It’s no secret that 2024 was a big year for adidas’ Samba sneakers. The low-top and slim sneaker became the go-to shoe for everyday style and its popularity brought many remixes and variations. As Samba became more popular, adidas slowly transformed the silhouette via numerous collaborations throughout the year. While the original Samba silhouette isn’t heading anywhere anytime soon, adidas is already working hard to reenvision its famed sneaker for the new year. Looking to replicate this fame, adidas recently announced the reissuing of one of their archival Samba silhouettes, which adds a bit more volume to the narrow design. Although this Samba sneaker touts a different style than its original counterpart, it’s an updated silhouette that adds plenty of life to the hit shoe. 

Make way for the Samba 62

In the Samba 62, adidas has added some width to the silhouette with a dual-toned outsole and narrow upper. With a similar look to a retro running shoe, the Samba 62 is a unique archival design from the Samba collection. The Samba 62 is crafted with a sleek leather upper with the inclusion of suede on the toe box. The brand’s iconic three stripes find their way along the side, next to an ‘adidas Samba’ logo in gold lettering. Unlike other Samba variations, this sneaker includes a pull tab along the heel and a lower midsole. Also gone is the traditional gum rubber, which has been replaced with foam. Expected to hit adidas’ CONFIRMED app and select retailers on January 23 for $140, the new Samba 62 is the perfect continuation of an iconic sneaker silhouette.

A DECADE of &SONS chronicled in a new collection
&SONS

A decade ago, Phil James had a problem. He couldn’t find anything he wanted to wear on the clothing racks. There were big names everywhere in 2016. Names that had been generational legends for years. But, no matter how hard he looked, he just couldn’t find the clothing he truly wanted to wear. So, he decided to do what any rational person would do when they have nothing to wear: He started his own business. &SONS was born, and after ten years of providing some of the best British workwear, DECADE is a collection that celebrates what he and his team have done on their journey.

I have always been drawn to the marketing side of the brand. It makes sense; James has experience in his career that predates &SONS, as a marketing photographer. So, no wonder all the images looked amazing. Noe, the new collection looks back on that experience and the rising name he has built.

Luminox adds a new chronograph to the Carbon Seal Series
Luminox

Luminox began a long-standing relationship with one of the most elite special forces teams in the world in 1992 when they began making tactical watches for the Navy SEALs. Ever since, they have been the brand on the front lines (or behind them is probably the more appropriate statement) of all of the major conflicts across the globe. The team at Luminox elevated the SEAL watches with the Master Carbon SEAL collection which uses a stronger version of the brand’s CARBONOX. A long-bar carbon fiber compound three times lighter than titanium and twice as strong as standard CARBONOX. They are deepening the collection with a new chronograph, the new 3880.

“The connection to the Navy SEALs is both a legacy and a responsibility. From the very beginning, our watches have been designed to perform under the toughest conditions. That expectation continues to shape everything we do—not only for SEAL teams, but also for adventurers around the world who rely on their gear when pushing their limits.” – Pierrick Marcoux, Group Product Director at Luminox

Hockerty is prepping us for the weather changes with their new tech fabrics
Hockerty

Wearing a suit is about putting your best foot forward. It is about walking into a room and everyone knowing before they ever speak to you that you are the one they need. The guy for the job. The trustworthy man. The one who deserves the respect without demanding it. It is the whole purpose of dressing for success. It is the reason that your first impression is so important. So, what happens when your image is ruined by things outside your control? Do you lose the job? Is your trustworthiness in question? What happens to the respect? It is better not to find out. Prepare yourself.

So, of course you can wear an umbrella to protect you from the rain. But that doesn’t protect you from the guy spilling his coffee on you. It doesn’t protect you from the car splashing you as it drives by. Instead, you need to invest in tech fabric. The kind moisture doesn’t soak into, but rolls off. That is where Hockerty’s new collection comes in. The tech fabrics they now offer are for the guy on the move.
