Soccer continues to mark the trends, and Nike is joining in on the movement. While brands like Adidas have already doled out their soccer-inspired footwear, the American athletic company is following suit with its own soccer lifestyle sneakers. Besides taking a major inspiration from the soccer world, the newest Nike design takes a cue from the upcoming fall season with a decadent hue that’s as rich as the falling leaves. With the typical silhouette of the Nike Killshot 2, this new design incorporates added touches that revive features from traditional soccer cleats of the past. Perfectly apt for the upcoming season, the new burgundy shade gives the design an added luxury that elevates this sneaker into more than just another everyday shoe option. 

Nike’s Killshot 2 gets a fall upgrade with a new hue and soccer touch

In its latest Killshot 2 release, Nike has added a brand new autumn-ready hue that elevates the design into a new luxe-inspired piece. Along with a new shade, the Nike Killshot 2 draws inspiration from retro soccer cleats to deliver a trendy option that perfectly aligns with the modern soccer footwear trend. Donning a deep burgundy color, the Killshot 2 features smooth leather uppers with a swoosh logo in the same tone. Borrowing from traditional soccer shoes, a fold-over tongue and embossed Nike logo bring some of the sporty touch to the sneaker. For a slight color contrast, the Nike Killshot 2 also includes soft touches of brown along the upper’s linings. A hidden message can also be found on the insoles, which spell out “N I K E” in Morse code. Dark brown laces rest under the fold-over tongue, a design choice that brings everything together in one cohesive shoe. While this new Nike Killshot 2 has yet to be released, there’s no doubt that it will cause quite a stir once it lands in stores.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
