Ball and Buck Drops Spring & Summer 2017 Collection

For rugged gear that brings the heritage of the outdoors with the functionality needed for warm weather, the Ball and Buck Spring/Summer 2017 collection is here.

The new offering takes tried-and-true silhouettes from Ball and Buck — including its rugged Hunter’s Shirt and its easy-going, versatile Scout Shirt — and updates them with the sort of functional technology you might find in your favorite gym gear.

The brand says its emphasis is on “creating the highest-quality goods” is matched only by its “commitment to quality and authenticity,” and the specs on the Ball and Buck Spring and Summer 2017 collection back up that approach handsomely. For a brand with outdoor roots and field functionality in mind, it’s a nuanced approach that even the biggest city slicker will love.

The Hunter’s Shirt is offered in a CoolMax Oxford silhouette, just the right way to upgrade your classic Oxford while staying cool and sharp when it finally does heat up. It’s easily wearable with your favorite pair of dark denim or slim chinos and crisp spring sneakers. And the Scout Shirt is another item that can be put to the test either at the office or on that much-loved first spring bar crawl with relative ease — moisture-wicking technology helps out with that.

On the accessories front, the brand taps into its array of rugged, heritage-inspired designs for a covetable weekender bag made with hearty duck cotton and lined in camo. It’s the perfect bag to take with you the next time you dress for travel. And rest assured that even the brand’s shorts are geared to keep you going — they’re made with water-repellent Nylon Taslan fabric for easy stretch and durability.

It’s a head-to-toe collection that makes sense for the guy on the go — even if you’re only commuting through the city and not taking on the great outdoors.

Although Saucony has recently released its premium footwear line, that doesn’t mean the brand has lost touch with one of its favorite retailers. To celebrate the release of a new Triumph design, Saucony has partnered with Nordstrom for an exclusive sneaker that embodies the brand’s chic, modern, and classic style. Created by New York creator Alex Dymond, this new iteration stays true to the Triumph look while adding a few details that help it stand out from the rest. Along with a 30-second video, the new release introduces a global campaign that celebrates running together and the community the sport fosters. Under the name “Run As One,” the brand looks to establish itself as more than an athletic brand, but also as a point of connection for people to come together.

Everyone from New Balance to Converse has taken part in the hybrid trend, with their respective versions of a sneaker-loafer. While the initial release of this eclectic design was met with some divisive opinions, more brands are embracing the hybrid trend. This time around, Engineered Garments and Reebok are collaborating on their take on the trend that combines elements of a Brogue shoe with Reebok’s Instapump Fury silhouette. While each brand has made major efforts in eye-catching collaborations in the past, this new design is unlike anything either has released. The third installment in their collaboration, this new sneaker is one of their most unique, combining its retro look with formal dress shoe accents. Dropping in two colorways, this new shoe dresses up your favorite rugged Reebok sneaker in a way that can’t be duplicated.
