If you’re on the hunt for summer footwear, Chaco and Gramicci have teamed up to release two new colorways of the popular Z/1 sandal, our pick for the best hiking sandals. They’ll last you “forever, even after years of travel wear and tear,” assures photographer and National Geographic explorer Erika Skogg.
Kate McLeod has just released three new scents of its luxuriously smooth and highly hydrating Body Stone lotion bars (which are ideal for travel and also make a wonderful gift). Citrus Grove features lime, grapefruit, and coconut; Coastal Gardenia is a blend of florals and sandalwood; and Dusk will act as a natural insect repellant, according to the brand, thanks to notes of citronella and lemongrass.
Otterbox has launched a collection of Amalfi Coast–inspired phone cases adorned with oranges, lemons, and palm trees to protect your tech while you’re out mountain biking, whitewater rafting, or simply strolling and taking in the sights.

Vans’ iconic Slip-On silhouette has received a puffy makeover courtesy of Proenza Schouler. Made of leather and available in black, ecru, or a light yellow shade called “resin,” the exaggerated proportions do slightly resemble clown shoes, but in an intentional way.
Loewe and On have co-designed a capsule collection full of ultraluxe athleisure featuring the two brands’ merged logos. In addition to these souped-up Cloudtilt sneakers, there are very high-tech — and very expensive — puffer jackets, sweatshirts, and running shorts.
