Conzul Athletic Wear Subscription Box Takes the Hassle Out of Buying New Gym Clothes

Workout clothes. Athletic Wear. Active wear. Athleisure. All synonyms for what, if distilled down to their most basic truth, are just gym clothes.

Here’s the thing with gym clothes, though: They are, obviously, designed to be worn at the gym or while working out, and as such, this particular genre of clothing suffers more than your average everyday t-shirt. From repetitive movements that degrade fibers and fabric to the constant drip of sweat from your swole bod, most gym clothes don’t and won’t last very long. And maybe that’s a good thing–after all, who wants to wear a compression shirt that you’ve used to run four miles in every other day for the past four years? Hopefully, not you.

But buying new gym clothes can be a bit of a chore and a just a bit discombobulating. Not only is new athletic wear slightly expensive (especially for something that you’re not wearing to impress), it never seems to last long enough to have gotten your money’s worth and there are now about three hundred different types of gym clothes out there. From stretch leggings to compression shirts to gold-infused shorts, the sheer variety of athletic wear can put any man’s brain into overload. Enter Conzul.

Conzul is the direct-to-consumer gym clothes and athletic wear subscription box that will bring new, inexpensive, but high-quality workout clothes directly to your door. It’s a pretty simple system: Just pick your frequency of arrival (monthly or quarterly), the amount of items you want (currently there are three different items per box, but will expand to five in 2018), choose your style (basic or designer), then your size and body-build. And that’s it. After that Conzul will send your new gym clothes at your chosen interval until you decide to cancel.

I received my box of Conzul gym clothes and athletic wear a few weeks ago and have had a chance to try them out in my building’s gym. With a pair of white, light-weight training shorts, a stretchy, moisture-wicking training shirt, and light weight running shirt all in my box, I gave each one of the garments a try and was pleased to say that they felt, functioned, and looked just as good as any of the “big name” athletic brands. And, with each piece pricing in at almost half of what Nike or Reebok garments cost, Conzul has hit that rare sweet spot where convenience meets price meets quality.

Seiko’s newest 145th anniversary watches go all-in on purple
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Seiko has unveiled its third and final 145th-anniversary series, a six-watch menagerie built around what the brand calls “Edo purple.”

The color dates back to Japan’s Edo period (1603-1868), when Tokyo was still known as Edo, and it’s been treated as a signature regional shade ever since.

Seiko’s new watch is a tiny tribute to a tinier Honda scooter
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The folks at Seiko have a fun one on their hands: the 5 Sports Field x Honda MOTOCOMPO Limited Edition, a 36.4mm field watch built entirely around Honda’s cult “trunk bike.”

It’s a tribute to a weird Japanese cult scooter (more on that later), and the color scheme goes hard to match. A bright yellow dial cribs from the scooter’s original color, with a black band running across the center carrying the Honda logo — a nod to the MOTOCOMPO’s protective side bars.

Your summer shades are tired, it may be time for an upgrade with KREWE’s expert advice
Accessories, Sunglasses, Face

There are few things better than putting together a great look, checking yourself in the mirror, and then going for that perfect pair of sunglasses to slide on and complete the outfit. Your shades are the completion of a transformation from indoor to outdoor. They are functional in that they protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. And they keep you from getting that annoying headache resulting from squinting all day. But they are also an amazing stylistic opportunity. They can become your statement piece; just ask Elton John if they are simply functional. But how do you select the right sunglasses to upgrade your collection? I was recently in the KREWE store down in the Meatpacking District and discovered that shopping for shades can be more than just scrolling online; it can be an experience unlike other shopping outings. After my experience in the store, I asked KREWE to spread the knowledge for shopping for new shades.

The best sunglasses are the ones you instinctively reach for day after day. But if your current pair is starting to feel a little too familiar, it may be time for an upgrade. – Kate McCabe, Vice President of Brand Marketing, KREWE
