Nike Air Presto Essentials

Summertime is the best time of year to explore your local city, touring around different bars and restaurants, adventuring to the parks with open air pop-ups, etc., all of which involve a lot of walking and standing. This makes it important to wear comfortable shoes that support your movement without making you look like a dad from Wisconsin, sporting some New Balance 506s. The Nike Air Presto Essential is a great sneaker that works well with any grayscaled (Black-Gray-White) chinos or standard khaki shorts, it has a really clean look that eludes to a more formal-inspired curb appeal while remaining breathable and comfy. We would suggest rocking these with any black, gray or white chinos or jeans, or khaki shorts like we mentioned earlier and any top that isn't brown.

Sandro Moscoloni Paris Leather Penny Loafers

Let the savings spree picks continue! That's right, this pick is also from Nordy's because why miss out on 40% off. It just makes sense, and we can't get ourselves off the damn site. Anyway, these Spanish beauties are made with ultra soft leather, and hand stitched for your pleasure. The soles of these Spaniards are rubber so the rain that most of the US has been getting shouldn't be a bother to a man in these loafers. Warning: Pennies are not included, and if you're under the age of 68, it should stay that way. Kepp them clean, keep them safe.

Walsh LA '84 Athletic Trainers

Designed by the man who created the 1984 English Olympic team outfits, Norman Walsh (hence the name), these trainers have some sweet styling and a great variety of textures to give it a complex feel and sporty look. The suede toe and heel should be treated before you wear them on the street, but their classic Reebok inspired silhouette and red pop in color will be sure to grab attention here in the states since they aren't Nike flyknits, or Jordans.
