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 modern takes on the summer sandal and to a monochromatic boat shoe, these are the kicks our team can't stop talking about.

 

Hyperport Clog

Equal parts utility and ugly-cool, KEEN's Hyperport Clog is made for more than just slipping on at camp. The rugged sole (engineered with multi-directional lugs and shock-absorbing midsole) grips like a hiker, while the breathable molded upper keeps things light and breezy. Ideal for quick errands, dog walks, or just looking effortlessly outdoorsy on a Sunday.

$150 by Keen

 

Leather Boat Shoe

If you haven't jumped on the boat shoe bandwagon yet, try this refined take on the nautical staple. Morjas swaps out the standard preppy vibes for something more badass and sleeker. Handcrafted in Spain from supple full-grain leather, it's built on a low-profile sole that still provides all-day comfort. Wear them sockless with tailored trousers or cuffed jeans for an easy summer upgrade.

$350 by Morjas

 

T500 Sneaker

Looking for a structured but simple white sneaker? Retrofitted from an '80s court classic, the T500 nicely balances nostalgia and modern ease. A perforated leather upper and a sturdy Vibram outsole give the kicks vintage-era cred with fresh polish. Designed for comfort and versatility, this silhouette works as well with dark dress trousers and washed jeans as it does with weekend sweats or shorts.

$110 by New Balance

Look closer. There’s more to this monogram than meets the eye. These striking visuals come from Hugo Michaudel (@hugo.mchdl), Head of Graphic Design for Leathergoods Menswear at Louis Vuitton (@louisvuitton), who reimagines the house’s iconic motif across three standout collections: the Sport Capsule, Prefall 25 and SS26.
