The Sunday Sale: Save 50 Percent On these New Chukka Sneakers at Huckberry

If you’re the type of guy who never feels like he has enough stylish sneakers in his rotation — especially some of the best on-sale sneakers — then today’s post is going to be right up your alley. We’re heading over to Huckberry to shop the always-excellent Huckberry Sale section, and I’d say you’re going to love the results. The sneakers in question are the durable, rugged and fall-ready OBRA Heavy Suede Chukkas, the sort of sneaker hybrid that blends a high-top and a chukka, and here’s the catch: Your new favorite sneakers are 50 percent off right now. Yes, that’s right: You’re saving 50 percent on some durable, sustainable sneakers.

What’s the catch? Well, these sneakers are final sale, so you’ll have to shop carefully, but because they’re coming from Huckberry, care and attention to detail is the name of the game. The OBRA Heavy Suede Chukkas use soft Brazilian suede set atop a sturdy Brazilian rubber outsole for traction and grip, while the rubber-wrapped toe offers even more durability.

The chukka design wears well in place of regular high-top sneakers, so feel free to rock these with your favorite fall style essentials, including hard-working blue indigo denim and timeless light grey chinos. For under $80 via the Huckberry Sale section, you won’t find a better pair of men’s sneakers to shop this fall — trust me on that.

The Tuesday Steal: Some of the Best High-Top Sneakers for Fall Are 25 Percent Off at Huckberry

If you keep up with the goings-on here at The Style Guide, you’ll surely know that Huckberry is a true one-stop shop for the best menswear essentials of all sorts, be it the company’s famed waxed trucker jacket or one of the most luxurious hoodies on the market. Yes, they can do it all, including stocking and selling an exclusive pair of the best high-top sneakers — a pair you’ll find marked down right now for 25 percent off in the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section.

Crucially, although the field is crowded when it comes to the best high-top sneakers, there’s something especially about the U.S. Rubber Co. Colchesters Hi Sneakers. For starters, you’ll only find them at Huckberry, and you’ll now find them for just $90 (marked down from $120). It gets better from there, because this set of stylish high-top sneakers, featuring a rugged canvas upper, is based on the original basketball sneakers based on (wait for it)… pairs from 1892. Not a bad touch of retro-meets-modern style to add to your wardrobe, ehh?

The U.S. Rubber Co. Colchesters Hi Sneakers deliver in terms of looks, to be sure, but they’re also a mighty fine set of sneakers when it comes to fall-ready functionality, featuring a durable canvas upper in two versatile colors: Black and Deadgrass. Either would look right at home when worn with, say classic tan chinos or dark blue rolled denim in equal measure.

Metal eyelets add even more durability to the U.S. Rubber Co. Colchesters Hi Sneakers, while the vulcanized rubber outsole stays true to the company’s original method. The reinforced toe cap also bolsters the durability of the surprisingly rugged U.S. Rubber Co. Colchesters Hi Sneakers, and again, you truly can’t beat the sub-$100 price tag. Shop ’em now at Huckberry while they’re still around (and note that there are sizes available from 7 to 13 based on the color you select). Happy hunting, folks.

Style Pick of the Week: Nisolo Diego Low-Top Leather Sneakers

A unstoppably cool pair of spring and summer sneakers from an ethically produced brand.

If you’ve spent any time checking your calendar or checking the weather, or plotting your next spring getaway, perhaps you’re already ahead of me on this one: It’s clear you need a new favorite pair of spring and summer sneakers, right? That’s why we’re here today with another Style Pick of the Week, and it’s a doozy, you might say (in a good way!). The Nisolo Diego Low-Top Sneakers are exactly the pair you need right now, packing in style, sustainability and standout construction. Now, we’ve talked about Nashville-based Nisolo in the past on the blog over the years, from the fact that they make some of the best travel shoes for men to the fact that they also make one of the coolest weekender bags for spring travel (and beyond that). The brand owns a factory in Peru and uses exacting standards to get precise results, and that’s great news for you and me indeed.

