While it’s not uncommon to see Merrell producing iconic and versatile outdoor footwear, their latest release is beyond what you’ve seen from them. In their newest sneaker, the athletic company merges lightweight practicality and style to create the ultimate hiking footwear. With its futuristic design, Merrell’s sneaker is a must-have for hikers looking to get more out of their outdoor shoes. Full of innovation and footwear technology, this new sneaker marks a new standard for the brand’s release in the upcoming year. Although hiking might be on hold for a few more months, these sneakers are unlikely to stick on shelves for long. 

Merrell’s SpeedARC Surge BOA

With their first release of the year, Merrell’s SpeedARC Surge BOA uses marathon shoe technology and adopts it for a walking pace. Crafted using Nylon FlexPlate technology that returns 100% more energy than the standard hiking boot, this shoe is made to absorb the impact of your hiking journey. Also included in the design is the FloatPro+ and Super Critical foam which involves active-trigger springs that offer double the cushioning, giving the user a soft impact in each step.

On the outside of the shoe, Merrell has opted for Matryx uppers that combine Kevlar filaments and polyamide for a breathable and lightweight material. For extra traction, the shoe’s QuantumGrip outsole gives users confidence in durability and support. With almost every part of the shoe equipped with the latest footwear technology, there’s no doubt you can wear the design in most situations, from hiking to walking. Now available in two colorways, Raven and White, the new Merrell sneaker is available via the brand’s web store for $290.

The best casual watches for men (to upgrade your everyday style)
Work wear blues watch close up

Watches are more than a tool. They are more than an accessory. They are the kind of tool and accessory that make a statement. They are an expression. They are a statement. A man can look incredible: the right top, the right bottom, great shoes, great hat. The wrong watch can ruin a look, or even the whole essence. Here is the rub: the wrong watch can be subjective. For instance, most people will tell you that a Timex broken watch isn’t the right watch for a pinstripe power suit. However, it was my grandfather’s watch, and I wear it anytime I need him and his guidance. The point? That is never the wrong watch. Once you find a casual watch that works for you, it will be your everyday wear and will never be the wrong watch.

That is what I collected here: The best of the casual watches you can pick up today that will become your everyday wear.

Audemars Piguet launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market
Audemars Piguet

Rolex has dominated the watch world for nearly a century. The industry is a deep and complicated web of luxury houses and independent hopefuls. While brands like Patek Phillipe and Cartier vie for their place on the podium, Rolex holds a death grip on the chronophile’s aspirational collection checklist. But Audemars Piguet has decided to challenge them somewhere most other brands are deciding to ignore: the pre-owned market. Now, while something like the Royal Oak is an icon among enthusiasts, AP launching their own certified pre-owned marketplace to chase the reported $1 billion Rolex pie will certainly upset the market.

Like I said, it is a deep and complicated web, so I sat down with a horological expert and founder of WatchGuys, (317K on Instagram), Robertino Altieri, to have him walk me through what this means for watches and their passionate collectors.
