When it comes to classic boat shoes, there’s no brand more focused on perfecting the timeless silhouette than Sperry. A popular casual shoe, the boat shoe is an easy way to elevate your casual looks without sacrificing your sophisticated style. To celebrate Sperry’s continued presence as a standard boat shoe, the brand has joined forces with Japanese brand BEAMS PLUS for a new collaboration that takes fans back in time. In honor of Sperry’s 90th anniversary, both brands are taking on an archival boat shoe that brings it to a new generation. With an updated look and fresh feel, the newest Sperry x BEAMS PLUS shoes are set to become your new favorite once summer hits.

Using Sperry’s Circular Vamp Oxford silhouette as the base, this collaborative shoe gives a major nod to the design created in 1935. In this new release, the shoe has been updated with Nylon uppers and will be available in white, red, or navy hues. Besides a heavy-duty upper, the shoe comes equipped with the brand’s Razor-Cut Wave-Siping in the sole for increased traction. While not much differs in the rest of the design, the increased traction and uppers allow users to feel more secure and protected in the shoe. BEAMS PLUS and Sperry will also release an accompanying apparel and hat collection that mimics the celebratory nautical style showcased in the new footwear. Those looking to get a head start on their summer footwear will be able to purchase the new Sperry x BEAMS Plus on February 13 at select specialty retailers worldwide and the Sperry and BEAMS web stores.

In an era where more brands are seeking out celebrity co-designers, like Bad Bunny’s partnership with Adidas, it’s Salomon’s turn for their moment in the spotlight. Previously teased during his set at Governor’s Ball, Colombian singer and record producer Feid has finally given fans a glimpse into the new Salomon XT-Pathway. Once again, sporting the unreleased sneaker during his set at Hard Summer Festival, Feid’s collaborative design with Salomon is a statement and eye-catching. The design was not only worn on stage during the set, but also via social media, where the singer met up with rapper Snoop Dogg, who also sported a Family & Friends version of the same Salomon XT-Pathway sneaker. While Snoop Dogg’s version is unlikely to see a release, it’s Feid’s version that seems to have caught everyone’s attention.

It’s the summer, and with that comes a flurry of must-haves and new fashion trends to enjoy. However, one of the few constants in the endless cycle of micro trends is the sandal. Men’s sandals have often been relegated to two categories: open-toed and closed-toed. While this is technically true and one way to categorize them, it’s not the only factor to consider when you look at all the sandal options available. Considered one of the oldest forms of footwear, according to Alberto Torresi, the sandal has evolved into multiple iterations that fulfill different functions. Although some sandals are best fit for heading to the beach, others are more ideal for summer events with a more sophisticated dress code. In this guide, we’ll go through the various types of men’s sandals that you can pick from to keep your feet comfortable, breathable, and stylish all season long.

While considered a summer must-have and a beach necessity, the flip-flop is unexpectedly a divisive shoe. Even though heading to the beach without them is regarded as a faux pas to many, the flip-flop hasn’t quite earned its spot in other casual settings. With plenty of summer options available, the flip-flop is still categorized as too casual footwear to don anywhere but on vacation. However, it seems as if the tide is beginning to change, and leading the charge is none other than the luxury brand The Row. From their Spring 2021 collection that debuted leather thong flip flops, The Row has quietly introduced the flip-flop into a sophisticated footwear category that can efficiently function for form and fashion. However, the summer 2025 season became the tipping point with the prominence of the brand’s Dune Sandal.
