6 of the best men’s sneakers for spring / summer from SeaVees

We like footwear that delivers in the three key areas of comfort, style and affordability and that’s why SeaVees are always one of our first ports of call when our own footwear needs a refresh here at Coolector HQ. This iconic footwear brand had a groundbreaking advertising campaign throughout the 1960s, meaning that SeaVees were able to bring about the transformation of the sneaker from gym shoe to casual shoe. Unfortunately, the brand was later shuttered and lay dormant for close to four decades before being rediscovered in 2008. The rest, as they say, is history. If you’re after some sneakers with more than a hint of Californian cool, SeaVees are the brand for you. They are also a brand you can feel good about wearing because, for Earth Month this April, they are donating $5 from every purchase to SeaTrees, an environmental nonprofit that restores carbon sequestering kelp forests along the coast.

Check out our pick of 6 of the best sneakers for spring / summer from SeaVees below:
