The New Shoes on Our Radar
As we settle into fall, 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 advanced running sneakers and a relaxed take on the loafer to some rugged collaboration, these are the kicks our team can't stop talking about.
Our Picks |
Pegasus Premium Sneaker
Nike just went full “sci-runner”. The Pegasus Premium packs a triple stack of support for your next run or training session. We're talking the brand's proprietary ZoomX high-energy-return foam, the ReactX midsole, and a wild Air Zoom bubble unit that runs the entire length of the shoe. Then there's rugged yet featherlight knit upper. The result? A ride so snappy you'll swear there's rocket fuel underfoot. Add aggressive waffle traction to ground you, and you've got a pair that doesn't just run—it soars through your miles.
$220 by Nike
Captain’s Oxford
Sperry just teamed with Colbo again on a shoe that nails the balance between heritage and modern minimalism. You might've clocked these on the runway during Colbo's recent show, but the Captain's Oxford was actually Sperry's first casual shoe back in 1934. Built from Horween leather with a rugged Vibram sole, it's got a foldable midsole and vintage-leaning details. It's the kind of shoe that feels broken-in from day one, but only looks better the more you beat it up—perfectly suited for everyday wear heading into fall.
$350 by Sperry x Colbo
Made in USA 992 Sneaker
The legendary 992 is back in New Balance's Made in America lineup, and it hasn't lost a step. The fan-favorite silhouette stays true to its classic form, upgraded with premium suede and mesh. Underfoot, ABZORB cushioning at the heel and forefoot delivers that unmistakable all-day comfort. And the dark, monochromatic textural “covert green” colorway feels perfect for the season. Proof that timeless design still runs laps around the rest.
