Shoe King Allen Edmonds is Giving Away A Pair of Their Best-Sellers, the Sueded Strandmok 2.0.

If you’ve ever been on a mission to find the perfect pair of brogues, you probably started and ended your search with Allen Edmonds. Whether you’re looking for a pair to wear around the office, impress at the bar, or explore the city, they have a style for every occasion. With Fathers’ Day fast approaching, Allen Edmonds and The Manual are teaming up to give you a shot at the perfect gift that will make you dad’s favorite. We’re giving away a pair of Allen Edmonds’ Suede Strandmok 2.0 to one lucky winner who won’t have to spend hours and hours trying to find something dad will like.

The Strandmok 2.0 is the casualization of the original Strandmok. The 2.0 is made in the U.S.A. with the classic brogue detailing and form that made the original so popular, but small changes were made to accommodate warm weather and comfort. The 2.0 is outfitted with an ultra-lightweight Vibram sole that provides extra cushioning and makes them a great casual option for any occasion. These brogues can now be worn year-round thanks to their warm weather friendly construction. They are fully unlined which allows the shoe to breathe and makes going sockless in these on a hot, summer day so much easier. Also, with your bright summer wardrobes in mind, Allen Edmonds gave the 2.0 a color facelift. With choices like light brown, summer blue, and grey, you’ll be looking summer ready in your brand new Strandmok 2.0’s.

The Strandmok 2.0 isn’t the only Allen Edmonds style selling like crazy this summer. Allen Edmonds is currently in the midst of its Fathers’ Day sale that runs through June 19th. The sale features $100 off select styles, including many brand new styles for spring and summer, such as the Sea Island Suede Loafer, Schreier Tassel Dress Loafers, and the Boone Plain Toe Casual Shoes. With a sale like this from a brand known for its shoes, there’s bound to be a deal that’s too good to pass up.

Some other styles that we’re diggin’ this summer from Allen Edmonds’ new collection are their Liverpool Chelsea Dress Boot, Leiden Wingtip Blucher, and the St. John’s Double Monk. If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve probably witnessed the resurrection of the classic Chelsea boot. These were made popular by The Beatles in the 60s and have found their way back into the fashion limelight in recent years. The Liverpool Chelsea by Allen Edmonds is made with premium leather, constructed with an elastic side panel for sliding on and off with ease, and comes in two colors black and brown. The Leiden and St. John’s Double Monk are classics that haven’t skipped a beat. The Leiden is made with its traditional brogue detailing and wingtip design that separates itself from the rest. The St. Johns Double Monk is constructed with double buckles and is versatile enough to wear with a suit, jeans and everything in between.

New York Men’s Day debut: HOLD NYC goes alpine sexy in new collection
comfort glamour elevated for the lodge
HOLD NYC Hero

Finding the perfect Apres ski look is a task that every mountain sports nut has figured out. The move from the mountain to the lodge takes you from extreme sport to casual relaxation and maybe a little luxury. While you will mostly find the skiers and snowboarders dropping off their gear and shedding the layers in place of their flannels, jackets, and technical function style, there is an opportunity for some elevation that HOLD NYC is looking to capitalize on in 2025. The HOLD NYC NYMD debut brings an element of crossover between functional luxury and the element of glamour for their first run at New York Men's Day.
Bringing glamour to the mountain

The mountain lodge may not be the first place you think of when you think of glamour. While the lodge is the place for the perfect Apres ski looks that scream comfort and relaxation, there is a bit of etiquette and thought that goes into it. Glamour is the same, and therefore, there is a connection between the two that is perfect for someone like Holden Akerley, designer of HOLD NYC, to find the pathway between the two. He does that at New York Men's Day with the use of casual elements built into more elevated styles. From suiting using shorts to skirts with fleece tops, there is something for everyone in this collection that is classified as genderless. You shouldn't expect anything less than bold excellence from a former designer for Ralph Lauren, and Holden delivered that at New York Fashion Week.

Grand Seiko SBGH368 'Sakura Kakushi'

While Grand Seiko welcomed the year with a few stylish watches, it still has more cards up its sleeve. The brand recently unveiled the SBGH368 'Sakura Kakushi'—an embodiment of everything that thrives in nature.

It's reminiscent of what Japan looks like during the spring season. For starters, the Sakura Kakushi rose gold casing resembles pink cherry blossoms, thanks to the high-quality shade. Most elements align with “Sakura Kakushi”—a Japanese scenery created by cherry blossoms.
