While known for their comfy slip-on design, Crocs aren’t necessarily a go-to for hiking needs. However, in their newest design launch, Crocs is now catering to those looking for a bit more cushion after those adventurous hikes. With a hybrid sneaker-clog model, the new Crocs Echo Gum RO Clog is an easy way to give your feet a break, no matter the length of your trek. Featuring all the classic Crocs details, this hybrid clog also incorporates sneaker-inspired elements, making it perfect for any terrain. Whether you’re out camping or just looking to add more traction to your step, the new Crocs release is an ideal addition to your leisurewear. Boasting a comfortable and lightweight design, Crocs’ launch signals an expansion for the brand that looks to be known for more than just their classic clogs.

Crocs’ newest lightweight clog is a camping essential

While the upper half of Crocs’ new Echo Gum RO Clog appears like any other clog in the brand’s lineup, the bottom half dons a new look. Created with the typical cushioned and lightweight Croslite material, this hybrid clog also features a LiteRide cushioned footbed for further comfort. Also included are the typical ventilation holes and signature backstrap. The new outsole replaces the previous Croslite material with a rubber-like material, providing enhanced traction and grip on uneven surfaces. Available now for $75 via Crocs’ webstore, the new clog is ideal for traveling through the elements while still keeping your feet safe and comfortable. Rock them on the streets or after your hikes, these Crocs are a must for keeping yourself comfortable all day.

Style, shirt

FIFA 2026 provides a global amphitheater for sport, people, and culture to converge. Not only do the world’s best football players compete for the crown, but devoted fans have opportunities for travel and spectacle, visiting new places while cheering on their national team. It’s a true celebration.

And when participating in a once-in-a-lifetime event, it makes sense to dress your best, not only to look good, but to express yourself and support your team. With that in mind, I put together my favorites for each step of the World Cup journey — travel day, match day, and nights on the town.

Christopher Nolan and Hamilton made a bronze watch fit for The Odyssey

Hamilton and Christopher Nolan team up again, with a bronze field watch for timed for the debut of The Odyssey.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Here's a first for a company that's spent decades sticking its watches into movies: this one was built for a film it can never actually appear in. That's the twist on the Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition, Hamilton's latest team-up with Christopher Nolan tied to his upcoming epic The Odyssey (in theaters July 17).

Since the film is set in the Bronze Age, it's pretty unlikely that anybody was wearing a wristwatch. For us in the modern age, though, the new watch's 42mm case is bronze (it'll develop its own patina over time). The black dial looks like Odysseus's helmet; there are a pair of sword-shaped hands in bronze, and the 12 o'clock index is modeled on a rivet from the scabbard. You get the idea. Meanwhile, the titanium case back is engraved with the helmet and Nolan's signature.

VERO Watches drops a watch reminding you forest fire prevention is all you

VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies sends 10% of proceeds to prevent forest fires

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

VERO Watches is built to find the man who embraces his lineage. I am not talking about his nationality. I am not talking about his race or his heritage. I am talking about the lineage that brought us from the caves and the frontier to the more civilized and modernized world we recognize today. These are watches for explorers. These are watches for the man who ditches the cubicle and the office. The boardroom is a prison for our adventurous spirit, and VERO figured that out and is creating watches to help the man disappear from that existence to reclaim his place in the wilderness. Now that the dramatic part is over, I can tell you about the new drop featuring one of our favorite characters from our childhood, Smokey the Bear. The new VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies is set up to remind all of us of one single truth.

Preventing forest fires is your responsibility
