A lot of great labels are looking to California for inspiration—Trovata, for instance—but this is the first convincing sneaker we’ve seen.

The label is SeaVees, and they’re keeping production of this 01/68 down to 45 pairs, so you won’t be seeing it on shelves, but that shouldn’t stop you from basking in its glory.

Supposedly, SeaVees took inspiration for the 01/68 from the Eames Chaise, but we prefer to think of it as a laid-back leather update of the classic Keds. Don’t let the casual look fool you: the tops are perforated suede and the shoelaces are leather thongs, so these kicks can take some real damage.
