Looking great right now are these Seevees Bayside Moccasins from Steven Alan. We like the grey/blue mid-cut however they also come in a brown for those who prefer a low-cut moccasin. Both come with leather laces and the most intriguing part of these are the ‘natural bamboo soles’ along with the affordable price tag. Throw on a fitted pair of khaki’s or some shorts with either of the moccasins and you are good to go. More photos after the jump…

Who would have thought that adidas would combine two of my favorite things in life, the beach and classic Stan Smith trainers. Ok they didn’t actually put sand in with the trainer, adidas just named their new 2010 collection the ‘Beach Pack’ in which they gave the Forum Mid, Superstar and Stan Smith a summery beach look. My obvious favorite is the Stan Smith which features crisp white leather along with a colourful quick-dry mesh but keeping the distinct aesthetic of the classic trainer.

The beautifully crafted Red Wing Leather and Canvas boots have been making headlines the past couple of weeks. These copper brown mid cut boots are made with wabasha leather and a quarter olive canvas panels. Added to the classic aesthetics are raw hide laces, brass eyelets and Virbram rubber sole meant to last a lifetime. The boots also come in a dark brown but instead of five eyelets as shown above they are extended a bit higher with seven eyelets. The Red Wing boots are starting to sell out already as people are finding them to be a perfect boot for the spring.

Look out Common Projects, there is a new clean cut trainer in town. Hong Kong based label Cipher, is the company making an impressive impact with their Alpha trainer. There are not many low cut ivory grain leather trainers made like this one. The sleek clean lines make these the most aesthetically pleasing to appreciate with our eyes. In addition, they come in three different colourways, grey calf suede, black perforated, and of course white ivory grain leather. Check out the other colours after the jump. We’ll take two pairs for each of us please!

By just looking at the style and craftsmanship of the Christopherson’s Creamery Milkman boot, there is good reason why it has been making waves across the internet. The exclusive design was a collaborative effort between Blackbird and New England based shoe company Alden whom has been around since 1884. The Christopherson’s Creamery Milkman is a plain toe navy blucher high boot with perforated quarter detailing at the ankle and features black cordovan leather. The soft but durable genuine leather takes a full six months to produce and uses a rare centuries-old method of pure vegetable tannage and hand finishing. The boot also features rubber commando outsoles and a cork midsole with steal shank for long lasting strength and support. Blackbird and Alden put together an absolute mastercraft and a heritage boot brought back for our modern times. More photos after the jump…
