Save trees by running with Nathan

Offset the emissions of your order by planting a tree

A particular breed of person wakes up before the sun rises. They stretch off their night’s sleep, and they get dressed in their favorite movable clothing. Then they exit their homes and start running. They take in the sights, the smells, and the sounds of the world around them while their Fitbit tracks everything from their route to their heart rate so they can say they got a great workout and they are then much healthier. One of the aspects that makes that run so addictive is the nature surrounding them. But while we may love a good morning jog, the threes lining the trails are disappearing faster than we can replace them. That is something you can now help with, thanks to the Nathan Plant a Tree program.

A bonus to great running gear

Nathan is one of our favorite places to go when we are recommitting ourselves to regular running. Their shorts are lightweight with advanced moisture-wicking technology and a 4-way stretch. Their Stealth Jacket is so light you likely won’t even remember you are wearing it, and it won’t make that annoying swishing sound other jackets make. But that is what you are coming for when you shop for running gear. Nathan wants to go the extra mile, so you can choose to spend .65 cents more, and Eco drive will plant trees on your behalf. The partnership between Nathan and Ecodrive has committed to using the shipping distance to calculate how many trees would need to be planted to offset the emission created by the order. Run well. Feel great.

When it comes to ultra-cushioned sneakers, no one emphasizes it more than On. Known for their series of plush soles and over-the-top silhouette, On has made a name for itself for being equally aesthetic and comfortable. With styles from Cloudmonster to Cloudsurfer, there’s a level of cushion for every type of performance or activity need. However, for those yearning for something on the extreme side, On is introducing one of their plushiest models yet. With their new Cloudsurfer Max, On is bringing double the cushion and maximizing comfort and stability in the design. While the taller sole might not be for everyone, there’s no denying that On has added every bit of cushion and foam available into this design, making it one of their most dynamic releases yet.

How men are reclaiming their wedding day style
Rothman's NYC is seeing a trend in Men's Wedding Wear in 2025
Rothman's Wedding Season suit shopping

When I sold suits to men, I trained my staff to sell to a particular person involved in the transaction. When you are selling anything to a group of people, one person typically calls the shots. When I sold a wedding suit, no matter how often I asked the man what they were looking for, they always directed the question to the bride. Sometimes, to the bride's mother. For years, a wedding was the bride's day. The man had to do nothing but grunt or nod in agreement and show up on the day, doing what he was told. But the tide is shifting as men take more ownership over their appearance. A man's style is a personal expression of who they are, and they want to be remembered on the day for how they look as well.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Ken and Will Giddon, owners and operators of New York men's style staple Rothman's NY, to get insight into this new trend. The man used to think that he would never be wearing a suit or tuxedo again, that it was only to make the bride happy. Will Giddon sees a shift in that dynamic.
