If you'd best describe your style as "understated" but you care about the quality of the stuff you wear, these sneakers from Shoes Like Pottery might be up your alley. The simplistic kicks are hand-sewn and hand-assembled over in Japan, but what makes them really unique is the vulcanizing process. Each shoe is fired ... continue reading
Sneakers will never really be "out," but they're back "in" in a big way right now. Suits, #menswear, Americana, casual, formal, you can pretty much get away with wearing a quality pair of sneakers to any occasion (weddings and black tie generally excluded) and still get the GQ stamp of approval. If you're looking for ... continue reading
It might be a rare occasion, but if you have ever dropped your pocket knife in a pond while out camping, you know the annoyance involved in retrieving that sucker. The Cork Knife eliminates any fear of cutting rope on the side of a lake or whittling wood over a creek while you're on your next trip. The cork handle ... continue reading
Don't let the New York Mets-esque color palette throw you off. These shoes are in no way tied into the carnage happening at Citi Field. The new Nike Air Epic in Sport Grey and Obsidian is yet another stylish foot-hugger we want to get our hands on (err, feet in). Since 1985, the Epic has been a choice of both runners ... continue reading

Whether you're wearing them while jet-setting or going for a run, they've got the simple and classic appeal we always expect from New Balance. With pops of blue and red (really digging the red along the ... continue reading
There was a trend going on for a bit where designers were slapping brightly colored bottoms on the dress shoes they made. As much as we liked the idea of adding a pop of color to our foot gear, we still subscribed to a more classic look when trying to appear presentable. Adding those bottoms to a pair of sneakers, ... continue reading
We're just not ready to make the leap into five-toed footwear. You can sit there and tell us the positives, and we'll keep coming back with the negatives: They look ridiculous. For our lightweight footwear, we'll turn to the new Nike Free 3.0's. Launching on January 1, 2013, the new version of the Nike trainers clock ... continue reading

Any time you tell us your product is made with NYCO fabric (some of the stuff used to craft military wear), you're going to get our attention. When you throw in the fact that it also happens to be a pair of Air Force 1's and a callabo with Supreme, well, we're gonna start salivating like Pavlov's dogs. The Supreme ... continue reading
Hi, my name is *insert name here," and I have a problem. I spend a bunch of time on sites like Hypebeast bookmarking unreleased pairs of throwback style shoes that I plan on buying later. It's an addiction, really. No? Just us? In that case, you're probably not interested in the just-released pair of Puma "The List" ... continue reading
Golf and style don't always go hand in hand. We normally think of excessive amounts of plaid, ultra preppy polos and occasionally some jacked up socks. Not the case with these golf shoes from Adidas. The Adidas Adicross II's are stylish, lightweight, extremely durable and are designed for added traction while you're ... continue reading

We used to only think about Nikes when we thought about Marty McFly or Jordan, but Nike has been on a roll lately with their new shoe releases. The latest to hit the streets is the Air Max Humara (an outdoor fan favorite from the 90s) in a whole new line of colors. This version is some combination of utilitarian military ... continue reading
Just looking at the 02/60 7 Eye Trail Boots from SeaVees makes us want to reach out and feel the leather. Is that weird? Are we on ecstasy? All we know is SeaVees puts thought into each of their products and these boots are no different. Fashioned after the numbers worn during the 1960's Winter Olympics out in California, ... continue reading
Finding cleaning products on Cool Material is kind of like finding your favorite craft brew in a big box store--it doesn't happen all that often, but when it does it's awesome. Reshoevn8r is awesome. The product name is slightly turn of the century for our tastes, but everything else about this magic kick reviver is ... continue reading
