Men's Varsity - Parchment (Blizzard Sole)

The retro stitching on the toe cap gives these a sharper look than most casual sneakers, and they’ve held up great through full workdays and weekend errands. The sole grips well on wet pavement, which is a bonus I didn’t expect.

These shoes are incredibly light, and the parchment color looks even better in person than online. The padded heel collar makes them feel like slippers, perfect for wearing all day without any break-in period.

I was a little worried the blizzard sole might feel too stiff, but it’s actually surprisingly cushioned and has great grip on slick floors. The parchment color is even better in person, and these have become my go-to for running errands and casual Fridays.
