My Three Favorite Kicks to Rock this Summer

The Nike Zoom Stefan Janoski is a a hybrid skate sneaker and boat shoe that can easily be dressed up or down. Wear them to the beach or for a night out on the city. They come in a multitude of colors if you want to go with something flashy or subtle and materials including leather, suede and canvas. Nike has been releasing boatloads of colorways and now has a Janoski mid option that looks great with shorts. Available at your local SB retailer.                                                                                                                               

The Pro-Keds 69er is a classic kick that has been updated for comfort and style. It is now available with or without the rubber toe depending on which material the shoes are made from. Leather 69er's usually come with the rubber toe while the canvas and wool versions do not. Buy these now at pickyourshoes.   

Van's Era is similar to the Authentic, but is a little more beefed up with padding, so you can wear them comfortably without socks and not hurt your achilles. This is a great, durable sneaker thats fit for skating or just  wearing to look fly. Plenty of different colors available at Vans.com.

With summer comes warm weather, but you can stay cool with these three lightweight low-top sneakers. By having a pair of Janoski's, 69er's or Era's in your closet you will be ready for just about any summer situation. All three have relatively small price tags, so feel free to beat them up, wear them to the beach without socks and not worry about the foul smell or getting them scuffed.
