Let’s face it: Mondays are typically everyone’s least favorite day. However, when it comes to footwear, it might just become your favorite leather sneaker. Thanks to the fashion house Balenciaga, Mondays are getting a brand new meaning and full of luxury. Balenciaga is releasing its latest design, Mondays, as part of its continued growth of lifestyle sneakers. The Monday shoe adds luxury to your everyday outfit with its unique brand concept and premium materials. While the sneaker might not solve all of your Monday blues, it’s certainly one way to make the day chicer. Far from Balenciaga’s previous releases, the Monday shoes are closer to your typical chunky sneaker yet still have the renowned brand’s touch.

Balenciaga has crafted black and white options for their new Monday shoes using cowskin and polyester materials. Using a futuristic and bulky silhouette, the Monday shoe incorporates features from traditional athletic shoes to create a stylish and technical lifestyle sneaker. Featuring raw edges, visible stitching, and 3B sports icon artwork, this sneaker is impactful yet sleek in its statement. While Balenciaga has previously made waves with bold sneaker choices, the Monday shoe makes a bigger impact by letting its craftsmanship and details do the talking. Inside the shoe is a foam insole that still delivers the expected quality you seek in your everyday shoe. Available via Balenciaga’s web store for $995, the Monday shoe is a subdued choice for the luxury house. The Monday shoe utilizes cutting-edge details and silhouettes to create a futuristic shoe that can easily earn a spot in your wardrobe for many seasons.

Adopt your Wimbledon Whites with these stellar summer pieces
Summer is the time for the all white ensemble, take your lead from the best of the best on the court
Adult, Male, Man

The Wimbledon Championships are the oldest of the four Grand Slam tournaments. They have been around since the late 1800s, and if you know anything about events that old, they are steeped in customs and traditions. While I am a huge fan of customs and traditions, I have always thought it odd when players of high-octane sports wear white. It feels like keeping sweat stains would be an utter nightmare. Having said that, Wimbledon requires all participants to wear white. It is what has come to be called the Wimbledon Whites. Now, I am also a huge fan of dressing the part, so I will confess to being guilty of planning an all-white ensemble just in case I ever land an invite to the most prestigious tennis match in the world. Now, if you are cooler than I and have already landed an invite to the tournament, then I have put together the elements of the perfect Wimbledon look.

Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh
How long should you wear your underwear? An expert gives us insight.
Clothing, Undershirt, Adult

I am on an underwear kick right now. I can't help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don't think about it often (hopefully you are a little bit after reading my last article with David), I have discovered we actually DO think about it in some ways. We just need to change how we think about it. Ladies, go ahead, ask your guy what underwear he is wearing right now. There will be two answers. 1 - "No clue, what did you buy me?" 2 - "My favorites." We're weird about it. We all have at least one pair we wear all the time. It is our favorite pair. Then we have the others, the ones that are just the day-to-day. And finally, we have the ones we never want to wear, but it's a laundry emergency, so we must. In all likelihood, this pair has been with us since Mom bought them for us. That's right, yeeeeeeeears ago.

Fellas, it's gross. I often think about a movie quote from Smokin' Aces, by the always-great Jeremy Piven. "There is not a laundry detergent or dry cleaning product known to man that will get that out. Suffice it to say, some sh*t, don't wash out." There is a moment in time when your underwear is done for, beyond saving. But, when do you know when to give up on old faithful? David and I hashed it out.
