Known for infusing their handcrafts with fashion, 18 East is ready to add their touch to a new collaboration with Mephisto. Along with the French manufacturer, the New York-based clothing seller has created a new sneaker silhouette that does more than just ‘break the spectrum.’ Functional for streetwear or on the trails, this new sneaker has a fresh design that infuses aspects of your favorite footwear. Meant to add a slower living to your lifestyle, this sneaker is a prime example of what 18 East looks to achieve in the style space. Unlike others, the brand looks to design intentional creations that can fill a spot in your wardrobe. This new sneaker is a must for any wardrobe, along with Mephisto’s knack for crafting quality footwear. 

18 East x Mephisto Break Spectrum

Crafted with Italian full-grain leather and rough-out suede, the new 18 East and Mephisto sneaker is available in neutral and chic colors. Made in France, the shoe features SOFT-AIR midsoles that help to reduce shock in each step. The design’s memory foam insole and heavy-duty lug pattern add extra cushion and all-terrain grip. Co-branded midfoot tags and an antique brass D-ring speed lacing system provide the style and security all users need. This low-top design comes in two colorways: a white/gray combination and a brown/green mix aptly nicknamed ‘Beef and Broc.’ Available via 18 East’s webstore, these sneakers retail for $414 and are bound to sell out quickly. While the sneaker doesn’t stray from your typical, everyday sneaker, the features and design allow it to become a special piece you can wear anywhere.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
