While KEEN is primarily known for its outdoor shoe lineup that adds performance details to rugged footwear, it doesn’t mean that the brand is shutting itself off from other types. As golf continues to grow as a sport and as a style, it’s no surprise that KEEN has opted to dabble in golf footwear for the first time. Along with LA-based streetwear brand Metalwood Studio, KEEN is making its mark on the green. In this new collaborative collection, the duo is releasing two new golf shoes that are crafted for pre- and post-games. Although most of KEEN’s lineup is already suited for any outdoor activities, these golf-specific options offer fans of the sport a designated choice that brings together KEEN’s performance technology and Metalwood Studio’s knowledge of the game. 

KEEN and Metalwood Studio’s first joint appearance on the green 

To mark their first collaboration, and KEEN’s first golf footwear, the duo has introduced us to the limited-edition Hyperport Clog and UNEEK II Convertible. Both designs include features like hyper-light cushioning, convertible versatility, ethically sourced materials, and bespoke Metalwood branding. The Hyperport Metalwood Clog is designed with recycled bungee cord and lace-lock toggle for a secure fit, while also including the brand’s Original Fit technology, allowing your feet to spread without worry. On the other hand, the UNEEK II Convertible Clog features an adjustable back strap that helps keep your foot in place. This lightweight, cushioned clog allows users to take a break from their activities with a cushioned midsole. Both collaborative designs are now available on KEEN’s and Metalwood Studios’ webstores, and retail for $150 and $160, respectively.

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.
