TRETORN (Sweden) Skymra Marina Slip-Ons

A great twist on a classic, Tretorn's Skymra sneakers feature an oversized elastic strap that ensures a secure fit while showcasing a modern asymmetrical design and signature Tretorn look.
A simple sneaker for laid-back days or, if you’re the type who dislikes the hassle of shoe laces, just great when you need to get out the door on time in the morning!
P.S. Be prepared for compliments, if not plenty of "did-you-draw-the-lobster-yourself"s :-D

TRETORN
Founded in Sweden at the end of the 19th century, Tretorn’s association with life on and off court rapidly created something of a cult following surrounding the brand, a status which was firmly secured when Wimbledon winners took to the grass in Tretorn in the 1970s. Inspired by the high profile and success of the brand, Tretorn's canvas and leather Nylites were literally the only shoe in which to be seen wearing on North American campuses throughout the 1980s. Lean and understated, the Tretorn sneaker was as good as the first luxury sports shoe on the market. Tretorn’s expertise in rubber-made products demonstrates a consistent commitment to quality and brand over hype, offering a collection most appreciated by those with a practical sensibility and a lifestyle largely enjoyed outside.

LYLE & SCOTT Canvas Plimsolls

The Year was 1874, and William LYLE and Walter SCOTT borrowed £1300 to form a small knitwear company in Hawick, Scottland and began to manufacture high quality hosiery and underwear.
More than a whopping a century and one-third later, Lyle &
Scott is still standing tall, appealing fashion-enthusiasts -including many sports stars and celebrities- from all over the world.
Based on subculture and modernist principles, Lyle & Scott’s “Vintage” line is identifiable by the distinctive Golden Eagle. The range employs a smart and youthful strong aesthetic to make the wearer stand out and be noticed.
These timeless, super-relaxed Lyle and Scott Vintage cotton canvas plimsolls have tonal laces and the Golden Eagle badge on the tongue.

SUPREME Canvas Sneaker

In the market for a clean casual shoe? After previous successful crossovers with Vans, Nike and countless artists and graphic designers, cult downtown brand Supreme has taken the concept and experience of their past collaborations on board and created their own footwear. Simply called "canvas shoes", these breathable oxfords are lined with leather and sit on a comfortable gum sole. Just right for those who don't want to step away from the sneaker feel.


ABOUT SUPREME
In 1994, Supreme opened its doors on Lafayette Street in downtown Manhattan and became the home of New York skate culture. Challenging the dominance of the established West Coast skater scene and the then conservatism of NYC, Supreme defi
ned the aesthetic of an era of rebellious cool that reached from skaters to fashionistas and hip hop heads. Over the last 16 years, the brand has stayed true to its roots while collaborating with some of the most groundbreaking artists and designers of its generation, and with stores in Los Angeles and Japan has become an international icon of independent counter-cultural style.

In this rare sit-down with Interview Magazine, Supreme's U.S.-born, England–raised founder James Jebbia offers some insight into his influential brand:-
