There are some big names in the athleisure industry, but none as significant as lululemon. With the biggest name in stylish comfort, it was only a matter of time before they found ways to team up with big names in sports. Now, they are coming together with Fanatics and the NHL to bring a limited edition collection that will stop the hearts of any hockey fan.

The National Hockey League is one of the United States’ “Big Four” in the sports industry, and the partnership with lululemon and Fanatics, one of the biggest names in fan gear, should prove to be a huge boost to all three parties. The collection offers lululemon staples like the Scuba Hoodie, Define Jacket, Align Pant, Steady State Crew, Metal Vent Tee, and Everywhere Belt Bag, all with an NHL twist.

“We are proud to celebrate the start of an exciting new season with the launch of this collection with Fanatics and lululemon, a premier global athletic apparel brand,” said Brian Jennings, Chief Brand Officer and Senior Executive Vice President, NHL. “With a unique campaign featuring our Players and their partners, we’re confident the elevated product offerings coming to team stores, select Lids stores and NHLShop.com will delight our fans.”

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists

The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.

Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.

Luminox goes full stealth with a new all-steel Navy SEAL Foundation watch

The blacked-out new release swaps the brand's usual straps for a matching IP Gun steel bracelet.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox built its name on lightweight, strap-bound tool watches. Now, it's trying a slightly different tack.

The Swiss-made, American-founded brand just added a fully blacked-out, all-steel model — the XS.3228.NSF — to its Navy SEAL Foundation 3220 Series, a collaboration that dates back to 2020.

Even If You Don’t Golf, You’ll Want to Wear This New Fabletics x Malbon Collection

New polos, dresses, trousers, and accessories bring streetwear-inspired style to the fairway.

Fashion, Clothing, Glove

‘Tis the season for beach weekends, cookouts, and glorious rounds of golf. If your wardrobe for the links could use a refresh, Fabletics just launched its second collaboration with Malbon. Inspired by the ocean, the collection features green hues and marine motifs. It’s a his-and-hers collection, with polos and trousers alongside dresses and leggings—garments that look as dapper on the greens as they do in the clubhouse dining room.

The partnership unites two companies with reputations as disruptors in the sports apparel space. Founded in 2017, Malbon has built a loyal following by blending golf apparel with streetwear, fashion, and art. The company has flagship stores in Los Angeles and New York City in addition to a large digital presence. If you follow the PGA Tour, you’ve seen hotshots like Jason Day, Charley Hull, and Sungjae Im sporting Malbon.
