Another day, another Vans Vault collaboration with a professional skater. Today’s fresh kicks of the day come to you from Levi Maestro who is apparently known for his “wit, personality and charisma.” We can’t confirm continue...
Once you get to the point where a product you created is considered iconic, you don’t do much to screw with that formula. Adidas Sambas and boat shoes are both pretty recognizable so combining the continue...
Crappy weather is more detrimental to fashion than the entire line of Ed Hardy gear. Women bundle up in puffy jackets and you throw in the style towel before you even step out the door. continue...
It might seem counterintuitive when you’re talking about a timekeeping device strapped on your wrist, but there’s something to be said for a watch that can be considered timeless. All of the Ansel watches in Fossil’s collection of men's watches have a 41mm face (perfect size for everyday wear), but they’re available with so many options (face color, band, bracelet, chronograph) that you’ll have a problem choosing just one to buy. It’s a good problem though because these vintage inspired classic watches are so affordable you can buy more than one. $85+
Denim is a lot like cologne—wear the right amount and you’re safe, wear too much and suddenly people steer clear of you like you have something contagious. While bad style might not spread like the flu, continue...
We’ve always found the term “running shoe” a little off. Sure, some shoes labeled as such get purchased for a bit of cardio, but the majority of them are purchased because they happen to look good continue...
Gyms are packed right now with people burning off holiday cookies, apple pies and beer guts, and we’re no different. Actually, there is one difference between all of us here at Cool Material (along with you continue...
There are certain materials and terms that are common in shoe descriptions—rubber sole, suede exterior, NBA star names—but every once in a while you stumble upon one you don’t see too often. In the case of continue...
It’s no secret that, around these parts, we love tattoos. If we could get away with full sleeves in client meetings, and we weren’t worried about the aging process, we’d probably be covered in ink continue...
Ripstop nylon was originally created to serve as a replacement to silk in the production of parachutes during WWII. To be fair, anything good enough for parachutes in WWII is something we want gear made continue...
When it comes to shoes, we’re creatures of habit. We’re all for fancy new chukka boots and loafers and oxfords, but sneakers will probably always be the largest portion of our kick collection because they’re continue...
It’s quickly becoming the time of year where we have to limit our sneaker usage. We stow away our custom New Balance US574′s, our beat up pair of Vans and break out some more durable options. Even continue...
There are a few certain things in life: death, taxes and new pairs of Nikes. Say what you will about their business practices, but nothing feels the same as just doing it and slipping into continue...
There’s something to be said for a simple, eye-catching sneaker. It’s that sort of sentiment that helped make chucks, purcells and nylites so popular and Veja is using a similar model for their Domingos – continue...
Being environmentally conscious doesn’t necessarily mean ending up with a product like the Smart Car that is—be honest—heinous looking. New Balance went back to the drawing board with their new line of newSKY shoes and continue...
Thanks in no small part to Judd Apatow, Michael Cera and Jonah Hill, geeks/nerds/whatever-you-want-to-call-dudes-that-didn’t-play-varsity-in-high-school are cool again. You know what that means? Liking Star Wars is cool again – no thanks to Hayden Christensen and continue...
