While it seems like Kith is everywhere nowadays with its constant collaborations with high-named brands, its latest partnership with Birkenstock is already an instant classic. First released in December 2023, the Kith x Birkenstock’s winter clog is all about injecting your favorite silhouettes with a woven texture that gives it an extra touch. While there isn’t any significant change to the shoe’s design, this drop will come with four rich colorways that easily work for any winter look. Although this is already the third drop between Kith and Birkenstock, the partnership continues to deliver practicality and style, which keeps fans wanting more from the two brands. Even though the new drop doesn’t bring anything new, it’s certainly an investment that will never go out of style.

The re-release of Kith and Birkenstock’s braided clogs is now a yearly tradition everyone looks forward to. Once again available in brown, tan, gray, and green, these slip-ons come with all of the technical aspects from last year’s drop. Featuring premium constructions and suede uppers, these Kith Birkenstocks come with a fascinating and intricate woven detail that wraps around the entire shoe. Also included is a metal buckle that contains both brands’ branding. Keeping up with Birkenstock’s typical clog silhouette and design, Kith has elevated the design with a braided detail that takes it to the next level. These London Braided Clogs are now available via Kith’s website and app for $325. Proving that not all collaborative designs need to be flashy to work, the partnership between Kith and Birkenstock continues to deliver sophisticated and comfortable footwear options for all.

Keep your feet warm and dry: A guide to men’s winter shoes

Snow boots vs. winter shoes

Are you as sick of winter as I am? Well, buckle up because winter isn't sick of us yet and is sticking around. As I walked to the corner bodega this morning, the snow was falling, and it was sticking. It is doing its best to make our lives more inconvenient by the day, and to keep my car parked permanently in the same place for fear of black ice. It isn't all bad, the best part of the winter is you get to break out your favorite sweaters and the best coats for a few months. You get a break from the sweltering heat of the summer.

The worst part? The snow piles up, and everything becomes more cumbersome. Driving is harder. Walking to the office is more precarious. Even going to get the mail is a pain in the neck, literally, if you fall on the ice. But if you have the proper footwear, that isn't an issue. I learned a hard lesson long ago: The wrong shoes can be the difference between an uneventful trip to the office and a broken tailbone. Men's winter shoes are a must-have for your closet, and they will help you navigate the months until you need to trade them in for the waterproof needs of the April showers.

However, not one to follow the crowd, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and Blundstone have joined forces to create a new design that’s surprisingly timeless and comfortable.

Meet the #2381 All-Terrain Clog

Resembling a traditional clog, the #2381 All-Terrain Clog is an easy slip-on shoe that boasts luxury and practical features. Crafted with a striped footbed and waterproof leather uppers, the shoe's overall design mimics those typically worn by chefs in high-impact kitchens. A Vibram sole adds durability and comfort to the shoes, ensuring your feet remain safe and protected in or out of the kitchen. With a subtle embossed logo on the uppers, this clog is shockingly simple in design, making it stand out even more against COMME des GARÇONS HOMME’s regular offerings. Fans of the chef-inspired clogs looking to grab a pair can find them at selected retailers such as COMME des GARÇONS’s NYC store and Dover Street Market. With only 500 pieces available, there’s no doubt this clog will sell out soon. Although its chef clog appearance may deter some, the simpleness and durability of the clog make for the perfect everyday slipper that will withstand any daily routine.
