Before Rodman was kicking cameramen and Kobe was flipping out at post-game press conferences, there was John McEnroe. Almost as famous for his ridiculous on-the-court antics as he was for his incredible tennis ability, McEnroe was - at one point in time - the name to beat. This is relevant because around that same ... continue reading
There is a common misconception among men that everything has to match. Some of the best things in life don't even come close to matching and we like them all the more because of it (carpets matching the drapes if you know what we mean). When it comes to shoes, the Onitsuka Tiger X-Calibers (1980's Asics X-Calibers ... continue reading
For a no-frills flask that's perfect to toss in your bag when you're out camping or exploring, turn to Stanley. The classic brand has been crafting solid, well-made food and drink gear since 1913. Their latest flask is the first in the Adventure Series which is aimed at being both essential and rugged. With more grip ... continue reading
It shouldn't come as a shock to you that there's another sneaker collaboration between a well known brand and a designer you've probably never heard of with a ridiculous, nonsensical name. Confusing as these things are, the amount we like them generally tends to be directly proportional to their ludicrousness. Take ... continue reading
When it comes time to take off the loafers, or the brogues, or the saddle shoes, or the oxfords or the wingtips and put on something a little more comfortable, you have a lot of casual footwear options. But we all know that nothing looks or feels better than a pair of gym shoes paired with a quality pair of jeans. ... continue reading
Blue Thunder. Maverick. Goose. And now, Air Vengeance. It sounds like a call-sign from an awesomely bad 80s movie, but it's actually the moniker of Nike's most recently re-released V Series shoe. The Nike Air Vengeance is the most lightweight and therefore most maneuverable shoe in the bunch. Originally released in ... continue reading
We’ve gone through our share of trends when it comes to sneakers. We’ve slapped inflatable pumps on tongues, tricked ourselves into thinking rubber Shox would give us more ups and we’ve deified more basketball players than there are in March Madness. One thing has always remained constant though, we will ... continue reading
When we think of J. Crew we think of classic. They’re like a Manhattan in a sea of Fresh Fruit Caramel Appletinis. So, when they release a new sneaker we know it’s not going to have shocks, air pockets or any other bells and whistles to it - it’s just going to be something straightforward that we are going ... continue reading
The problem with falling in love with concept anything is the fact that it rarely - if ever - gets produced. The Adidas SLVR Concepts are one of the few cases where the fairy tale never has to end. Like the best pair of stretchy pants after a big Thanksgiving dinner, the SLVRs are equipped to stretch in four different ... continue reading
Unless you're intimately involved with a dominatrix, or at a Criss Angel show or Batman, throwing more leather on anything isn't going to spice it up...or so we thought. Taking a page from the Bruce Wayne handbook, New Balance has leatherized a pair of their iconic sneakers. The deluxe upgrade of the iconic M577 model ... continue reading
While we certainly can't dismiss the fact that these shoes aren't exactly what we pictured when we thought of Lava Shoes, in this case it's not a bad thing. This Nike collaboration with renowned menswear guru Steven Alan looks a whole helluva lot better than the steel, iron, gypsy tear boot that we were picturing in ... continue reading
Cards on the table, we really like shoes. We know that's kind of like telling you we like beer, gadgets and scantily clad women, but sometimes it bears repeating. That said, we've been rocking the same style - one of the editors has the same exact pair - Converse Hi tops since high school. In all honestly, we just ... continue reading
There isn't much to say about Asics Onitsuka Tiger sneakers that hasn't already been said, but we'll give you a brief recap. Asics is an iconic shoe line that was formed when Onitsuka Tiger merged with GTO and Jelenk in 1977. What that means to you can be boiled down to iconic Japanese kicks. Lots of Asics have Onitsuka ... continue reading
Exercise doesn't mean you have to look like one of the guys from Jersey Shore. But that also doesn't mean you can't look good in the process. Converse's new Auckland OX running shows are the perfect mix of suede and canvas. They're your standard low top running sneakers with a white rubber sole. Converse mixes it up ... continue reading
We have plenty of room in our lives for multiple things that happen to be very similar. Just look at the iPod and the Zune. Okay, bad example, but if you’re still rocking some New Balance 574’s it doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be well-off also with a pair of Nike MS78 LE’s. Yes, the two sets of shoes are ... continue reading
Comfort and style don't have to be mutually exclusive. We're men. That means we get to let football dictate Sunday plans and wear gym shoes whenever possible. It doesn't mean we have to be uncomfortable whenever we actually put on shoes just because we want to look good. Now, with the New Balance for J. Crew 1400 sneakers ... continue reading
