The footwear, bag and accessories brand, which was founded in 1928, has just launched its first apparel collection, Pinch Apparel, which is inspired by all things Maine–including lobsters hence its name and red crustacean logo.

The first offering, which is currently sold at the brand’s standalone stores and its website, consists of items for men and women. Mostly tops, the men’s selection consists of a zip hoodie in gray or navy ($98), a nautical crew neck striped long sleeve shirt ($88), two variations of a logo-graphic T-shirt ($38), a one-pocket T-shirt in white, gray or navy ($38), a short sleeve polo in solid blue, white or gray or striped heather gray and navy ($68), a Kennedyesque cotton-linen collared shirt in white or light blue ($88) and a navy and white striped stretch swim trunk ($78) that is meant to be a stylish antidote to brash and baggy boardshorts.

A similar selection of Pinch tops is available for women.

In addition, Cole Haan has created new bright and bold colorways for its iconic Pinch Weekender penny loafer model this summer, which features a flexible Grand.OS sole ($78 to $98). The preppy, prismatic footwear assortment includes models made with fabric, twill, canvas or leather in modern-day updates of a shoe that first appeared–and hit it big–on college campuses in the 1950s. The style’s broad color palette ranges from a poppy-pink and chestnut model to a more subdued and traditional black and brown one.

"We're thrilled to partner with Oakley to create this exclusive collection," said Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag, Founder of 100 Thieves. "The HSTN blue light glasses have been essential for staying locked in longer while on stream, and our Radar EV sunglasses are my go-to on the golf course."  The new Oakley x 100 Thieves collection also includes a custom-branded micro bag, box sleeve, and zippered hard case, providing a complete 100 Thieves experience.

With the New Balance 1000 silhouette serving as the base, this new design sees this retro sneaker get a few Y2K-inspired upgrades. The shoe strongly resembles the early 2000s sneakers that took over the trends using white mesh upper construction and metallic silver overlays. The pair has also opted for bold orange accents to highlight the shoe’s cobranding details, adding a pop of color. The accent color is also used throughout the sneaker on the eyelets and in parts of the midsole. Finishing the bottom section of the shoe is a white midsole and black rubber outsole. While the sneaker is already available via thisisneverthat’s website, the shoe will see a global release on New Balance’s web store on March 7. Crafted with nostalgic colors and construction, this sneaker is the ultimate retro-inspired footwear option to accent your athleisure looks.
