Check out British indie footwear line Pointer. They've got a killer mix of sneakers that are sort of skater/fashion hybrids and boat shoes that are perfect for the preppy hipster movement that's brewing right now in New York.

Pointer was created with the aim of making simple, well-designed casual shoes in response to a market then saturated with increasingly technical trainers and hyped-up limited edition sneakers.

Bold, bright prints usher in a braver tomorrow, while the subdued classics and muted tones remain for those who prefer to slip into something more subtle. New styles introduce multi-coloured threading and contrasting trims, and old favourites are upgraded with embroidered logos, a choice of lace colourways and patterned soles.

And though staying true to Pointer's principle of low-profile design aesthetics, structure and comfort have been improved across the entire line: the latest collection sees the introduction of new men's and women's lasts, moulded soles and higher recovery foam insoles with more substantial heel and arch support.

Check out the pics below of some of my favorite styles of men's shoes from the line. Click here to check out the full range on Pointer's site. The line can be found in the US at Reed Space (New York) and American Rag (SF and LA). For a complete list of stockists, click here.
