When it comes to outdoor gear, Mizuno knows what it takes to provide dependable and practical items. Whether it be for table tennis or hiking, Mizuno has all of the gear you could need. Now, the brand is taking itself to the next level thanks to its latest collaboration that brings a British touch to its practical design. Along with British designer Margaret Howell, Mizuno is reviving its classic hiking sneaker with a touch of fashion. While providing plenty of sleekness, the new hiking shoes are also equipped with the technical features you would need to get the most out of your hike. Available in two understated tones, the hiking shoes are a sleeker version of the gear you know you can rely on. 

Mizuno and Margaret Howell bring style to your hikes

Arriving in two neutral hues, the new hiking shoe collaboration between Mizuno and Margaret Howell is a masterclass of minimalist footwear. Upgraded with a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX upper, this design can lock out the elements while keeping your foot secure and dry. Available in “Black” or “Charcoal,” both iterations don a monochromatic design with tonal overlays that add dimension and style. Inside, Mizuno’s Wave midsole cushions offer impact absorption and foot fatigue relief. The geometric engineering allows for a smooth roll from heel to toe. At the bottom, the dual-grip outsole provides maximum traction on any surface and at any level. Available now via Margaret Howell and Mizuno’s webstore, these new hiking shoes are the result of a balance between design and technical features. Rounding out the design is minimal co-branding that showcases the elevated partnership between the two brands.

Yema’s bronze dive watch gets a gold-flecked makeover
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Morteau, France-based Yema has added three new dial colors to its Superman Bronze CMM.10 lineup, and they might be the best-looking version of this watch yet.

The brown, green, and white dials all get the same glossy, lacquered treatment, with applied gilt-finished logos, raised hour markers, and diamond-cut hands that catch light in a way flat-printed dials just can’t match.
