Just as in matters of your seasonal menswear wardrobe, from the casually cool pocket tee to the polished linen buttondown shirt, having options at your disposal is critical, and that includes your rotation of the best sneakers for men.

By now, we’ve hit the dog days of summer, and perhaps you feel like you’ve exhausted your resources as far as stylish men’s sneakers go, from the crisp cool of white leather court-style sneakers to the breezy ease of laidback canvas sneakers.

Enter the latest kicks from Merrell, a brand normally known for its hiking boots and sporty trail sneakers, yet now ready to carry you from BBQ to boardwalk and everywhere in between as we savor August (and beyond).

Perhaps you’ve got a pair of Merrell footwear in your summer adventure rotation already via the ever-popular and ultra-comfortable, well-cushioned Merrell Moab 3, for instance. For all those times you’re not on the trail or trekking to the water, consider something with a mix of city-approved style points and the company’s famed underfoot technology.

That’s where the Merrell Cygnet Sneakers add a bit more of a lifestyle punch — think, sneakers stylish enough for a BBQ or early season tailgate, without the same trail-ready functionality and overbuilt design. Complete with a sleek low profile and a mix of leather and suede detailing, these are sleek sneakers made for the man on the go – from business casual to (you guessed it) the BBQ without missing a beat.

The Merrell Cygnet Sneakers retail for a rather remarkable $80, all the while packing in features common of much pricier sneakers. These low-profile men’s sneakers rest on a 50% recycled removable EVA foam footbed, with a grooved rubber outsole that adds traction as well as visual appeal.

A breathable mesh lining helps keep your feet cool in the balmy days of summer, while they’ve also been treated for natural odor control. Leather detailing at the toe and heel adds both style points and functionality, while the company’s “M” logo almost calls to mind the “NB” logo of New Balance. Think of these like a new set of kicks for your rotation, with fashionable good looks to match sneakers you know and love, as it were.

Available in three distinct color options (including the dark charcoal Beluga and the richly crafted Luggage option shown above), they’re might not be a more stylish yet affordable pair of men’s sneakers out there on the market right now. If ever you wanted a way to refresh your footwear rotation on the go while saving a few bucks, the answer to your style conundrum might be the Merrell Cygnet Sneakers, my friends.
