There’s no doubt that when New Balance 1906L first debuted, the sneaker-loafer was born. While other brands released similar styles before and after, the New Balance 1906L marked the start of the hybrid shoe trend. Since its debut, the New Balance 1906L has had multiple iterations in different colors and materials, with some offering a more subdued look while others amped up the statement silhouette. As we approach the fall season, the athletic company is once again pushing the envelope with a new pair of colorways of the sneaker-loafer, also known as the snoafer. Donning croc finishes, the two new pairs of 1906L offer a luxe texture material with the choice of a decadent red or monochromatic black. 

New Balance’s sneaker-loafer returns in two new shades

Perfectly in style for the fall season, New Balance’s 1906L makes its seasonal return with two crocodile skin-inspired materials that add a luxe finish to this interesting design. Both iterations take on a glossy, patent leather upper with a crocodile skin-inspired texture added on top. On the bottom, both colorways feature a black sole unit that houses the brand’s full-length N-ERGY cushioning system for better shock absorption. While the two colorways have the same features and details, the upper half of the sneaker-loafer comes in the option of a red or black hue. While the exact release date is unknown, this luxurious sneaker-loafer pair is set to hit shelves in the fall season for a retail price of $160 each. As New Balance continues to push and celebrate the uniqueness of the silhouette, these elevated options offer a more versatile option for users looking to adapt the design into their wardrobe.

Seiko has unveiled its third and final 145th-anniversary series, a six-watch menagerie built around what the brand calls “Edo purple.”

The color dates back to Japan’s Edo period (1603-1868), when Tokyo was still known as Edo, and it’s been treated as a signature regional shade ever since.

Seiko’s new watch is a tiny tribute to a tinier Honda scooter
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The folks at Seiko have a fun one on their hands: the 5 Sports Field x Honda MOTOCOMPO Limited Edition, a 36.4mm field watch built entirely around Honda’s cult “trunk bike.”

It’s a tribute to a weird Japanese cult scooter (more on that later), and the color scheme goes hard to match. A bright yellow dial cribs from the scooter’s original color, with a black band running across the center carrying the Honda logo — a nod to the MOTOCOMPO’s protective side bars.

Your summer shades are tired, it may be time for an upgrade with KREWE’s expert advice
Accessories, Sunglasses, Face

There are few things better than putting together a great look, checking yourself in the mirror, and then going for that perfect pair of sunglasses to slide on and complete the outfit. Your shades are the completion of a transformation from indoor to outdoor. They are functional in that they protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. And they keep you from getting that annoying headache resulting from squinting all day. But they are also an amazing stylistic opportunity. They can become your statement piece; just ask Elton John if they are simply functional. But how do you select the right sunglasses to upgrade your collection? I was recently in the KREWE store down in the Meatpacking District and discovered that shopping for shades can be more than just scrolling online; it can be an experience unlike other shopping outings. After my experience in the store, I asked KREWE to spread the knowledge for shopping for new shades.

The best sunglasses are the ones you instinctively reach for day after day. But if your current pair is starting to feel a little too familiar, it may be time for an upgrade. – Kate McCabe, Vice President of Brand Marketing, KREWE
