7 best shoes for men to leap into summer

The sun is shining and the weather is warming up. It’s the perfect time to go outside and enjoy the best men’s shoes for the season. These are the top summer shoes.

Red Ball Jets’ Red’51 Hi

Talk about timeless. These sneakers are reminiscent of 1950s athletic gear, but with a modern twist.

Ball-Band, a high-quality footwear manufacturer in Mishawaka (Indiana), had been in business for more than 50 years. In 1951, the company released its first “sport shoe,” Red Ball Jets. Constructed with performance-enhancing rubber soles and a signature red dot, this true original soared until 1971. Uniroyal bought the brand and it was subsequently grounded indefinitely.

Red Ball released the red ’51 hi in 2021 as a tribute to its original release. This new sneaker is a classic take on the high-top canvas and vulcanized rubber high. You can wear one of the four colors with any style, anywhere you are.

New Balance: Conversations Amongst Us – Kawhi Sig 2.

These are the definition of luxury. These are gold-on-white sneakers that spark conversations among us.

Kawhi Leonard and Joe Freshgoods teamed up to create a collection that “celebrates meaningful conversations between family and friends that foster new ideas that positively impact the ongoing fight for Social Justice.”

This shoe has a weathered, yet modern look. It features “Joe & Kawhi (c.2022) A New Day” printed on its tongues, cracked design at its heels, and Conversations Amongst Us branding insoles and tongues.

Nike Air Force 1 Puerto Rico

Nike provided the perfect way for Puerto Rican Day celebrations to take place.

The just-released Nike Air Force 1 Puerto Rico, which celebrates the Air Force 1’s 40th Anniversary, is the perfect summerwear, especially for Boricuas or AF1 aficionados. These AF1s celebrate Puerto Rican culture with a domino perforation design that honors the beloved island game.

Decorative dubraes, or lace locks, are made with Puerto Rico. Inside the socks are Boricuan phrases to honor the community. The perfect look for the beach is the spiky sky blue on white.

Golden Goose Ball Stars

Golden Goose Ball Stars, another retro entry, perfectly captures the 1980s style that makes it stand out in any era.

Ball Star sneakers fit the brand’s relaxed style and are very comfortable. Golden Goose sneakers are made with leather toes in crackle and vintage university lettering on the backs. The shoes have an American college feel outside, and the authentic feel inside is reflected in their wear.

Keen Uneek

Summer is incomplete without sandals. Keen believes that summer is more than just lounging in comfortable Gorpcore sneakers. It’s also about climbing any hill or mountain that may be in front of your eyes.

The British shoe king collaborated with creatives from the U.K., known as “The Experts”, to create its huge spring/summer collection. This creative team included Eshan Kali, an explorer and photographer, and Tommy Gold, a DJ and producer. The Uneek silhouette is distinguished by its paracord construction and cushy soles. It also features cutting-edge design in 18 colors.

Herschel x Sperry Limited Edition Collection: Lug Chukka

If you want to wear sandals in summer, you must have a boat shoe. These slip-ons, which are hand-sewn and inspired by the Pacific Northwest, are perfect for keeping your feet on the ground, at the dock or in the office.

The classic boat shoe is given a new look with woodland camo-embossed and white leather. These shoes are built for summer adventures on land and at sea.

Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid Gore-Tex

It is important to have the right gear when you are out in the wild. This will ensure that you stay safe, and your mind can be focused on the natural interactions without being distracted. A pair of sturdy hiking boots that are comfortable enough to traverse any terrain and setting is the foundation of this set-up. The Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid Gore-Tex is the perfect choice.

The boot is now a more efficient hiking shoe, thanks to Descent Control technology. This technology can handle technical hikes and shines on steep descents. The boot’s burly Contagrip sole provides excellent traction on dirt, rock, muddy, rutted and steep tracks.

Salomon boots are comfortable right out of the box. You can take on any day with confidence, no matter what the weather.

These releases are something I love, and I don’t know if you’re as geeky as me. Although it can be difficult to choose, it is fun to imagine a summer filled with all kinds of activities, including running, biking, hiking, and riding.
