Classic Uggs are a great three-season option, but sometimes the cozy shearling lining the brand built its legacy on can feel a little stifling in the summer time.

However, the beloved brand’s latest take on its iconic slip-on style could become your new favorite year-round shoe. The Tasman Breeze brings a breathable, tactile new upper into the equation, crafted with warmer days in mind.

Take a breather

The Tasman is one of Ugg’s most popular and defining models; the casual slip-on has been in production for decades and has enjoyed consistent mainstream popularity for years.

There have been plenty of riffs on the low-key style, but the latest makes it possible to enjoy your Tasmans 365 days a year, without overheating.

The Tasman Breeze swaps the silhouette’s traditional smooth suede upper for an engineered knit upper.

This doesn’t just provide a textured, cool take on the well-known shoe; it also massively increases its breathability, a critical quality of a shoe designed specifically for warmer weather.

For good measure, Ugg added in a lightweight microfiber terry knit lining to complete the summer-ready package.

The Tasman Breeze maintains the icon’s Ugg braiding at the collar, as well as its soft sugarcane EVA outsole for comfort and an easygoing slip-on profile.
