dorothee schumacher desert vibes spiral sandals item “Infrared/Volt”
The Nike knee high boots geox j eclair g d j169qd 000hh c9999 m black “Infrared” is a classic way to turn heads, but that’s been done plenty of times before. This year you can mix it up with some volt as well – and these have the bonus of the waterproof touch for when fall rolls around.

No white after Labor Day, but we’ll allow it this time. The recent Leather builds for the Nike Air Max 1 have been strong, and they’ve got the benefit of being less prone to blemishes than the standard suede and mesh.
Nike Air Huarache “Hyper Punch”
The Nike Huarache line has, thankfully, been all over the place in 2014. One of the highlights on the brighter end of the spectrum is this pair, which mixes a mostly black upper with hyper punch outsole for flare.
NIKE SPORTSWEAR Nike air max 90 3m unisex Suede sneakers cz2975-002
Nike Air Force 1 Mid “White”
You can never argue against a pair of white on white Air Force 1s. The immortally fresh Suede sneaker has been particularly favored recently in the taller builds – the Mids here can help you out with that.
Nike Flyknit Roshe Run “Neo Turquoise”
The Roshe has evolved in a couple of quick years into a powerhouse piece of footwear. There are endless iterations at this point, but many have already marked the techy Flyknit one with Neo Turquoise on them as a must have.
Nike Air Tech Challenge II “Poison Green”
Did you miss out on the Grand Slam Agassi Suede sneakers? We can’t blame you given how tough they’ve been to track down with their boutique distribution. Not to worry, the ATC II is still ticking on the inline end with pairs like this “Poison Green”.

Reebok Training Nanoflex Suede sneakers in zwart “University Red”
Bravo to you if you’ve been able to resist the NIKEiD options currently up for grabs on the Reebok Training Nanoflex Suede sneakers in zwart. The good news is that you can save yourself some money by sticking with the general release versions, like these reds that will be in stores next month.
Nike Air Foamposite One “Triple Black”

D Marathon Running Shoes Suede sneakers MRT580NM “Sport Blue”
If you’ve actually got a school to go back to this season, then the odds are good that you weren’t even born when this pair originally came out. Hopefully you can still appreciate the beauty of an original reborn.
Air Jordan 14 “Ferrari”
If you feel the need to stunt with your fall Air Jordan selection, this might be the best option. The “Ferrari” 14 wins points for its fiery red suede treatment and for being a slightly less celebrated silhouette of the original Tinker Hatfield field.
Jordan Future “Black/Reflective”
Consider it a pair of Air Jordan 11s without all the hassle. The Air Jordan Future has satisfied fans with its heritage shape and its constant availability – you can still find this pair in stores across the country.

ADIDAS Nike air max 90 3m unisex Suede sneakers cz2975-002
boots krisbut 6602 3 7 braz
The boots krisbut 6602 3 7 braz is one of a handful of models lately that’s been called an answer to the Roshe run. For what it’s worth these have some more serious cushioning than that Swoosh shoe in the form of the patented BOOST foam along the bottom.
adidas Crazy Light Boost
If black and white shoes aren’t your thing then this new Damian Lillard model should do the trick. The Suede sneakers work on and off the court and should manage to break some necks with the wild animal print that’s attached.
Cleo jewel-embellished leather sandals
This is definitely one of the high roller models on this compilation but hey, if you want to nail the urban ninja look then there’s no better way to do it. Stay sleek with the Cleo jewel-embellished leather sandals in this blackout version.
NEW BALANCE Nike air max 90 3m unisex Suede sneakers cz2975-002

Another one that might be a little bit tough to swallow in terms of price. The Women S 9.5us Nike M2k Tekno All White Low Top Shoes Men S 8u here isn’t a cheap one, but keep in mind that your hard earned money is getting you a Made in USA shoe with some denim from one of the oldest suppliers around.
New Balance 574 “Pennant Pack”
There’s not too much time left in the MLB season, so you might as well get your baseball themed Suede sneakers in there early. Vying for that spot is this New Balance 574, which has a pennant theme to it and a rather Red Sox looking colorway here.
New Balance 740 “Lakers”
NB can go chunky too. Fast becoming a favorite is the reborn New Balance 740, a shoe that James Worthy wore during the Showtime Lakers’ 1980s dominance. More and more colorways are pouring out, the latest of which is this purple and white.
ASICS Nike air max 90 3m unisex Suede sneakers cz2975-002
Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte V
You can never go wrong with a Ronnie Fieg pair of Asics. If you can track them down that is – his drops have been notoriously tough ever since he graduated to Kith. Good luck this weekend grabbing either the “Sage” or “Rose Gold”.

Asics Gel Lyte III “Honey Mustard”
Fall colors at their finest. You might be more used to the Asics runners going bright with the colors and materials, but this outdoorsy pair just might change your mind.
woven shoes getting it right for each occasion advice “Black/Blue/Red”
We’re frankly a little surprised that the woven shoes getting it right for each occasion advice hasn’t been more chased down in 2014. Maybe the collaboration hype didn’t really translate to the inline versions, but that just cause more for you.
VANS Nike air max 90 3m unisex Suede sneakers cz2975-002
DQM x Vans Sk8-Hi “Square Ones”
You’ll be breaking the whole “No white after Labor Day” rule again with this, but we’d say it’s worth it for how incredibly clean this Sk8 Hi is. Bonus: they’re built for everyday wear, so they’ll be a bit more durable than your average Vans creation.
Vans Customs
Did you know that Vans has their own custom platform? Since most of their models are relatively low tech, the prices are incredibly reasonable as well. You can head there now and create your own colorways if none of the other entries here suit you.
Taka Hayashi x Vans Era “Sea Life Pack”
Mr. Hayashi has had his hands in no small number of Vans Suede sneakers, but most of them have ended up a bit more unorthodox than this. For his new “Sea Life” pack he went with a simple print, one that should still some beachy vibes while you’re stuck on campus.
Banksia Block Sandals
REEBOK CLASSICS Nike air max 90 3m unisex Suede sneakers cz2975-002
Reebok Blast
You’ve already got Answers, Questions, and Kamikazes – what’s next? We’ll suggest the Reebok Blast, another ancient basketball silhouette from the Vector Brand that’s on the verge of a little comeback.

Puma Disc Swift Tech
The Puma Disc Blaze has been reborn. This year the silhouette is looking sharp in its Swift Tech mode, which almost has a bit of a Hussein Chalayan feel on this murderous black pair. And how often do you get some icy soles on a pair of Pumas?
converse x drkshdw converse shoes lily white egret black
The converse x drkshdw converse shoes lily white egret black might not be the most hyped model, especially given how long its been since we saw a collab pair, but hopefully that isn’t the only thing drawing you in to buy. The Suede sneakers are looking strong at the moment in colorways like this olive and white.
