Cole Haan and JackThreads bring you the shoes of the summer

cole haan and jackthreads bring you the shoes of summer
Inspired by the nonstop pulse of summer, popular men’s style destination JackThreads teamed up with the shoe designers at Cole Haan to create the Capsule Collection, a line of shoes designed for all facets of a man’s life.

For David Maddocks, the CMO and GM of Business Development at Cole Haan, the collection is a perfect compliment to the busy days of summer, when men are rushing from the office to after work drinks to a formal party.

Maddocks remarked that designers were able to echo this hectic rhythm by “creating versatile styles that are not only timeless, but interchangeable for any occasion.”

“We want our guy to be able to go from work to play seamlessly,” he added. “We want them to have a strong foundation of key pieces that will not only keep him fashionable but cover all of his functional needs.”

This fashionable and functional aesthetic manifests in a trio of shoes that marry timeless Cole Haan silhouettes with sport-forward performance technology: the ZeroGrand Oxford No Stitch (pictured below in red, $270), the GrandPro Tennis (pictured in white, $160) and the Pinch Weekender (pictured in blue, $100).

While the three shoes fill different voids in a man’s wardrobe (the Oxford is the perfect work-to-play shoe, while the Tennis and Weekender are ideal options for casual wear), they all received a summer face lift with cushioned gum rubber soles, added arch support and suede details. The resulting designs are sleek, yet playful, classic, yet undeniably modern and fresh.

Though this marks their first collaboration, Maddocks says the partnership between Cole Haan and JackThreads worked well because of both brands’ dedication to supplying their customers with excellent products.

“We always look to evolve with another brand that shares our same deep appreciation and respect for premium craftsmanship, superior quality, timeless style and of course, innovation,” he commented. “So the partnership with JackThreads was a natural fit!”

The 10 best men’s workout shirts to help you get fit in 2023

There are multiple things to consider when purchasing new workout apparel. You want to make sure you do your due diligence beforehand. When looking for the optimal workout shirt, functionality often takes precedence over style, for most men. After all, a minimalist cotton t-shirt is ideal, but it won't look (or smell) so great after an hour-long workout, especially if your working out, outdoors. That's why, in the past decade, some of our favorite activewear brands like Lululemon, Vuori, and Under Armour have developed breathable fabrics with moisture-wicking and odor-fighting technology that are now practically must-haves for any exercise gear, especially when it comes to making high-quality shirts.

That being said, not all workout tops are created equal. When it comes to finding the right workout fit, make sure it doesn't feel too tight or baggy around your underarms, your shoulders, or across your chest, i.e., the areas you exercise most. We sifted through some of the most popular brands to select the best workout shirts that are as practical as they are fashionable. Here are our top picks for the best men's workout shirts of 2023.

Every holiday has its own traditions and customs. And St. Patrick's Day is no different.
