On Nov. 4, All Citizens, a premium, performance-driven menswear brand, provided an answer to this need while cementing its mission of democratizing comfort by introducing a new eco-friendly boxer brief collection. This All Citizens rollout comes in concert with a company-wide rebrand, a new website, and charitable initiatives like the For All Social Mission.

All Citizens’ now offers reinvented Re:Luxe Paradise Pocket Boxer Briefs; an upgraded base layer rebuilt for a sleeker, more minimal appearance. Not only do the briefs come in a modern design with stylish patterns, but the briefs are environmentally conscious as well. All Citizens become one of the first underwear makers to manufacture handsome duds with recycled performance microfiber.

These staples were created to be comfort powerhouses. Re:Luxe Performance Microfiber is moisture-wicking, quick-drying, anti-odor, and soft while providing a 360-degree stretch. All Citizens asserts that the fiber has better color retention in addition to its feather-lightness and durability.

“We spent over a year developing our new Re:Luxe performance fabric so that our products are more sustainable and packed with the same performance features our customers know and love,” Danny Charbonnet, Founder of All Citizens said in a press release. “Performance and sustainability are a powerful combination and the new Re:Luxe fabric delivers on both fronts.”

For Re:Luxe Paradise Pocket Boxer Briefs, this includes a “Paradise Pocket,” an all-encompassing, mesh cradle to prevent unwanted skin contact, stickage, and friction, “Mesh Breath Zones” — micro vents for more airflow and uncompromising ventilation — and grip thighs to prevent underwear ride up and bunching. To add to the ease of access, there’s also a quick-access horizontal fly for a faster, more natural movement and a “Locker Loop” that offer easy hanging in gym lockers, on coat hangers, even on tree branches, should the need arise. Re:Luxe Paradise Pocket Boxer Briefs come in two fits: Standard and athletic.

In addition, All Citizens unveiled a rebranded and updated website that features 3D models and augmented reality to convey the feel of tech products as opposed to simply apparel-wear.

In concert with launching Re:Luxe Paradise Boxer Briefs, All Citizens is unleashing its charitable program, the For All Social Mission, partnering with five charity organizations to democratize and make comfort accessible to all. A portion of limited edition patterned brief sales will be allocated to charitable groups with each purchase.

All Citizens eco-friendly Re:Luxe Paradise boxer briefs are available now for $18/pair at allcitizens.com/collections/the-boxer-brief.

I tested Oakley’s Sphaera sunglasses in 90-degree heat—here’s what surprised me

These Oakley sunglasses made my brutal summer runs actually enjoyable

Oakley Sphaera

I stepped out into the 90+ degree heat for a training run, the world appearing in 4K-like clarity. As I pressed start on my watch and settled into an easy pace, I was also testing Oakley's latest performance eyewear: the Oakley Sphaera sunglasses.
They're a design that blends sport performance with sculptural forms. I evaluated the Sphaera for function and style through summer hill repeats, country drives, and casual settings. While I expected good things from an Oakley design, the Sphaera left me surprised in a few ways.
Oakley Sphaera: Behind the design

Before I tried the sunglasses, I spoke with Nick Garfias, VP of Design at Oakley, to learn more about the thinking behind the Sphaera.
(Note: Interview edited for content and clarity)
The Manual: What was the goal when you started out? What were you trying to create?
Nick Garfias: Obviously, this is a sports frame, and I think in this case, this is an interesting one. We don't just attack a program and say we're going to make a frame for cycling, we're going to make a frame for running.
A lot of what we do is lean into a program or one aspect of a sport, going back and forth between athletes and understanding what their needs are, and taking all that information and putting it into boxes that we find are priorities for this frame.
We asked everyday athletes, and a lot of them had a lot to do with...frames that gave them this feeling of being serious, but not over the top. So we've got a very strong DNA and very sculptural quality to it. But what they were asking for was something that gave them more confidence and not necessarily that aggressive kind of look that we traditionally have.
TM: Oh, a little more subtle.
NG: A little more subtle, yeah. And so when you look at Sphaera, it has a very simplistic continuity across the top. From one end of the stem through the brow to the other side is just one continuous look. The lens itself provides a lot of field of view.
So it's kind of maximizing the left and right field of view and then the lower field of view, which would be as you put the frame on, it's what you're looking through, right?
And the objective for that is that you can put something on, and there's so much aperture or so much lens space that you can't read the edges of the lens. So it feels seamless, and it feels lightweight.
TM: What athletes, from what sports, did you use for the design?
NG: We looked at a lot of runners. We looked at a lot of cyclists. We didn't specifically hone in onto one sport. We even looked at soccer players. A lot of the function was about the aesthetic — and not the aesthetic just to look cool, but the aesthetic of giving that athlete confidence to wear something and feel that they were being taken seriously.
TM: What sets the Sphaera apart from designs from other brands? What makes this better?
NG: We're an optics company, so our lenses are superior. This is a piece of eyewear made to protect you from debris, the sun, all kinds of things. But also, fit and retention are very important. And so, when you put these on, you'll notice it's very weightless. Because the distribution of the tension in it feels like distributed around your head evenly.
Oakley Sphaera specs:
Price: $297
Frame: Lightweight O-Matter
Lens: Prizm Black (11% light transmission)
Size: L (134mm)
According to Oakley, the Sphaera is designed for versatile performance across sports, with features like Prizm™ lens tech, helmet compatibility, front venting, and grippy Unobtainium® components.
