For many men today, footwear is the cornerstone of any outfit, the accent on which a style is built. With that in mind, here are some of the best shoes to get either yourself or the man in your life this Eid Al Fitr 2022 and beyond.
Saint Laurent Eastwood suede ankle boots
Western boots like these black suede Eastwood boots are a core style in Saint Laurent’s timeless armoury, shaped with a curved topline and stacked leather heel.
Prada Brushed Leather Loafers for Men
Prada reimagines the classic loafer with a new design and sophisticated details. Crafted from brushed leather, these loafers feature an elastic gusset on the instep, a leather band, an enamelled triangle logo on the vamp, a 35mm heel and a light rubber lug sole.
Bottega Veneta’s Tire Rubber-Trimmed Leather Desert Boots
Bottega Veneta has always had a reputation for impeccable leather craftsmanship – a tradition that Mr Daniel Lee continues to uphold as Creative Director, while also incorporating his own unique spin. These desert boots are made from the smooth hide in the exaggerated profile that we’ve come to expect from the house. The chunky soles will provide support and sturdiness, plus a little height.
Gucci Roos Horsebit Loafers
The Gucci Horsebit loafer first launched in 1953, and has had a longer shelf-life than perhaps any pair like it. They’re buttery soft, sit well below jeans, trousers and slacks–anything you can match them with. A timeless classic.
Carmina Chelsea Boots
Carmina makes some of the best hand-crafted shoes with top-tier materials in the world right now, all made to the exact techniques that Charles Goodyear created in 1869. Their Chelsea boots are an all-time favorite, with a semi-squared tip and a long narrow appearance, finished with a leather sole that is refined with full calf lining.
Dior B29
As Dior’s sneakers become more and more ubiquitous across the most discerning feet in the region, the brand has given its beloved B29 sneaker a makeover for the Summer 2022 Men’s Collection. The new iteration of the retro-inspired sneaker ‘combines the modernity of rubber and reflective canvas with the elegance of leather and suede,’ according to Dior. ‘Its geometric curves and contrasting colours further elevate its vintage look.’
New Balance 990v2 Teddy Santis
If you can find these in stock anywhere in the world right now, grab a pair, as Aime Leon Dore founder Teddy Santis’ first collection as the head of New Balance’s Made in USA line is shaping up to be one of the best of the year–with the first to drop in a grey tan and army green colorway with a cream midsole easily one of the best sneakers of the year so far.
And if you’re looking for a pair for a lady in your life, might we suggest the recent Ganni x New Balance 2002r collab? An absolute stunner, and guaranteed to be a hit.
