When New Balance announced its first loafer design, it was an unexpected step for the sneaker company. Although the design kept the New Balance sneaker vibe, the loafer touch was subtle yet distinct. Now, with dressy sneakers trending, the sneaker brand is diving head-first into the loafer design, and it’s already turning heads. The New Balance 1906L takes the 1906 model and gives it a complete loafer makeover. While many will focus on its unique look and tech-inspired color, the 1906L also has some of the best characteristics in terms of comfort. A trendy shoe that’ll likely become an instant classic, the 1906L is a must-have for any wardrobe.

If there’s a sneaker company that knows how to make a comfortable shoe, it’s New Balance. Known for their walking-friendly footwear, New Balance’s 1906L takes everything you love from your 1906 sneaker and turns it into an innovative loafer. Not losing the traditional chunkiness of a New Balance shoe, the 1906L comes with a cushioned 860v2 sole unit and shock-absorbent pads in the heel and outsole. Adorned in ‘Magnetic,’ the silvery metallic hue, the 1906L is a perfect mix between trend and practicality.

The first run of the $159 shoe has already sold out, but you can sign up to be notified when the 1906L is available again. Of course, you might want to hold out — recent rumors point to suede and black versions coming soon to the market.

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

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.
