Men’s boots are officially back in shoe rotation this season. The Chelsea style has proven especially popular due to its comfortable low heel and easy on-off silhouette. Mendes is the latest star to wear the style. Celebrities like Timothee Chalamet, Justin Theroux and Kit Harrington have also been spotted in pairs from Givenchy, Saint Laurent and COS in recent weeks.
For footwear, Mendes is often seen in ankle boots, one of his style signatures. The “Mercy” singer regularly wears Frye’s black ‘Grady’ Chelsea boots, as well as leather Cuban-heeled or zip-up pairs from brands like Saint Laurent and Calvin Klein. However, Mendes’ off-duty style is decidedly more casual, as he regularly dons low-top Golden Goose, Adidas and Nike sneakers.
Each fall, Audacy’s We Can Survive concert is held to raise money for a variety of charitable causes. This year’s 8th annual show was held to raise mental health awareness and funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The concert also features a range of star-studded performances.
