With Independence Day behind us we’re finally in the full belly of summer and letting even a day go to waste would be a crime. Summer always ends before you know it, so now is the perfect time to take advantage, and we chose today’s Kicks of the Day to help you do that.

The New Balance 998 “Connoisseur Summer” in Sand celebrates everything that is prototypical summer. Most of the upper is light beige suede, reflecting the beaches where so many of us spend our time. Bright aquamarine and teal are reminiscent of water, with hits of red for contrast. Both those blues and red pop up in the woven laces, like the tie lines on boats. Hits of 3M pop up all over the shoe, and like all the best 998s, these were Made in USA.

Feature Boutique currently has a full size run of these kicks, and since they’re still celebrating July 4th, you can use the discount code “Freedom” at check out to take 25% off your order, bringing the final price of these sneakers to $128. Get them here.
