While the Fall/Winter season might be the time to opt for coziness and comfort, it doesn’t mean it should be devoid of boldness and innovation. At a time when everyone is preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Oakley Factory Team and Brain Dead are once again developing new ways to break the mold with cutting-edge design. 

Just in time for the holidays, the duo has released their newest FW25 campaign, which focuses on two of Oakley’s footwear silhouettes and revamps them to even bolder heights. Along with the two latest iterations, the campaign features collaborative eyewear such as the Plantaris and Straight Jacket 99, for a well-rounded collection. Along with Oakley’s knack for innovative craftsmanship, this collaboration dons Brain Dead’s neo-futuristic style and touch. While there’s no doubt this collection isn’t suited for everyone, it’s a bold design statement that’s unique in its category.

Composed of new versions of two Oakley silhouettes, the brand’s new F/W 2025 campaign with Brain Dead has no shortage of color. Arriving in “Coffee” and “Burnt Red” colorways, the Ibex sneaker features an updated design that pushes the boundaries of outdoor footwear. Crafted with a synthetic suede and molded cage upper, the Ibex offers the ultimate blend of texture and color. Offering a secure fit, the Ibex features a reinforced coding system that provides users with greater security and peace of mind. For foot ventilation, the design also incorporates mesh windows, while the O-Grip outsole offers superior traction. An Ortholite insole and sculpted midsole round out the shoe design for better comfort and support.

Also joining the campaign are new versions of Oakley’s Flesh Warp silhouette. This design arrives in new “Sequoia” and “Blue/Black” with a full-grain leather upper, as well as a hairy suede upper in “Triple Grey.” The Flesh Wrap’s design remains the same, with its asymmetrical lacing system as the focal point, providing a snug, secure fit for each user. The new iterations of the sneakers, along with the eyewear collection, are available now through Brain Dead’s and Oakley’s webstore. The items will also be available for purchase through Oakley stores and select stockists.

The best casual watches for men (to upgrade your everyday style)
Work wear blues watch close up

Watches are more than a tool. They are more than an accessory. They are the kind of tool and accessory that make a statement. They are an expression. They are a statement. A man can look incredible: the right top, the right bottom, great shoes, great hat. The wrong watch can ruin a look, or even the whole essence. Here is the rub: the wrong watch can be subjective. For instance, most people will tell you that a Timex broken watch isn’t the right watch for a pinstripe power suit. However, it was my grandfather’s watch, and I wear it anytime I need him and his guidance. The point? That is never the wrong watch. Once you find a casual watch that works for you, it will be your everyday wear and will never be the wrong watch.

That is what I collected here: The best of the casual watches you can pick up today that will become your everyday wear.

Audemars Piguet launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market
Audemars Piguet

Rolex has dominated the watch world for nearly a century. The industry is a deep and complicated web of luxury houses and independent hopefuls. While brands like Patek Phillipe and Cartier vie for their place on the podium, Rolex holds a death grip on the chronophile’s aspirational collection checklist. But Audemars Piguet has decided to challenge them somewhere most other brands are deciding to ignore: the pre-owned market. Now, while something like the Royal Oak is an icon among enthusiasts, AP launching their own certified pre-owned marketplace to chase the reported $1 billion Rolex pie will certainly upset the market.

Like I said, it is a deep and complicated web, so I sat down with a horological expert and founder of WatchGuys, (317K on Instagram), Robertino Altieri, to have him walk me through what this means for watches and their passionate collectors.
