What Will Be the Shoe of Summer 2025? 7 Menswear Experts Weigh In |
Just about every summer, a shoe of the moment emerges in menswear circles. Perhaps no silhouette is more emblematic of this phenomenon than the Adidas Samba, the classic sneaker that held sustained ‘It shoe’ status for several seasons running.

New contenders for the top spot have emerged recently, from ballet-inspired silhouettes and heeled leather mules to the super sleek kicks we lovingly call tornado sneakers.
