Men who want to embrace [military and army details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) in their wardrobe but in a less casual, more dapper way should think about introducing the Modern Vice Kenton Desert Camo shoe into it. It is a chic shoe that boasts an [earthy camouflage pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-vomero-premium-black-realtree) that is not too overwhelming. Paired with khaki shorts or denim pants and a basic white tee and their summer outfit is set.

The Modern Vice Kenton Desert Camo shoe is the latest rendition of the brand's ankle cut Kenton silhouette. Resting above an industry favorite [Vibram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huckberry-x-danner-mountain-moc-917) Christy outsole with a natural leather stitched welt, it is finished with an air force blue leather lining and matching waxed laces. It is set to release this summer.
