Retro sneakers have been making a comeback for several seasons, and now New Balance is taking it one step further. While the shoe company already has a long list of beloved sneakers, the 740 is a different kind of retro sneaker that speaks to the true Y2K style. First released in the 2010s, the 740 has gone under a refresh to reflect modern times, without losing its retro style. While the shoe’s appearance is reminiscent of its Y2K era, the technology and details behind it speak to the advancement of the sneaker technology. And while the 740 hasn’t seen shelves in a few years, it’s ready to make waves with two refreshes, which look to make an impact with a brand new audience. Along with this release, New Balance and rapper Aminé are gearing up for a collaboration release of the 740 in November.

New Balance has introduced more sleek features on the 740 sneakers for this redesign. Starting with the most prominent change, the 740 has simplified the ABZORB midsole to match the rest of the shoe. New reflective panels and contrasting ribbon eyelets are also included.  The shoe is made of a mesh base and green/silver metallic overlays to add a touch of interest to the design. While there’s no mistaking the retro-inspired color combination and design, the 740 is made to cater to modern runners and their needs. The updated 740, priced at $110, will be available via New Balance’s website starting October 16 and in-store at select retailers beginning October 20.

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 launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market
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.
