I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many shoes. Just take a gander at my bio. And if you adhere to the same attitude (come through, sneakerheads), this week’s menswear releases are chock-full of footwear for the coming season and beyond.
First on the docket are some options for all the sneaker enthusiasts. We have a nifty collab between our friends at New Balance and Bandier—just look at the juxtaposition of colors on those bad boys. In the same vein, Rothy’s has introduced color-blocked kicks that are primed for back-to-school season. Saucony has come out with sneaks that will blow the brains of anyone that was a member of a tech club in the ’90s. And Asics has partnered with Angelo Baque on runners that scream, “Viva Ecuador!” But if you want something more office-appropriate, and animal-friendly, Clarks has come out with vegan versions of its desert boot.
Not part of the shoe brigade, you tell me? Well, we have some shnazzy shirts, architectural jewelry, and a link to more covetable streetwear than you can imagine, too. Now that we have all this on offer, you might want to check out how to organize your closet. I sure do. Again, just check my bio.
