Known for their quality and durable footwear, Nicks Boots and Parkhurst are teaming up to create the ultimate engineer boot you didn’t know you needed. While engineer boots have become a less common sight thanks to the reinvigoration of other styles, they remain a stylish and rugged footwear choice. The engineer boot offers simplicity and practicality, regardless of situation or environment. A popular option for motorcycle fanatics or rugged work conditions, the engineer boot can also be a stylish addition to your look, adding volume and grit. Besides bringing knowledge and premium craftsmanship to the boot, both brands have combined one of Parkhurst’s most beloved features into this classic silhouette.

While the Nicks x Parkhurst Brakeman boot offers a classic engineer style, it also features one of Parkhurst’s most famed features. Crafted using the brand’s 602 last, the new collaborative style from the pair offers a comfortable and snug fit. The boot’s last refers to the detailed craftsmanship behind the shoe’s upper design around the foot, which helps keep the foot from slipping and maintains a rounded forefoot. The Brakeman boot also features a low-profile toebox, a tapered arch, and a form-fitting heel that allows the design to mold around the foot’s natural shape. Retailing for $689, the Nicks x Parkhurst Brakeman boot is available via the Nicks Boots web store and has a standard lead time of 18 to 35 weeks. With a vintage black hue, the Brakeman boot is another classic style that will transcend trends and become a generational favorite.

Axel Arigato releases new triple hybrid shoe

Sneaker-loafers continue to be the trend that keeps on giving. With stellar designs from New Balance, Converse, Reebok, and more, this trend shows no intention of slowing down. Following the trend, Axel Arigato is getting ready to bring this eclectic shoe to the next level. While many of these hybrid shoes take elements from sneakers and loafers, Axel Arigato is adding even more silhouettes into the mix. Considered part slip-on, loafer, and sneaker, the newest mule from the Swedish brand is a one-of-a-kind design. Despite taking elements from a slide, the brand has made it perfectly clear that it’s anything but. With a new campaign called “Not A Slide,” the brand teases the fact that this shoe has no clear definition or box it can be checked under.

J-Frost x New Era launches Hidden Messages collaboration for MLB

A combination of love for the game and love for the home town

J-Frost

If you've been a baseball fan as long as I have (1989 was the first time I remember watching a game, and I've been hooked ever since), then you know that what you wear to a game is crucial. It also says a lot about you and what kind of fan you are. One of my favorite things to do with my brother, who shares my love of the game, is to go to a game and point out all of the obscure player jerseys we see on fans. Guys who either played for the team in our childhoods or guys who played for a short time but made an impact. One of the other things I love is unique team apparel that means something. The new J-Frost x New Era Hidden Messages collaboration is the exact kind of thing one of us would tap the other on the shoulder and point out at a baseball game.
