As HOKA continues to push the boundaries between style and performance, its latest Mach X Caged release blends the needs for comfort and design. Like other brands, HOKA’s approach takes on a sculptural look, making it easier for users to wear this sneaker beyond the track. Similar to Adidas’ Climacool 3D sneaker, this HOKA piece infuses translucent details to create a sheer, see-through effect that elevates the typical sneaker into a piece of art. While this shoe is crafted with a new modern look, the technical aspects of the sneaker remain similar to the rest of the Mach lineup. Available in two colorways, Pea Green/Hoka Citrus and Black, the HOKA shoe is a contemporary approach to a classic shoe. 

HOKA’s Mach x Caged blends design and performance

Constructed with layered mesh and microfiber uppers, translucent TPU overlays add a material contrast. Cutouts in amoeba shapes and flow-molded textures add depth and movement to the design. Besides the design, the shoe’s premium technical features elevate the look for both performance and usability. Reflective accents aid in low-visibility situations for runners and casual wear alike. The HOKA Mach x Caged sneaker comes equipped with the brand’s Pebax propulsion plate and offers a responsive energy return for better performance. A dual-density foam cushioning delivers impact absorption and adds comfort to your step. The sneaker’s outsole confirms the Mach series’ traction and stability in all-terrain, whether you plan to wear it on a run or in the city. Available now via HOKA’s webstore, the sneaker will retail for $200.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
