Shoe Style at NYMD

The best footwear from New York Men's Day Spring/Summer '17 presentations.

New York Fashion Week: Men’s kicked off yesterday with New York Men’s Day, sponsored by Cadillac. Designers premiered Spring/Summer ’17 looks that fell mostly into two camps—tropical island–inspired and minimal utilitarian. For footwear, sneakers and espadrilles won the day. Check out some of our favorites.
