This immediately calls attention to your footwear and through making the pitted leather look even shinier, the Art 1 gets the formal approval. Finished with a genuine leather sole, these get extra points for the generous, five metallic eyelets.

Back on May 17, we gave you a look at the Soludos espadrilles for Opening Ceremony. This week, Soludos have delivered another batch of their custom beach shoes in time to finish off summer.

The latest drop sees a colour palette not unlike the prior releases. Nevertheless, we feel this run has a lot more for the gents. Yes these are unisex, but staying away from floral patterns is a nice way to keep them truly universal. Available through Opening Ceremony.
