Puma, JJJJound release a new Mostro sneaker

If it seems like Canadian brand JJJJound is everywhere these days, the feeling would be correct. With recent collaborations with some of the top footwear brands like ASICS, the brand isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Now, the brand is getting ready to take on a new iconic model, but this time with PUMA. In recent seasons, PUMA has brought some of their archival designs into the spotlight, with many like the Speedcat turning into the shoes of the season. PUMA is now getting ready to push another one of their statement models into the forefront, and this time it’s turning to JJJJound’s chic touch for the ultimate launch.

JJJJound x PUMA’s Mostro is a must-have sneaker for summer

With only a few subtle changes, the Montreal studio has turned PUMA’s statement Mostro sneaker into the newest luxe sneaker you need for the summer. Swapping out the traditional fabrics with suede uppers and leather sockliners, the latest textures and designs elevate the unique shoe to a new level. Other details like the dot matrix-style Formstrip and subtle JJJJound branding on the heel add a different touch to the design. The JJJJound x PUMA Mostro sneaker will be available in dark chocolate and deep navy, for an even more decadent look. While the design has already been released in Europe, the duo has not yet set a date for a global launch, although it is expected to land on shelves this year. Because of Mostro’s unique silhouette, it often goes under the radar as a difficult-to-style shoe. With the luxe upgrades from JJJJound, this shoe can become your new favorite everyday sneaker.

Adopt your Wimbledon Whites with these stellar summer pieces
Summer is the time for the all white ensemble, take your lead from the best of the best on the court
Adult, Male, Man

The Wimbledon Championships are the oldest of the four Grand Slam tournaments. They have been around since the late 1800s, and if you know anything about events that old, they are steeped in customs and traditions. While I am a huge fan of customs and traditions, I have always thought it odd when players of high-octane sports wear white. It feels like keeping sweat stains would be an utter nightmare. Having said that, Wimbledon requires all participants to wear white. It is what has come to be called the Wimbledon Whites. Now, I am also a huge fan of dressing the part, so I will confess to being guilty of planning an all-white ensemble just in case I ever land an invite to the most prestigious tennis match in the world. Now, if you are cooler than I and have already landed an invite to the tournament, then I have put together the elements of the perfect Wimbledon look.

Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh
How long should you wear your underwear? An expert gives us insight.
Clothing, Undershirt, Adult

I am on an underwear kick right now. I can't help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don't think about it often (hopefully you are a little bit after reading my last article with David), I have discovered we actually DO think about it in some ways. We just need to change how we think about it. Ladies, go ahead, ask your guy what underwear he is wearing right now. There will be two answers. 1 - "No clue, what did you buy me?" 2 - "My favorites." We're weird about it. We all have at least one pair we wear all the time. It is our favorite pair. Then we have the others, the ones that are just the day-to-day. And finally, we have the ones we never want to wear, but it's a laundry emergency, so we must. In all likelihood, this pair has been with us since Mom bought them for us. That's right, yeeeeeeeears ago.

Fellas, it's gross. I often think about a movie quote from Smokin' Aces, by the always-great Jeremy Piven. "There is not a laundry detergent or dry cleaning product known to man that will get that out. Suffice it to say, some sh*t, don't wash out." There is a moment in time when your underwear is done for, beyond saving. But, when do you know when to give up on old faithful? David and I hashed it out.
