Wow. What can we say about Buck Mason? The all-American-made brand is like a mash-up of Netflix and Warby Parker – but for your wardrobe. The premise behind Erik Schnakenberg and Sasha Koehn’s brainchild – men hate shopping for clothes (in the traditional sense) – so why do it?

Well guys, Schnakenberg and Koehn are here to make it easier for you. Both entrpreneurs are very savvy, with backgrounds in fashion, digital adverstising and technology. They know what they like – and that’s quality. Koehn’s father was a sculptor and Schnakenberg’s a brick mason. Hence the name Buck Mason.

Nike is renowned for its lifestyle sneaker and running shoe collections, however, they’re also taking a dip into the hiking boot sector. In their latest release, Nike unveiled their new hiking boot silhouette, which they’re already doubling down. Before the drop, the shoe brand teased an upcoming new colorway. While there's still some time to wait for the second color combination, the first drop has plenty to talk about. As a neutral hue, Nike’s hiking boot is anything but a regular shoe. Inspired by previous outdoor shoes, this latest edition has everything ready for both nature and city living.

Available in a rich Baroque Brown colorway, the boot is ready for anything with a waterproof leather upper. The shoe also comes with a foam midsole and rubber outsole that provides plenty of stability and comfort to the user. The Cygnal boot’s rubber outsole is rugged enough to withstand any terrain, even in the city. Thick padding on the tongue and collar finish the look and give the boot a tough exterior. The boot also comes with double laces, giving wearers the ability to choose the laces that best match their style.

Eton turns the page with debut knit collection

Sweaters and long sleeve polos signal brand expansion

Brands are known for evolving. For many brands, you evolve or you die; no two ways about it. Then there are other brands that don't evolve because they have to in order to survive. The ones that simply don't get complacent, that look at all they have done and say, "What's next?" For Eton, they are a shirt brand that has been around for a century, and they have never had to evolve because they have been at the top of the game seemingly since they opened the doors. From classic dress shirts to casual off-day elegance, Eton has always been the standard others strive to reach. But they are a latter brand, looking to what is next. And the answer to the question is the launch of the Eton knit collection.
An expansion focused on classics

Their introduction into the knit space (no, this isn't what they call your grandmother's craft room) is an extension of what Eton has come to be known for, craftsmanship and attention to detail. They come in three classic cuts, the basic crew knit which is perfect for the day around town, the long sleeve polo which is going to be all the rage this fall, and the quarter-zip which will go perfectly over your dress shirt and tie at the office. They come in a collection of classic and elegant colors: forest green, navy blue, oxblood red, subtle beige, and black. While this is a small introduction into knitwear, it is merely the beginning for Eton as more is expected in subsequent collections.
