Awesome Shoes

Made by Red Wing, a U.S. company that made boots for soldiers in both World Wars, Gentleman Traveler boots will last a lifetime with built-up soles and old world construction.

Made in Germany, Limmer Boot’s Standard boot is crafted from a single piece of top-grain leather. With double-stitched Norwegian welt construction, they’re perfect for heavy duty hiking.

“Exotic cowboy” are the words that come to mind with these Vans Rowley “Shambles” Hi, designed by Taka Hayashi. They sport a brown suede upper, buckle strap and Vans soles.

Adidas’ Y-3 Hayworth II Mid Shoes are part of its Fall/Winter collection, and sport a Mountain Man logo along its length, as well as a webbing system and ankle strap for support.

Launching today in the US, these Air Jordan I Retro Olympic sneakers are inspired by the ’92 Barcelona Dream Team. We’re digging the gold embroidery and straight-up classic styling.

We’re really feeling the slick, two-toned semi-organic style of these All Mountain boots by Oakley. They’re waterproof and made with a full grain leather and microfiber upper.

Northwave’s Lizard Cycling Shoes are ideal for cross country and mountain bikers; their aptly-named “Jaws” soles have great grip, while triple velcro straps maximize support.

We like Our Legacy’s subtle, casual style; it’s a modern take on 1930s kicks. These leather canvas sneakers are waterproof with a thick rubber sole and soft calf skin lining.

Nike’s Zoom LeBron VIs look amazing without being flashy; Zoom Air cushions make them lightweight yet supportive, with a full-length unit in the midsole and double stacked heel.

While $425 seems like a lot for a pair of shoes, the AF-X Pack (a collab between Nike and Stash) includes a backpack, laptop sleeve, gadget pouch, phone case as well as AF-X Mids.

Although rugged and waterproof, Timberland’s Euro Sprint Boot is stylish enough for daily use. We’re hot for the toe bumper, contrast stitching and dagger-shaped silver eyelets.

These aren’t your dad’s cleats: Oakley’s Tour Jacket golf shoes are made with waterproof top-grain leather and easy to replace cleats. Available in two colorways.

The Asolo Flame GTX Hiking Boots get high marks, with an EVA midsole and TPU heel for comfort. The suede leather resists scuffing and water with the help of a Gore-Tex lining.

The striped heel and front aren’t for everyone, but these MY-36 Pumas by Mihara Yasuhiro have a cool zoot-suit appeal, accentuated by the swank black on white colorway.

This Black/Gold Dust colorway for Air Jordan’s Spiz’ike line is our fave; made in collaboration with director Spike Lee, check out that gold stitching and laser-etched artwork!

Creative Rec gets us again with these military-themed Dicoco high top shoes; olive and black = awesome. Double velco tabs, laser etched logos, and green perforated leather inlays.

These two-toned Adidas Ciero Mids have a good looking, low key aesthetic that stops short of casual. The suede upper mixed with tonal mesh panels gives these shoes an extra kick.

Designed by Finnish skateboarder Arto Saari, these premium leather high tops feature a sophisticated two-toned black and gold design; they’re limited to 1600 shoes globally.

Emerica’s BluePrint V collection sports a hot black and red colorway, but our top pick goes to the Francis BluePrint kicks: it’s a collab with UK’s Blueprint Skateboards and Emerica.

These special Puma Sky IIs are outfitted with waterproof Gore-Tex; when coupled with the brown, orange and olive colorway, it’s pretty clear these kicks are meant for the great outdoors.

Reebok’s Dime Dropper sneakers have a sleek, organic design with mid-cut flap for stability. It’s also supportive inside, with foam cushioning and a removable sockliner for orthotics.

These Original 1892 Basketball Shoes replicate the design of the first basketball sneakers ever, albeit with modern niceties such as a built-in arch and cushioned insole.

The store’s navigation is tedious, but these Lewis Leathers Hi Top Sneakers are worth the journey: we dig the combination of black leather, zippers, double stitching and tire tread bumpers.
