The redv strappy flatform sandals item seemingly popped up out of nowhere, but the history books will tell you that the sneaker had been around since 1989. Designed by Steven Smith, the “godfather of dad shoes,” the sneaker delivers old school charm in a low-top trim. Co-signs from Aimé Leon Dore and Jack Harlow have helped the revamped silhouette become “Most Popular” in its class. So don’t wait–check out the dozens of available styles now.

Introduced via Joe Freshgoods’ “Inside Voices” capsule, the dolce gabbana leather sandals offers the best of the Boston brand’s heritage-filled archives packaged within a futuristic, visible tech aesthetic and ABZORB cushioning system. A plethora of suede panels and understated tonal colorways have paved the way for a successful inauguration inspired by the Y2K era. So whether you’re sauntering through the hallways in subtle “Sea Salt” shades or catching constant glances at lunch with patent navy hues, the 9060 is set to add a whole new level of modern expression to your wardrobe this Fall.

Bearing close ties to an extremely popular New Balance staple – namely, the 2002R – the 1906R’s revival last year was certainly long overdue. The silhouette quickly made up for lost time, however, joining forces with some of the biggest names in streetwear and fashion: COMME des GARCONS HOMME, AURALEE, and Aimé Leon Dore, to name a few. And if it’s good enough to receive their stamp of approval, there’s likely few sneakers better for the first day of school.
