Nike Leather Field General
Born on the gridiron, reborn for the streets — the Nike Field General returns, reshaped for a new era. Once worn by quarterbacks calling shots under Friday night lights, this latest drop revives that same fearless spirit in a silhouette built for city grit. Cloaked entirely in supple leather, the cacao-toned upper delivers a refined take on vintage toughness, while the Waffle sole keeps its '80s roots alive with every step. A padded collar, full cupsole stitch, and foam midsole lock in comfort and durability, making this a sneaker that doesn't just honor history—it commands it.

Velasca Filòm Loafers
Velasca's Filòm Loafers fit like a glove — and that's no play on words. Made from the innermost layer of leather and buffed to give them their signature velvety texture, these suede shoes are washed with pumice stone for a lived-in look and feel, and hand-constructed using a tubular construction and sewn together by an internal seam called a Blake stitch, which helps the shoe flex with the natural flexing of your feet. A bit Ivy and inherently Italian, the shape references traditional college-style loafers, which were low-cut with a 'biscotto' shape. Now, they're a democratic everyman silhouette — but this iteration is for those with a keen sense of style and an eye for quality craftsmanship.

Nike Gato
Once built for the indoor pitch and later claimed by skaters and streetwear purists, the Nike Gato has always thrived where precision meets style. First launched as the Nike5 Gato Street in 2010, this low-profile silhouette combined premium leather, suede, and embossed detailing with functional grip and XDR rubber — crafted for those who play fast and live faster. Now reborn for the modern city grid, the Gato returns with breezy textile underlays for breathability, a soft foam midsole, and that unmistakable gum sole grip. It's not just a comeback — it's a crossover. This revival is for those who look to the past and gain more traction for the future.
