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.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
