Part 5 of 5 from The Kingsland Shoe Project’s 25 Most Loved Pairs of 2025 👟✨

Last round: a final mix of golf, lifestyle, retro heat, and future-forward tech.

Which pair from this post are you taking to break necks in 2026?

Slide 2: Aimé Leon Dore Suede Derby Hiker

Half Italian-made dress derby, half lugged hiker, fully ALD. Rich suede, metal eyelets, and a chunky sole mean it can handle real walking, but the proportions are clean enough to sit under pleated trousers or denim without looking like trail gear.
📸:

Slide 3: Sun Day Red Pioneer Magnolia – Off-White/Brick

Tiger’s new brand went full heritage here: wingtip-style leather upper, waterproof build, and a color combo that looks as good in the clubhouse as it does on the tee. Underfoot, modern cushioning and a grippy outsole make it feel more like a performance trainer than an old-school golf shoe.
📸:

Slide 4: Pharrell x adidas Adistar “Jellyfish”

An underwater story rendered in translucent overlays and flowing gradients on top of a cushioned, long-walk-friendly sole. Its unique 3D shape and lines nail that sweet spot where design nerds and comfort-seekers both feel seen.
📸:

Slide 5: UNDEFEATED x Air Jordan 4 Retro

Olive tones, premium materials, and two decades of UNDEFEATED x Jordan lore baked in. Most of us thought we would only ever see these on feeds, but Jordan finally re-released these and sparked conversation in 2025 that made them impossible for us to leave off this list.
📸:

Slide 6: On Cloudboom Strike LS

Built like a race tool, styled for real life. The sculpted CloudTec midsole and carbon-infused plate want to roll you forward fast, but the LS upper makes it totally acceptable as a post-run coffee shoe. If you like your performance pairs to look a little wild and feel very serious, this one hits. The future is now.

Part 4 of 5 from The Kingsland Shoe Project’s 25 Most Loved Pairs of 2025 👟✨

By now you know the drill: no rankings, just pairs we genuinely loved wearing and talking about.

Drop your favorite in the comments and tag a friend who’d agree, or disagree.

Slide 2: REGAL Shoe & Co. Tyrolean GORE-TEX

From the ankle up it’s a smart leather Tyrolean-style shoe, but underneath it’s all tech: GORE-TEX membrane, Vibram outsole, and OrthoLite cushioning. Made in Japan, it’s built for rain, cobblestones, and long days while still looking sharp with tailoring or dark denim.
📸: ._

Slide 3: New Balance U991UT2 by Up There

Flimby craft meets Melbourne taste. Layered suede, technical mesh, reflective hits, and Up There’s signature green create a 991 that feels both stealthy and special. ENCAP cushioning keeps it comfy for all-day city walking, and the inverted labels and tiny details quietly flex to those who know.
📸: .one

Slide 4: Nigel Sylvester x Jordan “Better With Time” & “Brick By Brick”

Two shoes, one narrative: building a life brick by brick. The AJ1 Low comes pre-aged with cracked textures and “Bike Air” tags, while the AJ4 leans into brick tones and NYC-inspired materials. Both wear like classic Jordans, but every panel feels like a page from Nigel’s BMX story.
📸:

Slide 5: Converse SHAI 001 “Butter”

Shai’s first Converse sig might be the smoothest hoop shoe of 2025. A zipper shroud lets you go sleek and sealed or casual and open and Zoom cushioning plus serious traction keep it game-ready. On foot, it feels like a tunnel-fit sneaker that just happens to get buckets.
📸:

Slide 6: Pantheon Geometric Oxford

A dress shoe with architecture built in. The clean leather upper sits on a faceted, sculptural sole that gives it modern-art energy while still reading as an Oxford. It’s made for people who want their “formal” shoes to be as conversation starting as their sneakers.

Part 3 of 5 from The Kingsland Shoe Project’s 25 Most Loved Pairs of 2025 👟✨

Each drop in this series mixes boots, dress shoes, runners, & collabs we just couldn’t ignore. If you could only keep one of these, which is it and why?

Slide 2: Air Jordan 40 “Chicago”

Forty years of Jordan history filtered into one silhouette, painted in classic Chicago colors. Modern foam and plate tech make it a legit on-court option, while the lines and details quietly nod to past Jordans without turning into a Frankenstein mash-up. The best new performance Jordan silhouette in many years.
📸:

Slide 3: Marni x HOKA “BONDI B3LS”

Max-cushion HOKA geometry wrapped in Marni’s delightfully unique color and material choices. The result is a shoe that feels like a cloud underfoot and a runway prop up top - perfect for anyone who loves performance tech but refuses to dress boring.
📸: .magazine

Slide 4: K-Swiss Marina RMX x Rakeem Miles “Get Me Out The Woods”

