While heritage boots have become more popular in recent seasons, brands like Nicks Handmade Boots have been at the forefront of quality craftsmanship for years. Known for its premium material and construction, Nicks Boots is no stranger to going above and beyond to create the ultimate design. In their latest collaboration, the brand has partnered with Horween Leather Company for a heritage boot that’s anything but new. By perfecting a formula that dates back to the 1900s, both brands have created the ultimate boot that embodies old-fashioned craftsmanship. While the overall design and composition of the boot appear traditional, the use of contemporary techniques meshed with a classic formula is the ultimate recipe for success.

While Nicks Handmade Boots is renowned for their heritage boot collection, Horween Leather Company is equally lauded for their high-quality leather, allowing them to become the exclusive leather supplier for NFL footballs. With this combination, there’s no doubt the result would be timeless and full of quality. Crafted with Spokane Leather, an offshoot of a previous leather construction created in the 1900s, the Overlander boot dons a unique leather appearance that’s equally durable and sleek. Over time, the Overlander boot is meant to patina, meaning it’ll only look better with use. For those who tend to stroll in rough terrain, the Overlander boot also has an optional Vibram outsole for extra grip. Available for $609 via Nicks Boots’ website, the standard lead time for the boot ranges from 18 to 35 weeks. Although the traditional look of the Overlander boots may seem familiar, the indescribable quality of the craftsmanship and construction of this partnership is far above the rest.

525 cyclist victories went into building Brietling’s newest watch
Breitling honors one of the greatest cycling legends of all time in their newest watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Breitling has been a mainstay in the luxury watch world for as long as watches have been on the wrists of explorers around the world. After their success with the iconic Navitimer, Breitling looked for a new way to make a splash, and boy, did they find a great one in the early sixties. When they dropped the Breitling Top Time, it was a revolution, the kind that showed up on the wrist of one of the most famous people in the world. When James Bond wears a watch, it becomes an icon, a legend. Now, the Top Time didn't have the Geiger counter on it that Sean Connery's did in 1965's Thunderball, but it was a pillar for the next decade. Following the discontinuation in the 1970s and the relaunch in 2020, Breitling has dropped a new version honoring one of the greatest cyclists to ever pedal.

Eddy Merckx is the greatest cyclist of all time. His record speaks for itself. These watches capture that drive, that constant push to go further, faster, and push limits. - Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO, Breitling

The Surprising Connection Between Luxury Watches and Sneakers
How Collecting Became a Market
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Back in the day, as in pre-2020 (which, let’s be honest, still feels like it was a year ago), collecting was so much simpler. You bought a watch simply because you liked the dial or the way it glittered on your wrist. You bought a pair of sneakers because you thought they made you look like your favorite athlete. Or, maybe there was satisfaction in knowing they might be worth more someday (though we’re still waiting on all those Beanie Babies to go up in price too). Then came 2020, and we all know what happened then. 

When the world shut down, people found themselves with too much time on their hands, more disposable income since there was nowhere to spend money, and a collectibles boom erupted forth like a volcano. Watches and sneakers were no longer just hobbies; they were actual markets. Rolex prices jumped up to outrageous heights, and then later fell like a lead balloon. The frenzy became so intense that, after peaking in April 2022, an index of popular Rolex models tracked by WatchCharts would later fall 21%, according to Morgan Stanley.
