There’s no doubt that Keen is home to many must-haves for adventurers or thrill-seekers. The brand’s rugged sandals and boots are among the favorites for those seeking a stable shoe that can withstand any terrain. While this legacy brand has just about everything you could desire, there’s one space it hasn’t occupied – until now. Now, Keen is debuting its first trail running shoe, designed to provide comfort and stability, thanks in part to input from runners and athletes. The newest Seek trail running shoe is part of a new expansion of the brand, which looks to provide its quality footwear technology to every type of athlete and hiker. Because trail sneakers tend to see plenty of wear and tear, Keen has added every kind of durability feature to the design to ensure your Seek sneaker is ready for any adventure.

Taking into account comments and tips from professional trail runners, Keen has developed a shoe that’s reliable, comfortable, and long-lasting. Featuring a breathable upper with a padded tongue and stretchy collar, the Seek is easy to wear and relaxed on the foot. Crucial to the design is the shoe’s Quantum Foam, which boasts a stable and responsive step. The design also includes high-abrasion rubber lugs that provide traction for up to 925 miles. Crafted with a wider forefront and 6mm heel-to-toe drop, the Seek sneaker offers a more natural foot strike. Reflective laces enhance visibility, while environmentally safe natural probiotics compose the design’s Eco Anti-Odor feature. Weighing only 10.9 ounces, the Seek sneaker is lightweight and easy to carry throughout your runs. Priced at $185, the Seek trail running shoe will hit Keen’s webstore and select retailers on July 25.

The Surprising Connection Between Luxury Watches and Sneakers
How Collecting Became a Market
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Back in the day, as in pre-2020 (which, let’s be honest, still feels like it was a year ago), collecting was so much simpler. You bought a watch simply because you liked the dial or the way it glittered on your wrist. You bought a pair of sneakers because you thought they made you look like your favorite athlete. Or, maybe there was satisfaction in knowing they might be worth more someday (though we’re still waiting on all those Beanie Babies to go up in price too). Then came 2020, and we all know what happened then. 

When the world shut down, people found themselves with too much time on their hands, more disposable income since there was nowhere to spend money, and a collectibles boom erupted forth like a volcano. Watches and sneakers were no longer just hobbies; they were actual markets. Rolex prices jumped up to outrageous heights, and then later fell like a lead balloon. The frenzy became so intense that, after peaking in April 2022, an index of popular Rolex models tracked by WatchCharts would later fall 21%, according to Morgan Stanley.

Adopt your Wimbledon Whites with these stellar summer pieces
Summer is the time for the all white ensemble, take your lead from the best of the best on the court
Adult, Male, Man

The Wimbledon Championships are the oldest of the four Grand Slam tournaments. They have been around since the late 1800s, and if you know anything about events that old, they are steeped in customs and traditions. While I am a huge fan of customs and traditions, I have always thought it odd when players of high-octane sports wear white. It feels like keeping sweat stains would be an utter nightmare. Having said that, Wimbledon requires all participants to wear white. It is what has come to be called the Wimbledon Whites. Now, I am also a huge fan of dressing the part, so I will confess to being guilty of planning an all-white ensemble just in case I ever land an invite to the most prestigious tennis match in the world. Now, if you are cooler than I and have already landed an invite to the tournament, then I have put together the elements of the perfect Wimbledon look.
