New Balance, Kith, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Team Up on a 988 Revamp

When one thinks of Frank Lloyd Wright, he or she probably doesn’t immediately think of footwear. Well, Kith and New Balance may just change your mind. This limited release of a new 998 colorway was designed between three giants of their individual industry to create a fantastic collab that only enhances each brand and doesn’t dilute.

Mixing a midcentury color palette in shades of red, cream, olive, and apricot on the backdrop of the classic 998, we get an updated sneaker with a tonally Springy feel, perfect for wearing the next time you visit one of Wright’s houses available to tour across the US.

The shoes are available now exclusively though the Kith app, while the remaining stock will be available to purchase at the UNESCO World Heritage site Taliesin West in Arizona.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of

Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
