City Boyz in the lead all Summer, HA!

I’ll keep it real (that’s what we do), sandals were never cool to me. I always felt the summer-ready slip-ons were reserved for the uncle that makes fire ribs at the cookout or for the Dad that needs something comfortable and breathable to wear when he takes the kids to Six Flags Great Adventures. Man, was I wrong!

Sandals have somehow infiltrated streetwear and I’m here for it. So far there’s been a number of collaborations between storied sandals brands and major streetwear labels this year, which is a strong indicator that the sandal trend is stronger than ever. But why?

As streetwear evolves, guys are looking for pieces that not only look good but are versatile and serve a purpose. Sandals are breathable, lightweight, comfortable AF, and can go with any outfit. Take a look at a few of our favorite sandals on the market right now and style inspo for those ready to get ‘fits off. It’s a Hot Boy Summer!
