BEAMS is no stranger to working with some of the biggest names in footwear, such as Reebok and Birkenstock, and it’s once again proving it by collaborating with Salomon. Known for their quality performance features and rugged products, Salomon is a go-to for the ultimate hiking or trail shoe. For this new collaboration, BEAMS has taken on one of Salomon’s iconic 2000s-era trail sneakers and given it a modern upgrade exclusive to the pairing. Since you won’t find this colorway anywhere else, it’s bound to be the new must-have outdoor shoe of the season. Utilizing Salomon’s latest footwear technology, this sneaker collaboration is a stylish grab and a practical choice.

The exclusive BEAMS x Salomon ACS + OG

BEAMS and Salomon have produced a new version of Salomon’s ACS + OG sneaker from the 2000s for this new exclusive model. The entire sneaker’s design invokes a steel grey alloy hue in its upper and synthetic overlays for a sleek monochromatic look. Adding to the design are black detailing and yellow accents that contrast color. A mesh upper and rugged outsole that adds to its comfort and practicality. Staple to the design is the brand’s Agile Chassis System, which adds stability and shock absorption. The sneaker will be released via BEAMS’ webstore starting on June 7. An all-around versatile and stylish sneaker, the BEAMS x Salomon ACS + OG sneaker is a must for all those looking for their next trail shoe find. As with previous BEAMS designs, this Salomon silhouette highlights its functional features whilst maintaining a practical look you can use in any season.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists

The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.

Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.

Luminox goes full stealth with a new all-steel Navy SEAL Foundation watch

The blacked-out new release swaps the brand's usual straps for a matching IP Gun steel bracelet.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox built its name on lightweight, strap-bound tool watches. Now, it's trying a slightly different tack.

The Swiss-made, American-founded brand just added a fully blacked-out, all-steel model — the XS.3228.NSF — to its Navy SEAL Foundation 3220 Series, a collaboration that dates back to 2020.

Even If You Don’t Golf, You’ll Want to Wear This New Fabletics x Malbon Collection

New polos, dresses, trousers, and accessories bring streetwear-inspired style to the fairway.

Fashion, Clothing, Glove

‘Tis the season for beach weekends, cookouts, and glorious rounds of golf. If your wardrobe for the links could use a refresh, Fabletics just launched its second collaboration with Malbon. Inspired by the ocean, the collection features green hues and marine motifs. It’s a his-and-hers collection, with polos and trousers alongside dresses and leggings—garments that look as dapper on the greens as they do in the clubhouse dining room.

The partnership unites two companies with reputations as disruptors in the sports apparel space. Founded in 2017, Malbon has built a loyal following by blending golf apparel with streetwear, fashion, and art. The company has flagship stores in Los Angeles and New York City in addition to a large digital presence. If you follow the PGA Tour, you’ve seen hotshots like Jason Day, Charley Hull, and Sungjae Im sporting Malbon.
