London-based menswear designer Nicholas Daley is a rising star in the UK fashion scene, shining a light on Black culture and his cultural heritage. After unveiling his Spring/Summer 2024 collection earlier this year, the designer unities with G.H. BASS for his debut footwear collaboration. Daley sets a premium touch on G.H. BASS’ Weejuns loafer, reinventing the formal offering in “Navy” and “Chocolate” colorways. The low-top model is crafted from suede and burnished leather with embossed crocodile patterns, seeing braided details line the toe boxes in white. The silhouette’s trademark leather strip decorates the upper half with a smooth finish featuring elegant interlocked silver hardware. Cursive-style “Bass” badges subtly hit the ankle areas, completing the design with tonal and chunky Super Lug sole units for supreme comfort. Take a closer look at Nicholas Daley’s G.H. BASS Weejuns loafer collaboration in the gallery above. It is available to shop now via the designer’s website for £166 GBP (approximately $203 USD).

Named after Michael Jordan’s iconic six NBA championship wins, the Jordan 6 Rings combines elements from seven classic Air Jordan silhouettes he wore during the six championships. Gearing up for the colder weather, the Jordan 6 Rings Winterized returns in a sleek, all-black colorway. With its weather-resistance makeup due the thick premium leather that is used throughout the full-length upper, overlay, heel counter and tongue construction, the shoe is sturdy and weather-ready. Ballistic mesh is also used across the upper and tongue, while metallic lace loops give the shoe a heavy duty and functional look. Tonal branding and a rubber outsole rounds out the shoe’s design.Look out for the Jordan 6 Rings Winterized “Black” dropping later this year at select retailers and online at Nike for $185 USD.

No outfit is complete without a the right pair of shoes to round it all off. Taking a look at what people are wearing during Milan Fashion Week, Hypebeast was on the ground capturing some of the best and unique footwear trends during the Spring/Summer 2024 season. When it comes to fashion week, there is a lot of walking around to get from point A to point B. With shows scattered across the city and hundreds of press, media and more attending each show, showgoers are often on their feet hustling to the next location. While it is the time to look your best, in recent years, footwear trends have favored comfort and versatility over eclectic styles. This time around, sneakers continue to be the footwear of choice, showing that function is indeed at top of mind. The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 has made its way to becoming a fashion week sneaker staple. In the past few seasons, the Vomero 5’s design has made the silhouette a top shoe of voice with its technical hardwares and its comfortable build. Other Nike shoes like the Dunk Highs and Air Max iterations propel Nike forward as the most popular sneaker brand in the world. Salomon shoes made an appearance as well, making the case for gorp core and adaptable footwear.Like in seasons past, the Balmain Unicorn offers a comfortable and futuristic alternative to the functional everyday Nikes. The clog style makes a return in the form of Balenciaga Defender Slip-Ons while some supported Milan Fashion Week brands with the AVAVAV finger feet boots and Sunnei’s signature aquatic-focused shoes.
