adidas

If you’re a frequent hiker, explorer, or outdoorsman, you’ve gone through your fair share of footwear. For that reason, you can never have enough hiking shoes. Backups for your backups are always good to have unless you don’t have any at all. Then, well, you’ll need some. Either way, adidas has you covered today with an excellent Amazon deal. The adidas men’s Terrex Free Hiker 2.0 sneakers are $80 off, down to $120 instead of their usual $200. They’re built for all-day outdoor adventures, with performance features that will improve your experience like step-in stability, an EVA stabilization frame, and BOOST energy capsules — more on that below. This deal won’t last long if you’re interested and there are a couple of styles on sale right now.

Why shop these adidas Men’s Terrex Free Hiker 2.0 sneakers for off-trail hiking?

Anyone looking for a reliable and solid pair of hiking shoes would certainly be happy with these. They’re comfortable, which is perhaps the most important point you could make, but also flexible and supportive. That support comes in the form of proprietary technology from adidas. For example, the EVA stabilization frame provides a stable footbed regardless of terrain. Moreover, the adidas BOOST energy capsules give your feet extra power and momentum by offering a springy return.

They also feature step-in stability with the frame and external heel clip, and a continental rubber outsole that offers excellent traction while protecting your feet from wet and dry elements. An adaptive stretch knit collar hugs the ankle to prevent dirt and debris from sneaking its way into the shoe. A couple of styles are available, like black and beige, or carbon and black, along with sizes ranging from men’s 6 up to men’s 14.

What you’ll really want to know, however, is how they hold up. They were made for the great outdoors, after all. The answer is very good, whether on the trail or off. Even rocky, challenging terrain is no match for these mid-top hiking shoes.

But then there’s the price. Normally $200 they’re on sale today for $120, which saves you $80. That is a great deal that you cannot beat for such a reliable pair of hiking shoes.

Biver releases the Carillon Tourbillon: A masterpiece of haute horology
Where fine watchmaking meets jewelry art: Biver's ruby-adorned Carillon Tourbillon
The Carillon Tourbillon Desert Rose in rose gold.

Biver has yet again gone above and beyond to release a timepiece that perfectly melds functionality and artistry in its singular Carillon Tourbillon Desert Rose. An exceptional watch that recalibrates the luxury watch market, it features rose gold, mother-of-pearl, and rubies in a great union of stunning craftsmanship. 
A parade of precious metals
A beautiful 18K rose gold case and bracelet act as a gorgeous backdrop to the piece de resistance: a mother-of-pearl dial that glows like gleaming sunlight. Draping this canvas are ruby hour markers that gleam as their scarlet color is intensified by the guilloché center's intricate textures. With more than five decades in the business, the Biver family's reputation of crafting immaculate timepieces is well known by watch enthusiasts -- each detail has been intricately crafted to create a visual ambiance, which is evident from the faceted bracelet to the symmetrical layout. 
The technical and artistic ambiance converge 
Underneath the surface of its beautiful exterior lies mechanical features that are just as impressive. The platinum micro-rotor Caliber JCB-001-B ensures precision timekeeping with a 3Hz frequency and 72-hour power reserve, visible through the anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Biver's reputation for technical excellence is second to none, and the tourbillon complication is presented with elegant restraint, allowing the materials to stand out.
The Biver guarantee
Currently retailing for $670,000, each Carillon Tourbillon Desert Rose comes with a 4-year warranty and the prestigious JCB seal, certifying the highest standards of Swiss watchmaking. With a water resistance of up to 50 meters, this timepiece is wearable art and a celebration of beauty and human ingenuity.

Men’s spring style tips: The camp collar is the look of the spring
A classic shirt for impeccable spring style
Frank And Oak Cam Collar floral

Spring is a time when men will start to adapt their wardrobes from the cold weather of the winter to the warm styles of the summer. Different shirts become staples as the seasons go, and some stand the test of time. The other day, I watched Thunderball for the 20th time (c'mon, when is it not a good time to watch James Bond???) and noticed our beloved spy wearing a striking blue short-sleeved button-up with a wide collar. That got my brain going, and I started looking into that type of shirt, called the camp collar (alternatively called the camp shirt, cabana shirt, or cabin shirt).

Of course, while Bond will always be my favorite example, I started seeing the camp collars everywhere once they were in my head. Tony Soprano wore them throughout The Sopranos, Sheriff Jim Hopper wore them in Stranger Things, and countless other examples popped up in my head as I thought about them. As I start considering men's spring fashion of 2025, I can't think of a better addition.
