Fashion-forward pieces include a reversible navy bucket hat with an embroidered “Step Into Joy” design that speaks directly to the fun, colorful, and positive ethos of Havaianas. This same message is spread across the rest of the capsule while incorporating the 100-year anniversary celebration.

All pieces display both the New Era and Havaianas logos to indicate their limited-edition specialty. The trucker hat and 9Twenty classic hat including New Era’s signature silver stamp, which signifies that the hat is an authentic New Era style that boosts your street cred. New Era is the official sideline cap of the NFL and the official court cap of the NBA, which if anything proves these products live up to the same standards of quality, comfort, and function.

Here at The Manual, we stan the bucket hat and recommend you try it, too. It’s the must-have genderless accessory for 2020. The New Era x Havaianas version is the perfect place to start. It delivers a fresh level of swagger without trying too hard. Not to mention, you get a two-for-one investment with its reversibility. Some other favorite items are the washed denim baseball caps and the color block flip flops.

When two super-niche heritage brands come together, you know it’s special, and more importantly, worth the impulse purchase for your next beach day. The New Era x Havaianas collab will be available online and at select Havaianas stores in limited quantities beginning August 20.

Adidas’ newest Samba is here – and you’ll need a pair in your closet
Adidas Samba OG Made in Italy in Tan

Fans of the retro sneaker trend know the value and influence Adidas Samba has had on footwear trends as of late. Whether it’s vibrant prints or sleek colorways, the Samba sneaker has transformed in various ways to fit into different styles and wardrobes. However, Adidas’ newest iteration of the Samaba is one of the chicest and most sophisticated versions the company has ever released. Part of Adidas’ ‘Made In Italy’ series, the newest Samba drop sees the sneaker transformed with a hand-polished calf leather that will slowly patina over time. As with dress shoes of similar materials, this leather-crafted Samba gives the look and feel of a luxurious sneaker. 
Samba OG 'Made in Italy'

Only the second of this Italian-designed series, the newest Samba release follows the path of previous iterations that saw the famed sneaker in a black and white croc textured pattern. Unlike those drops, the newest Samba gives the illusion of a high-quality Italian dress shoe. Adding to this style are the hand-painted finishes used on the sneakers, making each pair unique. Boosting the sophisticated release is the one-of-a-kind Made in Italy white box and dust bag in which the sneakers are delivered. Finishing off the sneaker are the typical white laces and rubber outsoles. Those looking to purchase the newest premium Samba can start October 7th at 7 am PDT via Adidas’ CONFIRMED app, Adidas online, and select retailers. Although modeled after the Samba, these leather sneakers are priced higher at $350. However, with the quality and premium details that have gone into this new iteration, they're likely to sell out quickly.