Forest-tone suede and mesh, velcro affirmations, and Rakeem’s “Action Figure” character turn this into a mental-health storyboard you wear on your feet. Underneath the art, there’s a chunky, cushioned sole and grippy rubber that make it an easy all-day shoe – thoughtful, fun, and surprisingly practical.
📸:

Slide 5: Dolce & Gabbana Brushed Calfskin Derby

Brushed black calfskin, a sharp last, and a slightly chunky sole give this derby pure “event night” energy. You buy it for weddings, dinners, and big moments, but the outsole and lining are dialed in enough to be way more comfortable than most stiff, old-school dress shoes.
📸:

Slide 6: FootJoy Premiere Series Packard LX “Harris Tweed”

Full-grain leather and genuine Harris Tweed panels turn this into the golf-shoe equivalent of a tailored jacket. The Premiere platform and VersaTrax+ outsole keep you locked in on wet turf, while the tweed and brogue detailing make you look like you’re walking into The Open, not just your weekend muni.

Part 2 of 5 from The Kingsland Shoe Project’s 25 Most Loved Pairs of 2025 👟✨

These are the pairs that lived rent-free in our heads this year.

Tell us your top pick from this carousel and what you’d wear it with.

Slide 2: Air Jordan 1 High '85 "Bred"

The colorway that basically built sneaker culture, back again with true-to-’85 shape and limited numbers. The leather is thick, the cut is high, and the story is bigger than any tech spec sheet - it’s about owning a tiny slice of basketball and streetwear history and keeping it in good shape for the next generation.
📸:

Slide 3: Red Wing Heritage Logger Boot - Briar/Black

Built as a 120th-anniversary tribute, this 8” logger revives a 1961 pattern with briar oil-tanned leather, a Vibram lug sole, and Goodyear welt construction. The break-in is serious, but once it softens it feels like armor that’s been custom-shaped to your foot and looks better with every scuff.
📸:

Slide 4: Onitsuka Tiger - Tiger Loafer

A penny loafer reimagined by a sneaker brand: glossy leather, a slightly puffed silhouette, and an OrthoLite sockliner that makes “dress shoe comfort” feel real. It slots perfectly between formal and casual, working with suits, wide chinos, or denim without ever feeling too precious.
📸: .vn

Slide 5: Adidas Adizero EVO SL

A featherweight trainer that sneaks into race-shoe territory thanks to a big slab of Lightstrike Pro and a very snappy rocker. We love it because it’s cushioned enough for daily wear, light enough for serious workouts, and one of those shoes we ended up reaching for way more than planned.
📸:

Slide 6: Allen Edmonds Morrison Reserve WC - Chili

Cut from a single piece of calfskin and finished in a hand-burnished chili tone, this whole cut shoe is AE showing off. A Goodyear welt and recraftable leather sole let you keep it for decades, while cork and cushioning underfoot mean it slowly molds to your foot instead of punishing it on long days.

Part 1 of 5 from The Kingsland Shoe Project’s 25 Most Loved Pairs of 2025 👟✨

This series isn’t about “the best” for everyone, it’s the shoes we personally obsessed over in 2025 at The Kingsland Shoe Project, our personal favorites.

Drop your favorite from this post in the comments and tell us why it wins!

Slide 1: Vans Old Skool 36 Souvenir - Warm Brown

The Souvenir take on the Old Skool loads the upper with distressed canvas, tweed details, and pin-style accents that feel like mementos from a great trip. Underneath, it’s still that flexible, low Vans ride, but visually it’s part skate shoe, part travel journal.
📸:

Slide 2: Timberland 6" Woven Boot - Black

The classic 6-inch Timberland gets a woven leather upper that makes it feel more boutique than blue-collar. You still get waterproof nubuck, padded collar, and that heavy lug sole, but the texture plus all-black colorway suddenly work with wide slacks and smarter fits, not just jeans and hoodies.
📸:

Slide 3: PAYNTR Match Day SC

Think “tour-level golf shoe disguised as a sleek trainer.” Waterproof upper, plush midsole foam, a propulsion plate, and serious traction tuned around how golfers actually use the ground make it a monster in golf performance. It’s easily one of the most “walk 36 and still feel good” shoes in 2025.
📸:

Slide 4: Nike Air Max 95000 "Black Volt"

Nike’s 3D-printed fever dream takes Air Max 95 DNA and spins it into a single-piece sculpted shell with visible heel and forefoot Air. They are surprisingly comfortable, and visually wild enough to make a statement about the future of footwear.
📸:

Slide 5: Nike Kobe 6 Protro "All-Star Sail"

The Kobe 6 comes back with updated Protro cushioning and a soft sail upper that swaps classic “mamba scales” for a starry-textured overlay in spots. It’s light, low, and insanely responsive for guards and wings, but mellow enough in color that you can nicely pair it with sweats or denim and still look clean.
