When exploring the outdoors, there’s no doubt that North Face has a lengthy history and experience. Known for its excellent selection of outdoor items that provide warmth, support, and protection, it seems natural that the brand also knows how to create quality footwear. While North Face’s Offtrail hiking collection isn’t as vast as other brands, it’s full of great choices that can easily withstand all your hiking adventures. In their recent release, North Face expanded their hiking collection with two distinct designs made for hikers. Besides North Face’s expected brand quality, these new releases have many styles and modern features that can easily compete with your favorite current brands. With these additions, North Face adds techy features that bring a classic rugged design into the modern era.

North Face has introduced the Offtrail Hike LT Mid GORE-TEX Boots and Offtrail Hike GORE-TEX Shoes for their latest drop. In the latter, the brand has introduced a protective toe cap, a durable SURFACE CTRL rubber outsole, and a rugged waterproof GORE-TEX membrane. Designed as a chunky sneaker, the Offtrail Hike GORE-TEX shoes are made for any hiker. Available in three colorways, this techy sneaker is the perfect way to add robust footwear technology into your closet with sleek and stylish hues. Retailing for $185, this classic hiking sneaker option is a timeless silhouette that can easily take you from the trails to the city.

North Face’s second release is a similar design but in a hiking boot. Available in the same three colorways, the Offtrail Hike LT Mid GORE-TEX Boots are a lightweight hiking boot option with ample ankle protection. Perfect for more rugged terrain and extreme weather conditions, the LT Mid GORE-TEX boot also includes a waterproof membrane that allows users to feel comfortable and sturdy in their footwear. Despite the added material around the ankle, the boot remains a lightweight and flexible option that can easily help you maneuver any trail. While the LT Mid boot is slightly more difficult to style in everyday situations, it’s certainly a shoe made for trendy hikers. Retailing for $200, the LT Mid GORE-TEX boot is available via North Face’s web store, with its sneaker counterpart.

Patrick Dempsey becomes face of Tag Heuer eyewear in expanded ambassador role
From watches to eyewear: Dempsey extends tag heuer partnership into new territory
Patrick dempsey for tag heuer eyewear

Dempsey has been a brand ambassador for over a decade. His dual career as an actor and a professional racing driver, including a podium finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans-fits the brand’s focus on performance, precision, and lasting style.
Dempsey’s expanded role comes with Tag Heuer’s latest eyewear launch. The collection was made in collaboration with Thélios, LVMH’s eyewear division. The campaign features Dempsey wearing two key models: the Jack Heuer and Mini Vingt-Sept lines.
One campaign image stands out. Dempsey recreates a well-known portrait of Jack Heuer holding a chronograph. This visual connects the brand’s heritage with its future. The timing is fitting, following Dempsey’s role as racing legend Piero Taruffi in the 2024 film “Ferrari.” This nods to Jack Heuer’s partnership with an Italian automaker in 1971.
The 2025 eyewear collection has three lines. The Jack Heuer frames are inspired by 1960s pilots and use Japanese titanium and ChromaFade lenses. The Mini Vingt-Sept line updates the brand’s technical eyewear with steel hinges and bio-nylon temples. The Shield Pro line is focused on performance, offering flexible frames and interchangeable lenses.
Dempsey’s involvement with Tag Heuer has always been hands-on. He’s attended events like the Monaco Grand Prix and boutique openings. In 2019, he received the “Spirit of Le Mans” award for his contributions to endurance racing.
This eyewear collaboration is a natural next step for both Dempsey and Tag Heuer, continuing a shared story of racing, design, and innovation in the luxury world.

A new Formex watch that will take you to space
Formex Space Glacier

Formex presents a new watch, the Space Glacier, in different sizes to diversify the Essence collection. Like the original model dating back to 2018, the 2025 edition stands out due to the Widmanstätten pattern, which is accentuated by a rough texture that adds depth to the front face. The crystal-like appearance is unique and varies from one model to the next.

This new addition draws some inspiration from older models launched in the past few years, such as the Essence Space Gold.
