Ever since its arrival, the Sprinters shoe collection from Maison Margiela has caused quite a stir. Mimicking some of the most iconic low-profile sneakers in the footwear world, like the Nike Moon shoe, the Sprinters collection has a unique design that counters the recent chunky shoe trends. While these shoes are recognized for their slimmed-down silhouettes, the newest releases showcase the sneakers in bold and statement-making new colors. Like Puma’s Speedcat sneaker, these Sprinters are the perfect way to play into the retro shoe trend without settling for a plain casual sneaker. Now with a broader selection of colorways, these sneakers are a premium option for those looking to add a pop of color to their wardrobe. 

Get bold with Maison Margiela’s Sprinters sneakers

With four new colors, the Maison Margiela Sprinter sneakers have more personality and a bigger statement appearance. The latest options include lemon yellow with blue option, kiwi green with blue, black-and-white, and white-and-gray versions. The brand is also expected to release dark green, light blue, and oxblood iterations in July. The Sprinter sneakers feature suede, calfskin, nylon, and rubber uppers. On the bottom, a cleated gum sole adds to the retro look. The pull tab includes the brand’s signature stitching, while the iconic numeric label appears on the tongue. While neutral hues are a versatile option, especially for footwear, these bright designs offer a more designer touch to your look. Prices for the Sprinter sneakers range from $820 to $875. The first four colorways are now available via Maison Margiela’s webstore and retailers.

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.
