Nike Roshe Run Mercurial and Magista

Have you got a serious case of World Cup fever? Whether you’re rooting for the Yanks or the Flying Dutchmen, they all wear the same soccer cleats. Inspired by the speed and power of the Nike Mercurial Superfly and Magista boots, the sneaker collections of the same name take colors and technology from the very best in performance soccer gear.

The Roshe Run has only been on the scene since 2013, but has already made a name for itself in the sneaker community. The simple upper and one-piece outsole has proved to be the form for simple colors and layouts, as well as the perfect canvas for more extravagant design options. Adorned with the same Nike Hyperfuse technology as many of their other running and sport shoes, the Roshe Runs HYP has added flexibility and structural support.

Simple color blocking with bright blues and oranges render the shoes a little flashy, but the black lining helps cut the color palette a bit. The comfort also can’t be beat on these, with a one-piece phylon outsole that’s supportive and provides plenty of cushion. The uppers are soft and breathable, built with from lightweight mesh and nylon with simplicity in mind. Worn with or without socks, it’s worth having a pair of Roshe Runs in your sneaker rotation.

Nomos adds color to Metro line for Ace Jewelers’ 50th
Two new Nomos watches with striking dial colors
Ace x Nomos Glashuette

Dating back to the early ‘90s, German watch brand Nomos Glashutte has dominated the industry with stylish timepieces. It is now collaborating with Ace Jewelers to mark a special milestone in the boutique's journey—its 50th anniversary. The latest additions, the Metro Neomatik and Metro Neomatik 39, are based on the Metro line and are cleverly designed to breathe some life into the collection. Think of it as a splash of color that makes everything look more interesting.

To make the collection more lively, the brand opted for contemporary color shades—orange and yellow. Each model features a subdial above 6 o’clock that’s highlighted by a different shade, which complements the dial. While the orange version has a yellow subdial, the yellow variant comes with an orange sundial, two warm colors that blend perfectly. The Metro line consists of three watch models with white and blue dials—the new orange dials add a touch of spice to the collection.

Sergio Tacchini taps into its tennis roots for SS25
Channeling the tennis beginnings and the polo origin
Sergio Tacchini Tennis

Athletes who make a mark on their sport almost always go on to create something off the court as well. After they leave a lasting legacy within their respective athletic venture, they look to have the same effect on culture. The most popular example is Michael Jordan and his Air Jordan shoe line. While he is the greatest basketball player of all time (no disrespect to Kobe or LeBron), his shoes have changed the world in so many ways that it's hard to quantify. But before MJ, you had Sergio Tacchini. While he was a legendary tennis star, he made a lasting impact on culture when he launched his self-titled brand. It started on the court and was worn by dozens of tennis legends from the 1970s to the 1990s, but it was also adopted by the British subculture "The Casuals" and hip-hop artists like LL Cool J and Nas. Since then, it went through some hard times before being acquired in 2019 and relaunched. The Sergio Tacchini SS25 drop heads back to its tennis roots, reminding everyone where it came from.
