It’s no secret that Kith has had an exciting year of collaborations that produced a series of interesting sneakers. While Kith has had a fascinating year, the brand’s Kithmas is shaping into some of its best partnerships. To round out their Kithmas celebration, Kith and Salomon have updated two athletic sneakers to add style to next year’s wardrobe. Based on one of Salomon’s most iconic designs and one of their archival pieces, these two new sneakers are a crisp and clean way of ending the calendar year. As with typical Kith collaborations, there’s no doubt these new silhouettes will sell out quickly, making them the final must-have of the season.

Celebrate with the Kith x Salomon XT-4k and XT-Voyager

Inspired by Salomon’s existing XT-4 retro trail runner, the first of Kith and Salomon’s collaborative sneakers has been updated with new colorways and branding. Made with closed mesh, synthetic leather uppers, and reflective accents, the latest designs are a technical advance on its predecessor. Complete with Kith branding on the tongue and the sneaker’s lateral side, this release comes in two colorways. The XT-4k will come in a white/red colorway and black/red combination, making choosing the right style for your wardrobe easier.

Besides the XT-4k sneaker, Kith and Salomon are taking on the archival XT-Voyager. This sneaker is based on Salomon’s Adventure 7 first released in 1994. Made with a synthetic upper with debossed suede, ballistic nylon overlays, and mesh lining, this is the ultimate retro sneaker to add to your rotation. Complete with a zippered tongue and a hidden Quicklace closure, this sneaker comes with the ultimate rugged and tech design. Using a dual-density midsole and Salomon’s Contragrip rubber outsole, the sneaker is ideal for all your adventurous needs. Both sneakers will be available via Kith’s website and app on December 30th at 11 AM EST and retail for $220. Since it is unlikely that these designs will be available for long, fans of Kith’s collaborations should act quickly to get their hands on the newest sneakers of the year.

Biver releases the Carillon Tourbillon: A masterpiece of haute horology

Where fine watchmaking meets jewelry art: Biver's ruby-adorned Carillon Tourbillon

The Carillon Tourbillon Desert Rose in rose gold.

Biver has yet again gone above and beyond to release a timepiece that perfectly melds functionality and artistry in its singular Carillon Tourbillon Desert Rose. An exceptional watch that recalibrates the luxury watch market, it features rose gold, mother-of-pearl, and rubies in a great union of stunning craftsmanship.
A parade of precious metals
A beautiful 18K rose gold case and bracelet act as a gorgeous backdrop to the piece de resistance: a mother-of-pearl dial that glows like gleaming sunlight. Draping this canvas are ruby hour markers that gleam as their scarlet color is intensified by the guilloché center's intricate textures. With more than five decades in the business, the Biver family's reputation of crafting immaculate timepieces is well known by watch enthusiasts -- each detail has been intricately crafted to create a visual ambiance, which is evident from the faceted bracelet to the symmetrical layout.
The technical and artistic ambiance converge
Underneath the surface of its beautiful exterior lies mechanical features that are just as impressive. The platinum micro-rotor Caliber JCB-001-B ensures precision timekeeping with a 3Hz frequency and 72-hour power reserve, visible through the anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Biver's reputation for technical excellence is second to none, and the tourbillon complication is presented with elegant restraint, allowing the materials to stand out.
The Biver guarantee
Currently retailing for $670,000, each Carillon Tourbillon Desert Rose comes with a 4-year warranty and the prestigious JCB seal, certifying the highest standards of Swiss watchmaking. With a water resistance of up to 50 meters, this timepiece is wearable art and a celebration of beauty and human ingenuity.

New Balance’s recent luxury star is coming in a brand new color

New Balance releases new sneaker

pair of white new balance allerdale sneakers

While it feels as if New Balance’s luxury walking shoe, Allerdale, was released only a few days ago, the brand is already prepping for another colorway drop. Previously, the athletic company revealed their ‘Made in UK Allerdale’ sneaker, which mixed sophisticated and low-key details in one chic design. Already proven a hit globally, New Balance is taking advantage of the heightened popularity by unveiling the silhouette’s newest shade. While the past Brown/Black color combination was a classic mix, the latest color is a minimalist look that has the opportunity to turn into a timeless shoe. This sneaker is the ultimate casual sneaker for the brand’s Made in UK line that’ll elevate your everyday looks.
New Balance Allerdale “White/White”

Donning a new crisp white hue, the upcoming New Balance ‘Allerdale’ design repeats its predecessor’s chic style. Created with tumbled leather uppers, the off-white midsole offers a small tonal contrast that adds dimension to the overall style. Color and material variation adds texture and style to the look, giving it the sense of an old-school heritage sneaker. D-ring lacing, embroidered branding, and a woven graphic label at the tongue complement the sneaker. A green Ortholite sole insert adds a pop of hidden color while adding comfort and cushion to the design. The epitome of a classic white sneaker, this Allerdale is versatile and functional, with a sophisticated design. With a new colorway already releasing weeks after the initial release, there's no doubt that new hues are expected for this model in the near future. Those looking for this new hue can purchase the Allerdale sneaker via New Balance’s website starting April 3, with the shoe retailing for $250.
