As if creating the ever-divisive sneaker-loafer hybrid shoe wasn’t enough, New Balance can also tout having the chicest walking shoe of the season. Part of the brand’s “Made in UK” series, New Balance is bringing a new iteration of the Allerdale sneaker just in time for the fall season. Named and inspired by the region in England where New Balance’s Filmby factory is located, the Allerdale silhouette has all of the British charm and sophistication you could ask for. Fusing an everyday sneaker with a more elegant presence, the Allerdale isn’t just another sneaker drop. While previous iterations saw the walking shoe donning premium tan materials and more, the newest launch keeps the sophisticated style in yet another neutral shade. 

A new look for New Balance’s Allerdale sneaker

Inspired by the British leisurely walking style, the New Balance Allerdale sneaker continues to show how everyday footwear can still be elevated and sophisticated. Crafted with a durable, tumbled leather upper, heavy-duty double stitching, and hiking-inspired treads, the Allerdale is easy to wear on any adventure. While the outside is clean and minimalist, the inside includes all of the footwear technology you need for comfort and all-day wear. The design features the brand’s FuelCell cushioning technology and Ortholite insoles for a cushioned feel. Set to arrive on New Balance’s shelves in the fall season for a retail price of $250, the New Balance Allerdale is a perfect example of how the brand continues to push high-quality construction and materials in everyday options. Falling under New Balance’s “Made in UK” umbrella, there’s no doubt that the Allerdale is among the most sophisticated the brand has to offer.

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.
