Twenty years ago, Adidas changed the game with its golf footwear series, and now the athletic company is getting ready to celebrate the milestone with a revamped version of the shoe that started it all. Worn by hundreds of men’s and women’s golf champions, the Tour360 has traversed the fairways to become a historic model that symbolizes innovation and craftsmanship. In honor of its anniversary, Adidas is releasing a limited-edition model in a commemorative silhouette and a modern design, showcasing just how far the golf shoe has come since its 2005 inception. Inspired by the first model, the newest Tour360 shoe dons a similar shape while packing new hues and features that truly change the game. While you don’t need to be a professional golfer to don this shoe, the updated Tour360 is a must for all golfers. 

Adidas Golf celebrates two decades of the Tour360

Like with all of Adidas’ commemorative designs, the Tour360 features many details that recall the very first model released in 2005. As Masun Denison, Global Footwear Director of adidas Golf, explained, “This celebrates the one that started it all, eliciting some nostalgia and emotion for those who were lucky enough to own and experience that first design.” Featuring a premium leather upper, LIGHTSTRIKE cushioning in the forefront with BOOST technology in the heel, the Tour360 is ready for any performance. The TORSION TUNNEL is combined with the 360WRAP and internal gusset for better stability and control during your golf game. The new outsole features a 7-spike THINTECH traction system that keeps golfers grounded on every swing. Details like an embossed “est. 2005” mark on the back of the tongue and the number 20 engraved on the metal eyelet add a touch of nostalgia to the design. Each pair will also arrive in a special shoe box that calls back to every version of the Tour360. The new limited-edition commemorative shoe is available on Adidas.com, in the Adidas app, and at select retailers.

Hockerty wants color to stand out this summer with new Color Edit
Stand out with new summer colors from Hockerty
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

The summer is in full swing. That means you are likely dealing with the rising temperatures to the point that you are sitting back and missing the blizzards of January. I remember standing on the corner of a street in New York and watching the snowflakes fall, thinking, "I can't wait for summer and baseball." Now, I am looking back and thinking about those temperatures, and I am wishing I had enjoyed them more. As I bake like a chicken on the streets of New York, I think about how to dress for the office while dying of heat stroke. The answer? Hockerty's new Summer Edit brings light and breathable fabrics while also adding in the kinds of colors that will take your wardrobe from stylish to functional without leaving the style behind.

Luminox’s new Adventure Watch trades tactical black for a weathered, vintage look
The Swiss brand's latest field watch wears a pre-aged "IP Antique" finish and leather straps, priced at $795.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox usually builds watches that look ready for a covert night operation — but its newest one looks ready for a 1950s expedition instead.

The Pfäffikon, Switzerland–based brand just dropped the Adventure Watch, a field watch styled after the timepieces of the early exploration days but built to Luminox's modern military-grade standards.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
