As it stands, New Balance has become a hub of innovation and out-of-the-box creations. With recent releases like the hybrid sneaker-loafer, the brand has cemented its status among those who appreciate a unique point of view. An essential aspect of New Balance’s creativity comes from the brand’s Tokyo Design Studio, an experimental unit that focuses on functional footwear with style. Following their previous releases, New Balance’s Tokyo Design Studio is releasing two new designs to the brand’s MT10T lineup. The MT10T minimalist slip-on trail sneaker follows the path of previous designs that fuse different characteristics, while maintaining a practical component. Arriving in two colorways, brown and navy, the MT10T is minimalist yet dons a futuristic aesthetic that’s difficult to pinpoint. Made to be simple and luxurious, the usage of premium materials and craftsmanship elevates the sneaker to a new level. 

New Balance’s MT10T sneaker goes luxury with a new design

Created to mimic a barefoot experience on the trails, the minimalist MT10T sneaker is as close as one can get to trail running without shoes. The design opts for a low-profile and refined, elevated look. Constructed with pig nubuck suede uppers, cow leather linings, and a leather collar, the sneaker’s overall design is enriched by premium materials. Both colorways feature a round-lugged Vibram outsole with ample grip and a black protective synthetic overlay. Finishing off the design is a thin midsole that keeps users close to the ground, allowing the foot to move naturally while remaining comfortable. Both colorways are now available via New Balance’s webstore for $140 each. With minimalist, innovative design, the MT10T sneaker is a glimpse of the future of trail sneakers.

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.
