Summer shoes used to be a real dilemma for guys. The lack of in-style sandals was impossible to ignore, so we all resorted to sneakers. Luckily, in 2023, the footwear landscape has changed drastically, freeing up a lot of room for summer shoes. With names like Keen, Birkenstock, Merrell, and many more providing footwear ranging from mules to technical sandals, there’s no excuse for sweaty feet this year.

One of the best men’s sandals of 2023 has got to be the Nike ACG Watercat+. This new silhouette finds its inspiration in the long history of woven shoes at Nike. Always testing for the next advancement in design, Nike has long made use of woven techniques to provide breathability and comfort, and the Nike ACG Watergate+ is just the latest example.

The quick-drying cord upper is the star of this show, proving the utilitarian backdrop of the shoe as well as the bold visual character that defines it. The shoe basically eats up any slippery rocks or muddy trails with a lugged, mixed-rubber outsole that’s much more stable than your average sandal.

Sure, there have been comparisons made between the Nike ACG Watercat+ and its popular Keen counterpart, but that takes nothing away from this silhouette’s form and function. Plus, the white colorway will match any summer 'fit.