So, it only makes sense that they’re making some of the best men’s sneakers, and that they’re doing it the right way. That might even be an understatement, because Nisolo uses sustainable, ethical practices to craft the best sneakers for men (and more), and these attributes are huge bonuses these days. Let’s get into it, shall we? For starters, this particular pair of Nisolo men’s sneakers blends a Vibram rubber sole with ethically sourced and produced leather, and it gets better from there (and how cool is the white leather and gum rubber combination, ehh?).

SHOP: The Nisolo Diego Low-Top Sneakers

These aren’t your average pair of canvas kicks that might give out quickly either, and it’s all owing to the durable and tough construction (yet, that Vibram outsole is going to prove light and springy). Yessir, Nisolo men’s sneakers feature all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a versatile pair of leather sneakers, including waxed cotton laces for a dressier finish than normal. The anti-microbial and cushioning insoles are also crucial, because you’re going to be able to get as much wear as you want out of the Nisolo Diego Low-Top Sneakers.

Helpfully, they’re also priced quite nicely: They’ll run you $150 at Nisolo, and that’s a downright steal compared to other premium leather sneakers for men on the market. The silhouette itself is low-profile and casual, yet easily wearable with chinos and an Oxford shirt. Of course, it’s also cool and laidback enough to wear with your favorite chino shorts and an indigo polo on breezy days this season. To round things out the right way, you actually get your choice between six essential color and leather combinations when it comes to the Nisolo Diego Low-Top Sneakers. If you’re feeling splurge-worthy, consider picking up two and wearing the heck out of ’em for spring and summer. They can handle it: They’re from Nisolo, after all.

For spring and summer, starting right now, you need a pair of the best men’s sneakers, and you need to shop with style and sustainability in mind — that’s where the GREATS Royale in Eco Leather comes into play, and they’re going to change your sneaker rotation as you know it. My appreciation for the GREATS Royale Sneakers dates back years (just check out this 2016 blog post, for starters), and if you know the Brooklyn-based brand, you’re aware that they get the job done when it comes to affordable, premium sneakers for men. It helps that this pair is very eco-friendly, but more on that in a second. The affordability factor is crucial, and that’s because GREATS works with factories that can offer quality product at prices that are far less than some luxury sneakers. That also means the GREATS Royale in Eco Leather retail for just $169, and when you see what you’re getting, that’s a downright steal of a price.

And when it comes to the GREATS Royale in Eco Leather, your sneaker rotation is all the better for it.

Oh, and helpfully, GREATS offers free shipping and free returns on every order. Not bad at all, my friends. But back to the GREATS Royale in Eco Leather, yes?

SHOP: The GREATS Royale in Eco Leather

The leather is what really makes the difference here, and it’s got plenty of technical innovation built right in. GREATS says that these sneakers are made with “sustainably engineered recycled leather,” and in this instance, that means they’re made from 70 percent recycled fibers and leather — how’s that for your new favorite pair of sneakers, right? As to what that means for you, the GREATS Royale in Eco Leather are remarkably lightweight and yet durable (try 40 percent lighter than other pairs of sneakers). Plus, the footbed is made from proprietary Bloom algae foam for a springy feel and sustainable construction, while the custom outsole is also made with recycled rubber. Yes indeed, the GREATS Royale in Eco Leather have plenty going for them when it comes to innovation and eco-friendly design. Last but not least, they’re also lined in soft leather for a comfortable fit and feel.

Of course, they’re also highly stylish and crisp, the perfect sneakers to pair with everything from olive chinos and a navy polo to light wash jeans and a fresh white T-shirt. That’s just a start, though. The GREATS Royale in Eco Leather, with their low-profile design and classic court shoe look, are as versatile as it gets. Take ’em for a spin as often as you please, and know that you can feel great about wearing them.
