Picking up from last year’s collaboration, Aries and Puma are ready to reunite for another stellar and eye-catching design. Blending Puma’s iconic silhouette and Aries’ street-style flair, this duo created a new look for the brand’s Mostro design. With two designs in this new collaboration, the pair’s version of the Mostro silhouette is nothing less than bold. The new Mostro shoes offer a unique take on a nostalgic sneaker using a blend of textures and materials. Available in two heights, this release combines some of the most iconic details of both brands.

When reviving nostalgic models, Puma has had quite a lot of success in recent seasons. In their newest revival, the brand’s collaboration with Aries sees the Mostro silhouette remixed for a modern era. In the first iteration, Aries and Puma take on the Mostro Craft with two new colorways, gray and brown. Crafted with a suede upper and a woven tongue, this sneaker mixes textured materials for an elevated look. Puma’s Formstrip has been remixed for a unique detail along the side. Along with accented perforations, the sneaker also features an embossed ARIES wordmark.

On the other hand, Aries and Puma also debuted the Mostro mid. Like the Mostro Craft, this shoe features a taller height and a perforated black leather upper. Donning an asymmetric zipper with a beaded knot, the sneaker has plenty of unique details to explore. The sneaker also comes with a brown sole for a stylish color contrast. Both models feature Mostro’s traditional spiked rubber soles, which tie together these modern and retro elements. The Mostro Craft sneaker is now available via the Puma webstore for $150, while the Mostro Mid has yet to receive an official release.

Timex revives a 1970s classic with a modern twist in new Bespoke Post collab
A modern interpretation of the Viscount collection
Timex x Bespoke Post

Timex's latest field watch is inspired by a collection of watches known as Viscount, which dates back to the 1970s. It was quite popular in the good old days and was the go-to for the Australian National Railway. This time around, the brand partnered with Bespoke Post to make the watch more stylish and durable, keeping up with the times. While the brand rolled out large models inspired by Viscount in the past few years, the latest addition has a 36 mm casing—the new modern size.

Given that Bespoke Post focuses on outdoor gear, it had a big influence on some of the materials featured on the new watch. Apart from the small casing, the watch is paired with a new Cordura strap, a material that can be easily styled to fit multiple spaces. It can also take on everything that’s thrown its way.

Sneaker-loafers continue to be the trend that keeps on giving. With stellar designs from New Balance, Converse, Reebok, and more, this trend shows no intention of slowing down. Following the trend, Axel Arigato is getting ready to bring this eclectic shoe to the next level. While many of these hybrid shoes take elements from sneakers and loafers, Axel Arigato is adding even more silhouettes into the mix. Considered part slip-on, loafer, and sneaker, the newest mule from the Swedish brand is a one-of-a-kind design. Despite taking elements from a slide, the brand has made it perfectly clear that it’s anything but. With a new campaign called “Not A Slide,” the brand teases the fact that this shoe has no clear definition or box it can be checked under.
