Why the HEYDUDE Collegiate styles are the best way to show off your school spirit

Each of the school spirit styles is designed with signature HEYDUDE comfort at their core. Made from lightweight material, convenience is everything here. For instance, there’s an easy-on lace system, so you can simply slip them on to save you time getting ready.

Like all the best shoes, the HEYDUDE Collegiate Collection has a sport mesh upper, so you get a breathable upper part of the shoe that keeps your feet cool and dry, even if you’re on a long walk or the weather is particularly hot on game days.

There’s also a removable foam insole, so if you need to replace the inserts, you can, although most people will be happy with what’s already here. Alongside that is a lightweight, flexible outsole that gives you plenty of protection and keeps your feet nice and cozy.

Everything about the HEYDUDE Collegiate Collection is designed to ensure you’re game-day ready every day of the week. Whether you simply want some super sweet shoes for wearing to class or going about your daily business, or you’re looking for something to wear cheering on the big game, these are the shoes for you. The styles are truly memorable while also being very practical. What more could you want?

Newly launched, the HEYDUDE Collegiate styles are available now in a wide variety of different designs to match your school and team while supplies last.

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.
