemakers Sanders for a timeless slip-on. Expertly crafted in England from a single-piece calfskin, these whole cut loafers have a sleek, seamless style. Featuring Goodyear-welted construction, full leather lining, and a rubber sole, it blends refined quality with all-day comfort. This shoe makes a suit seem casual and shorts seem elegant.

Suede Slide

These leather and cork sandals have the same timeless look and feel as your favorite slides, but with 10 times more comfort and style. Each pair is handmade by artisans in a renowned Portuguese factory, using Italian suede for the upper and springy crepe rubber for the outsole.

1908 Jogger

Converse is reaching deep into the archives for their latest collection, spearheaded by Tyler, The Creator. The Coach Jogger was first released in 1975 and embodies the Converse legacy—while making a stylish Samba alternative. The original's DNA remains but they're made to be even more durable and comfortable.

Miyuki-zoku was a cultural movement that lasted for just one brief summer in 1964. It consisted of young people who casually gathered around Miyuki-dori in Ginza exploring the Japanese take on the classic ‘Ivy League’ look. Guys were seen wearing collared ‘Ivy’ shirts with Bermuda shorts or cotton pants. It also became a staple to carry a VAN branded paper bag.
