Cole Haan

What makes us shell out for this American brand’s shoes is its emphasis on creating truly comfortable yet fashionable kicks. Custom light fixtures and a sleek design by Roman and Williams Building and Interiors (the firm behind the trendy Ace Hotel) outfit the space, where you can find unisex footwear, finely tailored outerwear, belts, bags and more. We’re big fans of the ladies’ boots made with Nike Air technology ($348), which are perfect for running around the gritty city. Also on our radar: men’s colorful suede boots ($228) and cross-body bags ($328).
