Remember that one time last summer when we decided it was awesome to wear socks with sandals, ideally argyles with Birkenstocks? No? You don’t remember that? That’s because it never happened, as we wouldn’t be caught $*%ing dead in that shit. Truth is, a good pair of summer kicks is essential. Urban Outfitters collaborated with famed leather house Billykirk to come up with The Brothers Bray & Co.’s classic topsider-style shoe. A suede upper and rubber sole held together with stitching done by hand make it a classic that lasts as well. We know flip-flops are your go-to for these warm months, but step it up a notch. Pun intended, sadly.
