KEEN, Pilgrim Surf + Supply release new duo design

KEEN is made for the outdoors, and there’s no better example of this than their recent collaboration with New York-based Pilgrim Surf + Supply. After numerous collaborations last month with brands like Eastlogue and Engineered Garments, KEEN is again delivering a co-branded collection. This time, KEEN is turning to the waves for a campaign that pays homage to surfers. Using two of their most recognizable silhouettes, this new collection is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons that will bring you outside. With one of the designs crafted for high traction and another for ease and breathability, this duo pack is a must-have for any adventurer in the warmer weather.

Although both new designs are part of the latest collaboration between KEEN and Pilgrim Surf + Supply, there are plenty of differences between each. While they can each fulfill different roles during warm weather, they offer various benefits that suit those who love spending time outdoors. On one hand, the Jasper Zionic shoe is a high-traction sneaker that can easily take you through different surfaces. The ethically sourced suede leather adds texture, while contrasting, detailed stitching brings a stylish design choice. The contoured tongue and tongue-to-toe lacing system provide an athletic fit that offers a more comfortable and secure feel. The high-traction rubber outsole includes a studded lug pattern for better mobility. 

For those looking for an airy feel, the Yogeez Clog provides the most breathable option, including ease of access. This lightweight, slip-on shoe has an adjustable feature in its removable K logo strap. While lighter than the Jasper Zionic, the Yogeez Clog has a nonmarking rubber outsole and an injected foam filling, giving the shoe a more comfortable feel. Both designs are available on the KEEN web store and retail for $170 and $80, respectively.

Timex revives a 1970s classic with a modern twist in new Bespoke Post collab
A modern interpretation of the Viscount collection
Timex x Bespoke Post

Timex's latest field watch is inspired by a collection of watches known as Viscount, which dates back to the 1970s. It was quite popular in the good old days and was the go-to for the Australian National Railway. This time around, the brand partnered with Bespoke Post to make the watch more stylish and durable, keeping up with the times. While the brand rolled out large models inspired by Viscount in the past few years, the latest addition has a 36 mm casing—the new modern size.

Given that Bespoke Post focuses on outdoor gear, it had a big influence on some of the materials featured on the new watch. Apart from the small casing, the watch is paired with a new Cordura strap, a material that can be easily styled to fit multiple spaces. It can also take on everything that’s thrown its way.

Sneaker-loafers continue to be the trend that keeps on giving. With stellar designs from New Balance, Converse, Reebok, and more, this trend shows no intention of slowing down. Following the trend, Axel Arigato is getting ready to bring this eclectic shoe to the next level. While many of these hybrid shoes take elements from sneakers and loafers, Axel Arigato is adding even more silhouettes into the mix. Considered part slip-on, loafer, and sneaker, the newest mule from the Swedish brand is a one-of-a-kind design. Despite taking elements from a slide, the brand has made it perfectly clear that it’s anything but. With a new campaign called “Not A Slide,” the brand teases the fact that this shoe has no clear definition or box it can be checked under.
