Gift Guide: Les Essentiels Prestwick Slippers

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

Whether we are on vacation or a business trip, hotel slippers are either non existent or a little on the hausfrau side of things. Not cool. That’s why we are digging these travel slippers from our Canadian friends at WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie (You can just call them WANT). These italian boiled wool versions fully zip up for easy packing and storage. We are also keen on the leather sole. These are perfect for the plane too. Retail ($75)

Brooks’ newest performance sneakers is here – and it’s a must-have

Brooks Running releases two new retro sneakers

In the last couple of seasons, sneaker fans have noticed an uptick in brands reaching into the archives for their newest releases. Brands like Nike and Adidas have shown that some of their most popular styles were once relegated to a vault. Now, it's Brooks Running’s turn to showcase some of their retro favorites. For the new season, Brooks is returning two of its favorite sneakers for a flash from the past.

As part of a recent theme from the athletic brand that has seen the return of several designs, the two returns are perfectly in tune with modern trends. With a mix of retro details and modern technology, these sneakers balance style and comfort. Both styles are easy to add to your closet, although the same applies to many of Brooks’ existing products. For fans of archival designs, this Brooks release is one to watch for the summer season.

CLOT and adidas reunite for a Stan Smith surprise

Adidas and CLOT release a fun new Stan Smith

While it seems as if Adidas has recently released all kinds of variations of Samba or Superstar sneaker, the brand has now taken a look at the Stan Smith for its next inspiration. Along with CLOT, a previous collaborator, Adidas has reworked the Stan Smith in a subtle yet statement way. While not much has changed with the sneaker’s silhouette, CLOT’s trendy touch adds a small bit of personality and style to the retro shoe. Much like CLOT’s previous collaboration with Adidas and other brands, the new Stan Smith stays true to the traditional look of the design, with a slight accented twist.
