Summer is here gentlemen, and it calls for a complete new footwear game. Whether you are hitting the court to watch Wimbledon or sailing off to a Greek island, we've got your footwear selection covered for the season ahead. It’s time to pack away those winter boots and fleece lined high tops; here’s five pairs you’ll need for every occasion.

Sebago Litesides FGL  

Litesides is an ultra-lightweight boat shoe from Sebago that is pure comfort on the foot. Designed in an iconic boat shoe silhouette, it also provides excellent traction on the deck or dock. Strobel + cement construction provides superior flexibility and lightweight durability and the EVA midsole is designed for additional shock absorption and all-day comfort.

Cole Haan GrandPrø Tennis Sneaker 

The ultra-light GrandPrø Tennis shoe by Cole Haan is a vintage-inspired sneaker, updated with a thoroughly modern operating system. What it lacks in weight, it makes up for in style. Utilising proprietary Grand.ØS technology, GrandPrø Tennis delivers an innovative spin on a classic silhouette. Grand.ØS is designed to drastically reduce weight, mimic the foot’s natural flexibility, offer dynamic breathability and provide responsive cushioning for maximum comfort.

R.M.WIlliams Kardinya Saddle Stitch 

R.M.Williams' whole-cut Kintore dress-boot is crafted from hand burnished Italian crust leather and is finished with a signature decorative saddle stitch on the vamp. This is a refined style on R.M.William's signature chisel toe shape.

Palladium S_U_B Low 

S_U_B by Palladium is a non-traditional Palladium style that the brand introduced for Spring/summer 2018. Inspired by an army-training shoe, the S_U_B sneaker utility boot, uses an archive Palladium upper. Trainers feature Palladium's signature characteristics: toecap, diamond band and outsole pattern.

Base London Keel Suede 

Brand new for the season (see video below), Base London's Keel is a stylish and comfortable espadrille lace up. Featuring perforated suede uppers, they are made from the softest leather, providing breathable comfort. The rope pattern embossing around the outsole gives the Keel shoe a casual summer vibe, complimenting your summer outfit at any function, from yacht party to back garden BBQ.
