Lululemon recently entered the men's footwear world, and it did so with a bang. We have always been fans of the brand's clothing (we're looking at you, ABC pants), so we had high expectations for the sneakers. And let us tell you this, they did not disappoint. Extremely lightweight yet still supportive, you won't want to take this pair off.

The Desert Boot goes way back. Like 1950s back. There's a reason the minimalist suede design is still alive and kicking today, and it's called craftsmanship. From the sand suede upper to the breathable leather lining, this attention to detail is impeccable. Plus, when you get where you're going, they can dress up or down with ease.

These days, it seems like Golden Goose has a sneaker for almost every occasion.

The scuffed soles create the brand's signature worn-in look that makes these feel like they've been in your shoe rotation forever.

This pair isn't just comfortable and breathable, but it's entirely recyclable. It's so recyclable, in fact, that you even get credits if you follow the brand's trade-in program.

There's a reason why Air Forces have been a wardrobe staple since 1982. The simple leather look, iconic Swoosh, and subtle cushioning make this pair a no-brainer.

If you don't have TSA Pre, then you understand the pain of having to remove your shoes for security. Instead of fuddling with the laces of your sneakers, opt for a pair of Chelsea boots, from Blundstone in particular. The elastic side coupled with heel and front tabs will help you breeze through security.

Todd Snyder's vintage-inspired sneakers take on a mixed media craftsmanship that juxtaposes two-tones of leather and suede. Throw on a some simple slacks with the low-profile silhouette for an effortless fit.

Extremely flexible and durable, this Rothy's loafer is a fan favorite. Knit from about 21 plastic bottles, sustainability is at the core of the design. The raised nubs on the outsoles produce extra grip to combat those slippery airport floors.
