Nike continues to elevate the ACG Rufus with a new color

Whenever a new release becomes a hit, it’s not uncommon to see brands rerelease it in a flurry of hues. We’ve seen how specific designs, such as New Balance’s sneaker-loafer and Adidas’ Samba sneakers, have become the target of numerous iterations due to their virality and popularity among users. The same is the case with Nike’s recently revived ACG Rufus mule. Recently refreshed with a premium leather finish, Nike has once again upgraded the design with another leather finish. Perfect for the colder seasons, the ACG Rufus is easy to slip on for any activity. Like the previous release, this new ACG Rufus is elevated and chic, making it a versatile option for any wear.   

Nike debuts a new ACG Rufus for the end of the year

Fresh off their previous tan leather upgrade, Nike has offered a new look for the ACG Rufus that sees it in a classic all-black hue. Crafted with black leather uppers and an embossed ACG on the lateral side, the latest model is still as chic and timeless as its predecessor. A small khaki swoosh logo breaks up the monochromatic look on the tip of the toe box, while an ACG outsole provides traction and comfort. One of the highlights of the new design is a dark red insole, which also features the ACG logo. All of the design lies on top of a black midsole, which brings the entire design together for a cohesive look. While Nike has yet to offer an official release date, it’s expected to still land in 2025 via Nike’s various platforms for $120.

It’s a true celebration.

And when participating in a once-in-a-lifetime event, it makes sense to dress your best, not only to look good, but to express yourself and support your team. With that in mind, I put together my favorites for each step of the World Cup journey — travel day, match day, and nights on the town.

Christopher Nolan and Hamilton made a bronze watch fit for The Odyssey
Hamilton and Christopher Nolan team up again, with a bronze field watch for timed for the debut of The Odyssey.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Here's a first for a company that's spent decades sticking its watches into movies: this one was built for a film it can never actually appear in. That's the twist on the Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition, Hamilton's latest team-up with Christopher Nolan tied to his upcoming epic The Odyssey (in theaters July 17).

Since the film is set in the Bronze Age, it's pretty unlikely that anybody was wearing a wristwatch. For us in the modern age, though, the new watch's 42mm case is bronze (it'll develop its own patina over time). The black dial looks like Odysseus's helmet; there are a pair of sword-shaped hands in bronze, and the 12 o'clock index is modeled on a rivet from the scabbard. You get the idea. Meanwhile, the titanium case back is engraved with the helmet and Nolan's signature.

VERO Watches drops a watch reminding you forest fire prevention is all you
VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies sends 10% of proceeds to prevent forest fires
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

VERO Watches is built to find the man who embraces his lineage. I am not talking about his nationality. I am not talking about his race or his heritage. I am talking about the lineage that brought us from the caves and the frontier to the more civilized and modernized world we recognize today. These are watches for explorers. These are watches for the man who ditches the cubicle and the office. The boardroom is a prison for our adventurous spirit, and VERO figured that out and is creating watches to help the man disappear from that existence to reclaim his place in the wilderness. Now that the dramatic part is over, I can tell you about the new drop featuring one of our favorite characters from our childhood, Smokey the Bear. The new VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies is set up to remind all of us of one single truth.

Preventing forest fires is your responsibility
