This casual, rumpled take on a classic Panama hat by Nonnavtive looks great for the summer. The natural tone is nicely offset by the navy band and flimsy brim.

Nike Air Force 1 Gum Sole

—01. Available in black or white.

Words

There is just something about this shoe. I was tempted to purchase the updated Lunar version earlier this year, but held off, perhaps for these. The simple addition of the gum sole to the classic white or black leather upper sets them off just right.
