With the spring season in full bloom, New Balance is again delivering a seasonally appropriate footwear option. Donning a green-hued colorway, the latest New Balance sneaker is the ultimate way to bring your sneaker collection to life this season. While this colorful shoe contrasts drastically with the brand’s moodier and neutral releases, it doesn’t lack New Balance’s renowned footwear technology. As part of the Teddy Santis-led ‘MADE in USA’ line, this sneaker is a step above the brand’s traditional offerings. Like the MADE in UK branch, the MADE in USA branch comprises some of the brand’s most premium designs. Although Santis has announced nine new styles for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2025 season, this new release is another welcome addition to the lineup.

New Balance MADE in USA 990v6 “Avocado”

The newest MADE in USA sneaker, which uses the New Balance 990v6 silhouette as a base for the design, is a mixture of green hues. The sneaker has a dark green ‘Avocado’ hue that takes over the mesh toe box, midbox, and collar. The lighter green hue, “Natural Mint,” takes over the suede midfoot and heel overlays. A green mid-tone also adds a pop on the mudguard, eyestays, and heel. White and grey hues can also be found throughout the shoe, emphasizing the green. This seasonal green sneaker will be released via the New Balance web store on April 10, retailing for $200. With a spring-inspired mixture of greens and white, this stylish shoe is just the right color to add to your closet this year.

Legendary designer has a project coming up you may not know about

Legendary designer, Tom Ford, is writing and directing a film adapting the Anne Rice novel, Cry to Heaven

Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

Tom Ford is a name that every fashionisto knows well. He is the top of the top when you talk about famous suit makers. He began his career changing the landscape of multiple brands, including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, before launching his own self-named brand of his own in 2005. The brand has remained a mainstay in the industry for the last 20 years, including the acquisition of Estée Lauder in 2022 for an estimated $2.8 billion. For the movie buffs in the room, you also likely know about Tom Ford because he became the exclusive tailor and suitmaker for Daniel Craig's James Bond for Quantum of Solace in 2008. He carried that gig all the way through the series and defined men's style for two decades.

Now, for the real cinephiles in the room, you may also know that Tom Ford himself is a movie buff and entered the industry as a writer and a director in 2009 by directing A Single Man with Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Then again in 2016 with Nocturnal Animals with Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Michael Shannon. Of course, the wardrobe was stellar in both, and we will get a chance to see his talents onscreen again this fall with a new Anne Rice adaptation, Cry to Heaven.

The ‘Dad Reset’ is on the horizon: Megan Collins leads the charge

Men are taking ownership over what they wear and the founder of Style Girlfriend is here to help

Person, Sitting, Adult

One of the most frustrating moments in any man's style journey is when your wardrobe starts to feel stale. No matter what you do, you feel like everything you put on is old, boring, or tired. You try to switch it up. You pair it differently. It just lost its luster. The truth is, it happens to all of us. But the people who struggle with it the most are middle-aged men. With a specific focus on dads. Middle-aged men are too young to resign themselves to not caring about their look anymore. They are too old to dive into the trends with the changing of the fashion winds. So many of them throw in the towel. Add to that overwhelming feeling being a busy father, and there is just no way to spend the time and energy on rebuilding a wardrobe. That is where Megan Collins comes in. Her business, Style Girlfriend, takes men and restores their confidence from the ground up with new, elevated, and evolved stylistic choices.

When you have one outfit you love, you wear it. When you wear it, you notice how much better you feel. Then, you want another outfit that gives you that same feeling. That's how confidence builds. Not all at once, but one good decision at a time. - Megan Collins, Founder, Style Girlfriend

Shinola’s new blacked-out Mackinac Night Race revives a rare sailing complication

The Detroit brand's new limited edition puts a one-of-a-kind forged carbon dial on a yacht timer — the countdown built for sailboat starts.

Wristwatch, Arm, Rope

Shinola has made watches about Detroit, about the Apollo program, and about a lake monster. Its newest one is about a sailboat race, and damn, is it good-looking.

The Detroit-based brand is launching the Mackinac Night Race, a limited edition built around the yacht timer — the countdown complication used to time the start of a sailing race, aka one of watchmaking's more specialized tricks. The name nods to the Great Lakes maritime history the watch draws on (so not technically an official race tie-in).
