Not every day do you see a high fashion powerhouse partner with a practical and well-known household brand. However, not one to follow the crowd, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and Blundstone have joined forces to create a new design that’s surprisingly timeless and comfortable. While many high fashion brands tend to be bold and statement, the following collaborative design is an ideal shoe for daily use. By meshing sleekness and comfort, the new release is a valuable investment for those looking to refine their everyday. With zero fuss, the new COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x Blundstone shoe is a universal option that elevates any wardrobe or occasion.

Meet the #2381 All-Terrain Clog

Resembling a traditional clog, the #2381 All-Terrain Clog is an easy slip-on shoe that boasts luxury and practical features. Crafted with a striped footbed and waterproof leather uppers, the shoe’s overall design mimics those typically worn by chefs in high-impact kitchens. A Vibram sole adds durability and comfort to the shoes, ensuring your feet remain safe and protected in or out of the kitchen. With a subtle embossed logo on the uppers, this clog is shockingly simple in design, making it stand out even more against COMME des GARÇONS HOMME’s regular offerings. Fans of the chef-inspired clogs looking to grab a pair can find them at selected retailers such as COMME des GARÇONS’s NYC store and Dover Street Market. With only 500 pieces available, there’s no doubt this clog will sell out soon. Although its chef clog appearance may deter some, the simpleness and durability of the clog make for the perfect everyday slipper that will withstand any daily routine.

A neon New Balance sneaker is here – and it’s as bold as you would expect

New Balance releases neon sneaker

In the past, New Balance has experimented with both colorful and minimalist designs. While a few of their last sneakers have introduced pops of colors throughout, none have had quite the colorful palette as their newest release. Perfectly apt for the future summer season, the most recent New Balance release is not just full of color but a bold kaleidoscope of color. Infusing neon hues throughout the sneaker, this shoe is possibly one of the brand’s brightest. Although the unique colorway captures the eye, the performance features continue to deliver. Fully enriched in 2000s design, this lifestyle sneaker is a flashy, maximalist shoe ready to take over. Whether you need a comfy and statement shoe to run errands or go on walks, this sneaker does all that and more.
Shine bright with New Balance 740 “Neon Nights”

Aptly named “Neon Nights”, the newest New Balance sneaker is a bold color palette waiting to be worn. Crafted with a ‘Concord Grape’ mesh base, the sneaker takes shape with ‘Purple Fuchsia’ forefoot overlays accenting the vibrant tone. To add even more pop of color, the shoe has “Sun Glow’ yellow accents on the tongue tag, New Balance logos, and the front outsole. Blue and silver tones take over the quarter and heel, while an orange midsole brightens the design even more. Features like the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole ensure that users look great and feel comfortable and stable. Available via the New Balance web store, the ‘Neon Nights’ sneaker retails for $109. Although the maximalist and vibrancy of the sneaker isn’t for everyone, this bold design is ready to be worn and seen in any scenario.

INVINCIBLE x On’s latest partnership is perfectly deconstructed

While no stranger to collaborations, it’s not often that athletic company On revamps its iconic silhouettes. However, in their latest collaboration with Taiwanese streetwear label INVINCIBLE, the brand is giving one of their iconic shoes a new subtle upgrade. Adding some of INVINCIBLE’s street-style inspired touches, ON’s clean and minimalist silhouette has received some extra edge. While keeping some of the Swiss brand’s traditional aspects, this new collaborative design is a low-key mixture of both brands that appeals to all runners. With the style and ease that embodies On, this running shoe gives faithful fans an extra dose of flair.
INVINCIBLE x On Cloudmonster 2 “Deconstructed Perfection”

Using On’s Cloudmonster 2 as a base for the design, the new collaboration gets its inspiration from deconstruction. Using a multi-layer upper construction with subtle contrasts and textures, the shoe's design is still clean and simple with a slight touch of style. Touches of brown serve as pops of color throughout the shoe to offset the off-white color of the design. While the exterior saw subtle style upgrades, the technical and performance characteristics remain true to On’s brand. Using the brand’s biggest CloudTec midsole, this design contains the brand’s maximum amount of cushioning and energy return. A nylon-blend Speedboard helps aid in the design’s impact absorption and landing.
