Some of the most highly-anticipated Memorial Day sales of this year are from popular retailers like Huckberry, REI, and Solo Stove with shoppers rushing to order summer camping gear, new seasonal shorts, and new wares to spruce up the backyard. But one of the best sales you'll find online this weekend is at Cole Haan, which is offering up to 50% off some of its storied business casual sneakers, sandals, and dress shoes until the morning of May 26.
Time is ticking on the sale, but there are several styles to consider picking up over the holiday weekend in preparation for warmer weather. Brand new Zerogrand dress sneakers are on sale in tons of colors, including some that are perfect for summer weddings. One of the best leather sandals we've seen this year is also on sale in three classy colors as is the brand's summer mainstay Pinch Weekender Penny Loafer, which is under $100 right now. Tons of other amazing sneaker styles, like the GrandPro Crossover and the GrandPro Ashland, but after Men's Journal looked through all the styles listed under Cole Haan's Memorial Day sale, we found these four that are a must-see before all else.
Cole Haan's Zerogrand Remastered just launched in March, but certain colorways like this one have already been roped into special sales. The new version of the shoe doesn't mess with its aesthetics, but instead upgrades features guys fell in love with from the get-go and fixes a decade-old problem—traction. The midsole contains 40% more cushioning than the last—a feature nobody is going to argue with—and is slightly more flexible while incorporating the brand's new dandelion rubber into the formula. But the biggest draw now is the rubber-treaded sole, which increases grip by 51%, offering guys a certain confidence the previous iteration didn't have. Find this recently-released summery Zerogrand in four great suede colors that are perfect to wear with chambray and shorts.
What Shoppers Are Saying: This style is new for the season, but those who have made their way to the leather Zerogrand Remastered have said, "The upgraded design is worth the spend with the added cushioning, on its own. As a business professional, I love these shoes, as they are a great blend of business casual and comfort. Highly recommend."

The Cole Haan Nantucket Cross Strap Sandal is exactly what guys need for beach weddings, vacation dinners, and Independence Day barbecues. They replace the casual look you'd expect of most sandals with something more elegant and refined that pairs perfectly with linen shirts and pants, a flat-front pair of shorts, or a light pair of jeans. They're also the right design for those who can't stand the feeling of a thong strap between their toes while offering far better support. It comes in three classy colors in whole sizes from 7 to 13, and if you're in between, make sure to size up.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Really great sandals! Timeless classic. Dress up or down with virtually anything—just not the tux, but I guess if you’re into it!

White sneakers are a must-have for summer, and Cole Haan makes some of the best, including the GrandPro Rally sneaker. This version of the brand's popular tennis shoe takes inspiration from courts, soccer pitches, and historic militaria, donning the classic German army trainer (or GAT) T-toe that's very in right now. To separate it from the Adidas Sambas of the world, the brand included a detail on the heel that's become somewhat of a calling card for it over the years—ornate broguing. It's available in sizes 7 to 13 and comes in six fantastic colors, but this one happens to be our favorite.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "I have several pairs of Cole Haan now and these are instant favorites. They fit true to size, are really lightweight, and are comfy from the time you put them on. These happen to be a bit more casual, so you can wear them with shorts and a T-shirt, but you can also dress them up for business casual looks."

The Pinch Weekender Penny Loafer is a style Cole Haan has been making for years that, at this point, has become a quintessential summer must-have that shoppers buy every year. Made from suede, nubuck, or leather, depending on the color, these casual everyday summer loafers offer the perfect go-between of business casual and weekend ready and look just as good with a pair of tech chinos as they do with swim trunks as you head to the pool. We're partial to the fun faded red colorway, but they come in four other neutral colors and are available in sizes 7 to 13.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "My Pinch penny loafers are exceptional. The fit and comfort are great. The number of rave reviews is unbelievable."
