With a multi-year relationship under their belt, adidas and BAPE are reuniting for a Superstar collaboration that exudes statement. In the past, adidas has utilized the Superstar sneaker as a regular in their collaborations with designers and brands like NEIGHBORHOOD and Wales Bonner, redesigning it. Like the previous partnerships, the BAPE x adidas design takes on the shoe’s traditional shape without remixing any original look. Along with the shoes, the pair is releasing an accompanying apparel range, including items like a co-branded hoodie, socks, hat, and socks. Depending on your style, this collaboration has produced two new colorways for the Superstar sneaker that will satisfy any adidas dresser.

Check out BAPE x adidas SSTR V

Available in two new colorways, the BAPE x adidas Superstar sneaker is not your average shoe. Crafted with synthetic and textile uppers, this sneaker comes in Cloud White/Core Black/Off White and Blue/Cloud White/Off White colorways. Featuring the BAPE STA motif on the right panel of the shoe, while the iconic Three Stripes are placed on the left. An off-white sole and camo-embossed camo pattern on the base of the upper complete the shoe’s design. While subtle, the camo-embossed pattern adds plenty of texture and dimension to an enticing shoe. Both blue and white colorways will be available via the BAPE and adidas web stores on April 5 and will retail $160 each. While there isn’t much need to reimagine the 2000s era sneaker silhouette, the play of colorways and motifs allow for a fresher look that embodies this partnership.

Once in a while, a watch brand will remind people that a chronograph can be a serious technical instrument and a completely fun flex at once. That's what Zenith's latest move is, and it's a doozy.

The Le Locle-based maison has added two new interpretations of its DEFY Extreme: the Ultraviolet and the Lapis Lazuli II.

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Amberjack.

Amberjack's Axis sneaker is here and it's been quietly building a following in the dress-casual sneaker category for a good reason. At $185, it sits at a price point that genuinely undercuts the comparable luxury options. With premium build, value, and proprietary comfort tech, the Axis changes what a daily-wear shoe looks and feels like and delivers a wear experience that mass-market $100 sneakers and $400 designer pairs both struggle to replicate.

The 5 suit brands you need to know to build your first suit wardrobe: Including the first aspirational one

Building a suit wardrobe starts with the brands you can trust

Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build. High quality comes with high prices. However, it comes with longevity, so it means you don't have to replace it as often, saving money in the long run. So, what kind of man do you want to be? Hopefully one that wears men's suits.

No matter what man, message, budget, or shopping frequency you choose, a good suit wardrobe will need to be a part of it. So, where do you go? How do you start? Here are the five brands to trust to get started. No Tom Ford, Brioni, giant fashion houses here. These are the five suits for the man starting out. And one for the man aspiring to the next step. The first four, you can grab your first quality suit for around the $1,000 mark. The aspirational one will be your first custom, so it will be a bit more.
