Rogues Gallery Boat Shoe
We've shown you a few boat shoes styles that would look right at home on a yacht while sippin on a glass of cristal, but we've gotta admit this boat shoe from Rogues Gallery is more our taste. The black on black leather gives more a darker rock star vibe and less of fresh outta' J.Crew look, not that there's anything wrong with that. Link: $308
Original Penguin Flip Flop
Summer is right around the corner and that means its time to stock up on some essential beach gear. One obvious necessity is a pair of flip flops and Original Penguin has a bunch of colors to compliment just about anything in your summer wardrobe. Link: $28

Vans is getting in on the boat shoe trend with their own spin, the Zapato Del Barco. The shoes have everything you would want in a Vans slip on with boat shoe styling on top of the vulcanized sole we all know and love. Link: $55
Adidas Rod Laver Vintage Lux
Alongside the Vintage Stan Smith re-releases we showed you a few weeks ago, Adidas is also releasing a "Vintage Lux" version of their other popular tennis shoe, The Rod Laver. The release is accented with the signature green sole and a full grain leather upper. Link: $90
Common Projects Suede Desert Boots
A few dozen brands have all had their own interpretation of the timeless desert boot, but we think Common Projects may have just one upped the original. While the original is perfect as it is, the hand-stitched sneaker-style sole is a nice subtle touch which we wouldn't mind trading in for our crepe-soled pairs. Link: $310
Cole Haan Chapman Moc
If there's one thing we know about style its that you can never go wrong with a pair of jeans and moccasins. One pair we like is Cole Haan's Chapman Moc with its classic artisan details and the stitching sole that wraps around the side of the shoe. Link: $195
Nike Hyperdunk
Launching just in time for the Olympic Games in Beijing, Nike's Hyperdunk is their lightest basketball shoe ever made. The Hyperdunk is eighteen times lighter than the average Nike basketball shoe and it achieves this with their new Flywire technology that adds strength and cuts down weight and Lunarlite Foam which is also lightweight and features enhanced cushioning. Initially available in Beijing and will be released Stateside this July. Link: $TBD
Adidas Stan Smith Vintage
The Stan Smith has always been a popular sneaker for its clean looks and versatile style. Now Adidas is reintroducing the 1977 model which features green felt heel details, full grain leather upper, and laser etching. All in all, the subtle differences create a cleaner design that we actually prefer to the current model. Link: $120
The North Face Rucky Chucky
Think of the North Face's Rucky Chucky as a Jeep Wrangler for your feet. These shoes were built to take on miles of rough terrain and provide grip on the most challenging surfaces. The Rucky Chuckys are able to do this with technical features such as the Snake Plate that offers support while protecting you from rocks and trail debris, Thrust Chassis improves foot support and stability, and Tenacious Grip tackles terrain and enhances grip. [$110]
Band of Outsiders for Sperry
There's quite a few companies out there cashing in on the boat shoe trend which seems to be hot this season, but no one will ever do it better than the original Sperry Top Sider. Now the nautical essential is getting a designer update care of the talented folks at Band of Outsiders. One of our favorite styles from the collection is the Reconstructed Boat Shoe (pictured right) which has a two tone raw leather exterior, smooth leather lining, and a leather padded insole. [$195-$265]
Heyday Winger
Just in time for spring, Heyday is adding a touch of class to the classic slip-on with their wingtip inspired style, the Winger. We like the fresh look of the green/white colorway which we think is perfect for this season. [$70]
