Kiko Kostadinov and ASICS have found a way, again, to make comfort feel like something more than just functional with the Novalis Season 3. For this collection, the duo blends running inspiration with high-fashion sensitivity, pulling together knitwear, bold patterns, and standout Gel-Styrax silhouettes that feel adventurous. In the design, Kostadinov’s touch is apparent by fusing utility and design with details like geometric diamond motifs and contrast-stitched panels that give it texture and personality. More than their performance features and design, these sneakers are a testament to both brands’ craftsmanship and commitment to quality. Along with the reworked GEL-STYRAX mules, Novalis 3 also features new apparel pieces like knitwear and retro-inspired items. 

ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov bring Novalis Season 3 with style and boldness

At the center of the drop is the new Gel-Styrax, arriving in two colorways: a sharp graphite gray with teal and in a combination of obsidian grey with rust orange accents. Both combinations play with contrast in a way that feels true to Kostadinov’s distinct style. The sneaker uses ASICS’ signature GEL cushioning for comfort and stability, paired with layered panels that add depth and durability. For added performance, the underfoot includes FF BLAST PLUS cushioning and a TRUSSTIC heel unit for stability and comfort. Alongside the footwear, the collection features knitwear and accessories that incorporate the same geometric patterns and bold detailing, tying the line together as a cohesive expression of the Novalis vision. The ASICS Novalis Season 3 collection is available through Kiko Kostadinov’s webstore and the brand’s Los Angeles and Tokyo flagship stores for $205 USD.

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.
