The 10 Best Style Releases of the Week

There’s no shortage of new goods rolling out of the sewing factories and onto shelves each week. Out of all the new style releases that came across our desks this week, these are the best things we saw.

Converse Patchwork Chuck 70 Sneakers

Re-issuing an archival sneaker silhouette from the 1970s using upgraded materials was probably one of the best decisions Converse has made in years. These patchwork joints might be the next.

3sixteen x Schott Jackets

A double header from specialty denim brand 3sixteen and heritage outerwear label Schott, we couldn’t pick just one.

Jacques Marie Mage White Light Sunglasses

We’re fans of Velvet Underground and we’re fans of Jacques Marie Mage, so we’re definitely fans of these sunglasses.

J.Crew Organic Cotton Half-Zip Sweater

Long live the half-zip sweater! This is by no means a style that’s hot off the factory floor, but this one’s done in organic cotton, just in time for spring.

Persol Titanium Collection

Persol’s Titanium Collection looks as good as we thought it was gonna. Made in Japan featuring titanium single-piece temples with Guilloche engraving, it’s the only thing allowed to touch my face (other those John Cale-inspired sunnies).

Salomon XT-4 Advanced

The latest season of French shoe brand Salomon has brought back its popular kicks with proprietary quicklace systems and Agile Chassis Systems for superior stability. Now, they comes with graphics.

Topman Corduroy Zip Overshirt

More zippered shirts in 2020.

Eastman Leather Clothing Tanker Boots

When Eastman Leather Company and John Lofgren come together, it’s not for nothing. These boots are reproductions of WWII boots originally designed with General Patton and are maybe just as rare.

Saman Amel Silk-Blend Shirt

It’s a polo shirt. It’s a cardigan. It’s everything.

Noon Goons Throttle Jeans

The world has enough olive drab fatigue pants and off-white painter’s pants. Noon Goons’ gives you what you really want with these all-cotton bottle green painters pants.

The Surprising New Style Trend of 2020

Originally hugging the waists of countless hikers and backpackers, the fanny pack entered the fashion zeitgeist, migrating to the shoulders of stylish sets, slung across the body. People called them shoulder bags, cross-body bags, saccoches, side bags, even messenger bags. They were all variations on a theme, each with their slight differences. The worst was undoubtedly ‘murse’, an unnecessary portmanteau akin to metrosexual, used as a veil for phobias at worse and a dated term at best. Now, we’re fully where we need to be and we’re calling a spade a spade. Read the Story

Converse Renew Is Making Chuck Taylors out of Recycled Materials

When it comes to iconic sneakers, there are few as legendary as the Converse Chuck Taylor. They might have originally been named for an American tennis player from a handful of decades ago, but Chucks…

Converse All-Star Pro BB

We played high school basketball in Converse Pro Leather high-tops in red on white leather. We loved those shoes, and so did just about anyone else who spent time on the court in a pair…

Converse Chuck Taylor 70 Gore-Tex

Your favorite kicks brand has partnered with GORE-TEX to bring a Chuck Taylor ‘70 pack for the winter season. We don’t need to tell you that Chucks are one of the staples style staples for men and women alike. Yet for all its casual flair, however, there’s one very unfortunate con. They easily get wet, even when there’s just a light drizzle. With the Chuck 70 GORE-TEX collection, this will no longer be a problem.

Each shoe features the same silhouette as before. However, the entire lineup comes with upgrades this time around, especially with regards to outdoor durability. Now, they boast completely waterproof GORE-TEX lining so you can step onto puddles without worrying about getting them too wet or too soggy. But why stop there, Converse though. The company also threw in a gusseted tongue on each shoe to improve their water-resistance even further. That makes these kicks the perfect companion for the forthcoming rainy season.

All the featured models also have an Ortholite insert that ensures they’re super comfortable to wear all-day, and you can choose between various colorways when they ship this October, including black, pink, orange, and many others. Each pair costs $140. That’s certainly a small price to pay to get one of the most iconic style pieces around, now with amped durability and waterproofing. The Chuck 70 GORE-TEX strikes the perfect balance between classic, reliable, and robust, and now you don’t have to worry about wearing them outside when it’s raining.
