Known for infusing their handcrafts with fashion, 18 East is ready to add their touch to a new collaboration with Mephisto. Along with the French manufacturer, the New York-based clothing seller has created a new sneaker silhouette that does more than just ‘break the spectrum.’ Functional for streetwear or on the trails, this new sneaker has a fresh design that infuses aspects of your favorite footwear. Meant to add a slower living to your lifestyle, this sneaker is a prime example of what 18 East looks to achieve in the style space. Unlike others, the brand looks to design intentional creations that can fill a spot in your wardrobe. This new sneaker is a must for any wardrobe, along with Mephisto’s knack for crafting quality footwear. 

18 East x Mephisto Break Spectrum

Crafted with Italian full-grain leather and rough-out suede, the new 18 East and Mephisto sneaker is available in neutral and chic colors. Made in France, the shoe features SOFT-AIR midsoles that help to reduce shock in each step. The design’s memory foam insole and heavy-duty lug pattern add extra cushion and all-terrain grip. Co-branded midfoot tags and an antique brass D-ring speed lacing system provide the style and security all users need. This low-top design comes in two colorways: a white/gray combination and a brown/green mix aptly nicknamed ‘Beef and Broc.’ Available via 18 East’s webstore, these sneakers retail for $414 and are bound to sell out quickly. While the sneaker doesn’t stray from your typical, everyday sneaker, the features and design allow it to become a special piece you can wear anywhere.

No summer season would be complete without a pair of trusted sandals or flip-flops. When it comes to sandals and flip-flops, Havaianas is one of the standards to watch. The Brazilian brand has become a household name due to its refreshment of the flip-flop and turning it from another summer footwear to a fashionable accessory. With a campaign that stars former Dutch soccer player Edgar Davids, the new partnership between Amsterdam-based Patta and Havaianas is nothing short of a summer celebration. While the flip-flops don’t see any major change in silhouette or design, it does invoke details from both brands that embody the spirit of the partnership.

Taking inspiration from the summer sky, New Balance’s newest sneaker is all about tonal blues. As part of New Balance’s MADE in UK line, the latest release from the athletic brand takes on the soft shade of blue for a new look that can almost pass for a denim material. While many brands have already managed to use denim to create unique footwear designs, this option from New Balance is a bit more versatile and stylish than the rest. Set to hit later this month, this New Balance sneaker is much closer to their traditional color palettes, rather than their latest series of neon and vibrant hues. While made for the peak summer season, the newest baby blue shoe is a year-round nab.
