Rachel Comey’s Wickham Shoe that is made exclusively for Barney’s is one of the nicest trail shoes I’ve ever seen. What is a trail shoe? Basically, a hiker that isn’t that serious…one you can wear with casual clothes to lunch or around the house too. The blue outsole accents the light brown very-high-nap suede and the length of the shoe makes you feel more like a lumberjack every time you wear them. Go on…find a blue ox while you’re at it!

Lanvin Spring/Summer 2010 Trainers
Lanvin’s new Spring/Summer Trainers are a combination of high-top, trainer, and fashion shoe. The variety of colors (5 sets in all) gives you one for every workday of the week (provided they let you wear these hot sneaks to work that is.) Patterns, purples, greens and oranges highlight colors that match denim and your casuals wardrobe. What a great time get on board with Lanvin and take these trainers to the street!

A Bathing Ape Ape Sta Gingham
The Ape Sta Gingham from “A Bathing Ape” is intriguing…not just because of the name but because of the design and subtle aesthetic. The Black and White Gingham (and don’t even get me started on the very slick red and white gingham) on a Converse-style shoe makes for a rather unconventional (and very fashion forward) shoe that works on the streets and in the clubs. Enjoy turning heads with a new look from Bape!

Generic Surplus 2009 Fall/Winter Collection Mohawk
Generic Suruplus has outdone themselves this time with an odd offering that brings together chocolate brown suede and a stark white outsole. The Mohawk has slight fringing on the sides of the shoe that highlight the balance between Moc and Boot. Maybe we’ll go with Moc-Boot instead. Enjoy the high nap suede and rich color to match with all your casual looks!

Nike Air Max BW Gen II
Nike’s new Air Max BW Gen II is what happens when you give the “Terminator” a sneaker. The 3-layer construction of the shoe keeps moisture off the Terminator’s metallic feet and allows for comfort when his heavy-metal heels hit the ground while chasing John Connor. This is one everybody should try (but with your favorite jeans…on and off the court)…not with your “robogear”.

Converse Dress code 1/2 Collection Jack Purcell S MDLN / PLAIN
Converse’s new offering is the “dress code 1/2 collection”. Not the most expansive offering of shoes ever made, but one of the nicest. Basically, this collection is one shoe/twoways. Grab it in white with a white toe and brogued black along the instep or check out the all black shoe in a soft split calf leather. These shoes are appropriately named “dress code” because they have the feeling of a dress shoe without abandoning the Converse aesthetic. Try them out with a casual suit or your nicest jeans hit a fancy lunch spot. The maitre’d won’t know what hit him!

Tretorn Klippor Hiking Boots
Though the Tretorn Klippor is not meant for intense/hardcore/all-the-way-up-the-appalachian-trail hiking it can be nice on those snowy evenings when the dog needs a walk or when you’re walking with your honey through the snow to see the Christmas lights. The completely leather upper, d-ringed laces, and rubber sole/toe give this boot an industrial and rustic look at the same time. Enjoy them with your jeans or cords and hit those icy streets for the most wonderful time of the year!

Beams Plus Work Boot
Beams Plus has thrown our way a very stylish and heavy-duty work boot that I’m coveting as I write this. Who doesn’t want a boot in a milky-black with a stark cream outsole, metal eyelets, and contrasting white stitching? {I say it’s just crazy people!} Wear these to work on the job site, out to lunch with friends and your favorite jeans or cords and let them last you a lifetime!

Nike’s Air Zoom Toki QS
Nike has just released its new Air Zoom Toki QS. The Rustic/Sail color palette is the perfect compliment to the sleek white outsole and “brogued” Nike swoosh. This shoe plays as a boot, an elegant sneaker, or your brand new hustlin’ shoes. Who can deny someone wearing a such a beautiful shoe with its dark brown piping and soft brown nubuck feel? I know I can’t…
