Look, I love a chunky shoe. When it comes to a sole, the bigger the better for me. And adding On’s performance technology only heightens my enthusiasm for the new Cloudmonster running and training shoe. What we’re seeing in the shoe world is a lessening of rigid aesthetics for a…
Design firm Forpeople’s collaboration with Kettler has done to home exercise equipment what Smeg did to kitchen appliances. By redefining the aesthetics of commonplace products, both brands were able to add a little bit of warmth and kitsch to their designs. A compact stationary bike with soft curves and homey…
The humble sock. Often one of the first things we put on in the morning and one of the last items to be replaced in our wardrobe. Unless there’s a hole in the toe or it’s Christmas and you have a present from your Aunt Mildred, how often are you…
Since 1989 John Derian has excelled at creating a bygone world of artisanal homewares. For me, his East Village shop is a perennial stop on my trips to the city. Because of this, I’m forever grateful to the fashion gods for putting Derian on Todd Snyder’s radar. Their collaboration has…
Todd Snyder sits at the helm of modern American menswear and for good reason. Preppy but not pretentious, urban and urbane, Snyder’s eye for design sits at the crossroads of Ivy League and Midtown. Who better, then, to inject a bit of city-going to L.L. Bean? Their collection, called “Maine-ah”…
Of the four times I’ve been hiking (all in Southern California, because it’s just kind of what you do), I obstinately wore tennis shoes. I was never one for the more utilitarian hiking boots. Bulky and uncomfortable, they seemed in direct opposition to the ease and familiarity of my favorite…
I love a bonfire and it’s nearly Bonfire Season™ here in Pennsylvania. But, there’s something that breaks the peacefulness of sitting around a fire, bullshitting with friends. It’s when you run out of cold drinks. Yes, the house is a mere 200 yards away, but who wants to get up…
Something was in the water in the mid-20th Century when Brits created both the Land Rover and James Bond. Have there ever been two things on this earth more handsome or debonair? Not that I can think of. To celebrate 60 years of Bond (James Bond), Land Rover has created…
It may be difficult to reinvent the wheel, but I’d argue it’s even tougher to reinvent the watch. I mean, how much more can you change on a watch face? Well, apparently, a lot. With the extreme design limitation of building the world’s thinnest mechanical watch, Bulgari engineered a watch…
You read it here first: Dockers are cool again. Looking back at the brand’s khaki heritage, Dockers partners with global research and curation project, Transnomadica on a line of limited-edition apparel. Building consciously constructed, gender-neutral garments in muted beiges and whites, this Dockers collab has the feel of a high-fashion…
You may know Joshua Glenn and Rob Walker from their project, Significant Objects, an experiment tying fiction work to thrift store finds. Glenn and Walker now turn their attention to nonfiction in short memoirs. Coupling illustrators and writers, Lost Objects is a look at fifty objects that have a special…
Since I was 22 I have exclusively owned Mercedes. I’m a bit loyal. So when I saw the EQ Formula E Team Silver Arrows eBike, I was definitely excited. It has all of the design elements of a Benz without any of the bulk. An aluminum frame makes this eBike…
When I was a kid, I thought the height of gourmet dining was a tray of Totino’s pizza rolls straight from the microwave. My eating habits have developed a bit since then, but the foundation for my love of pizza began there. The Solo Stove Pi Pizza Oven is exactly…
Buck Mason makes great clothes. That’s just a fact. But what’s even more impressive is how they continue to source new fabrics to elevate their brand and offer new takes on old faves. For instance, just look at their newly released Japanese Cotton Sateen line. This fabric is at once…
Not to get all dark on you, but it may be time to start thinking of what’s going to be on-trend when you’re hiding in your bunker one day. My bet’s on Vollebak’s Off Grid Collection. This raincoat and pants combo would be ideal for any weather conditions while still…
