Last summer was all about the Adidas Sambas, and this summer was all about the Onitsuka Tigers. But don’t worry, they’re not out of style yet. Skip the yellow pair you’ve seen all over Instagram and opt for them in white with blue and red stripes, an instant classic.

It’s a win-win for all the sustainable-minded folks out there.
