Seavees Buck

If you’ve been recently lurking on men’s fashion sites, I’m sure you’re well acquainted with Seavees. J. Crew has them, James Perse has a limited slip-on, and Steven Alan carries the mocs. After months of going unnoticed, the California inspired footwear line is finally starting to grow on me. I was sold after seeing their version of the classic buck. I was not prepared to drop cash on a pure white/red brick soled buck, so these should ease my transition into buck-erizing this California summer.

Vans has always been a staple in California culture, and they've always made the cleanest basic shoes. Check out these Vans Era Wingtip shoes for the Vans California Collection. They come out in July and they make a perfect summer shoe. Put 'em on with a pair of short and T-shirt or tank top, and you will have that perfect summer look.

85 Degrees and Rising

So it's starting to get hot in Southern Cali.  This time of the year is always bitter sweet.  As I say hello to shorts, tanks, tees, polos, and flip flops; I also have to say goodbye to my sweaters, jackets, and boots.  It was 85 degrees in LA last night and I had to bring out my favorite TOMS canvas slip-ons.  TOMS are fantastic.  I'd go ahead and tag them as the best travel shoes of all time.  Not only are they comfortable but TOMS are the easiest pair of shoes to remove during security checks. Beats having to take my socks off and unlace my sneakers only to put them all back together again.  Saves me at least 10 minutes since I'm always running late.  If you're unfamiliar with TOMS and their One for One campaign click here.

O RLY?

Now a days, many shoe companies boast that they have the most comfortable basketball shoes, or if you wear their shoes, you will play like a pro. But now, Athletic Propulsion Labs claims they made a shoe shoe that instantly adds inches to your vertical leap, thanks to their patented "Load N' Launch" technology. Being that I'm only 5'9" and I've always wanted to dunk, I was automatically intrigued. But of course a promise like that isn't going to come cheap. For 300 dollars, you can choose from 2 different colorways of the debut model. I personally think they look like a rip-off of the Air Jordan XXIII, but if they really do work, i might consider getting a pair so i can get my Lebron on. You can pre-order a pair starting on March 24th on their website for the price tag of $300. http://www.athleticpropulsionlabs.com/
