Nike Blazer Mid PRM Vintage Marble Mesh Sneaker QS

The blazer is back.  Nike is breathing new life into its blazer style with this new Mid PRM Vintage Marble Mesh addition.  The upper is an intricate mingling of black and white constructed of an open weave mesh fabric that creates a moire style marble finish.  The end result is a fresh update to a classic sneaker that can work well for the rest of the summer and even into Fall/Winter.  However, as Nike products go, this one is a quickstrike, so head on over to Kith NYC now before it sells out.

Fred Perry Trentham  Leather & Suede Sneakers

Clean and simple sporty but not necessarily made for tennis whites.  These Fred Perry Trentham Leather & Suede Sneakers are a sweet take on classic and cool.  A bit part of a 70s West German military athletic sneaker and a tennis trainer, the solid gum sole of these shoes anchor the crisp two-textured upper of the white suede and leather.  Branded with the simple laurel logo crest and "Fred Perry" script on the tongue, this shoe is a handsome and affordable one to get you through the summer and even pair with clean and crisp menswear staples for the Fall.  Available now at End Clothing.

Vans Suiting Grindle Slip-On Sneaker

Simple is as simple does, no?  What this Vans Suiting Grindle Slip-On simply does is merge the simple clean silhouette on the Vans slip-on with the classic texture of menswear suiting.  This shoe is completely plausible to wear with high cuffed menswear trousers and a trim button-down or even with a lean summer casual suit.  The subtle texture is familiar and cozy to make this an all day shoe.  Hail or cab, or kick push home after the office perhaps!  Available now at Vans.com.

Oak Dandy Sandal

Admittedly I'm not a huge fan of leather sandals but these gems I'd actually wear.  The color of these Oak Dandy Sandals scream sun-kissed golden summer.  The white sawtooth sole adds a weighted masculine quality to the sandal and also updates it from looking like a "dad" or "biblical" sandal.  The upper is pristine all-leather with a side buckle closure placed atop a sturdy rubber sole.  Pair this with slouchy easy jeans, sunbleached khakis or madras Bermudas and let your feet breathe easy.  Available now at OakNYC.com.

Maison Martin Margiela Embossed Velvet Slip-On Sneaker

Subtle and smooth.  Textured yet smooth.  Margiela has got velvet on lock with this new Embossed Velvet Slip-On Sneaker.  This shoe features a smooth black velvet with a leaf motif embossed into the pile creating more depth to the already textured surface.  Executed on the season's must have silhouette with elasticized sides and light brown welts, this sneaker becomes a winner that you can dress up with a velvet blazer or down with jeans and linen.  Available now at Mr.Porter.com.

ZeroGrand Oxford No Stitch ($248.00) - The lightest and most flexible shoe Cole Haan has ever created. Functional brogue detailing decreases weight and provides breathability. The ripstop nylon upper pieces of the Oxford are bonded to each other using high frequency welding, reducing the number of components on the shoe.

ZeroGrand Wing Oxford ($268.00) - The Wing Oxford is one of the lightest weight casual shoes to hit the market. It is made of reverse full-grain suede, that has been laser treated to add pinking and decorative stitch details. A Strobel stitch construction (upper suede is stitched to the insole) offers more strength and flexibility than other techniques. The natural storm welt with break and flex grooves provide for increased flexibility.

Included in both Oxford designs is “functional broguing,” a perforation detail shown on the toe medallion and upper portion of the shoes. Perforations are laser cut for ventilation, weight relief and flexibility. Modern brogues trace their roots to a rudimentary shoe originating in Scotland and Ireland that was constructed using untanned hide with perforations, allowing water to drain when crossing wet terrain, such as the Scottish bogs.

ZeroGrand Tall Boot ($298.00/Available 10/1) - The ZeroGrand Tall Boot is a casual lace-up boot. The rubber heel and toe pods increase durability and a break in the welt and flex grooves increase flexibility.
