Vans Lacey by Tim Yu
A hybrid slip-on/boat shoe, you get the best of both worlds with the Vans Lacey. Although I haven't yet tried them on, they look super-comfortable like most Vans. The easy-on and off is always a big attraction and I like that if I need more security, the wrap-around laces can be tightened up with a quick pull—for outrunning the fuzz or what have you. They're based on a vintage Vans model and come in a few different colorways. I like the way the black-on-black has an understated appeal that subtly plays-up the offbeat detail.
The Black Vans Lacey is available at Beams for ¥8,190 or check your local retailer.

Ten Boat Shoes With a Twist
We've had an enjoyably nautical summer, so we can actually speak to the proper uses of deck shoes. (If you hadn't noticed, the preppy resurgence has made the style a persistent streetwear option as well.) Whether on dry land, aboard a 46-foot racing yacht or a rowboat, we've come across several updates to the classic pairs that are suitable for either. The current crop...

Generic Man Fall 08
Here's a little peek of what's to come from The Generic Man this fall courtesy of Arktip. The upcoming line looks as if it's made from recycled clothing—most likely Boy Scout or military clothing. There's not much information on this yet, but the recycled cotton outer adds a casual, rough-hewn look. Dark brown laces contrasted with tan is always complimentary and the plaid inner...

Clae Summer 2008
Due to belatedly launch in the next week, Clae's Summer 2008 collection is further testament to the flawless level of detail that the brand strives for. We love the bright, perfectly-hued monotones and contrasts in texture this season. But what struck us this time is how impressive it is for such a young label to consistently come up with shoes that stay true to...
