Known as one of HOKA’s most versatile recovery shoes, the Ora Primo is built for those post-workout moments, everyday errands, and anything in between. For the new season, HOKA is adding plenty of warmth and seasonality to its Ora Primo release, introducing the slip-on in two new shades, “Squid Ink” and “Mineral Brown.” The new colors add a seasonal edge without taking away from the shoe’s laid-back and versatile design. “Squid Ink” leans into a clean, all-black look that pairs well with just about anything, while “Mineral Brown” introduces a warmer, earthy tone that feels right at home with fall layers. Soft cushioning, a lightweight build, and the effortless slip-on style make the Ora Primo more than just a recovery shoe, but it’s a pair you’ll keep by the door all season long.

HOKA’s Oro Primo arrives in new fall-ready colorways

Built to balance comfort with everyday wearability, the Ora Primo is bound to stand out from the rest of the lineup this season. In the two colorways, HOKA brings a moodier tone to the Oro Primo, with a “Squid Ink” colorway that emphasizes the monochromatic black and a “Mineral Brown” that sees a decadent brown accented by shades of “Cast Iron” that add depth. HOKA pairs its signature cushioned midsole with a breathable slip-on upper, creating a shoe that feels as good after a long run as it does on a quick grocery run. A structured heel adds security without sacrificing ease, while the lightweight outsole brings just enough grip for stepping outside. Both the “Squid Ink” and “Mineral Brown” colorways will be available on October 1 through HOKA and select retailers. Although the sneaker isn’t designed to be your fastest or flashiest, it’s an example of recovery footwear that lives in the real world, offering comfort you’ll actually want to wear every day.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
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.
