While sports like Formula 1 and golf have recently reentered their seasons, other activities like tennis and padel aren’t losing steam. As sports like tennis, padel, and pickleball continue to rise in popularity among those looking to experiment with new athletic activities, brands are taking note of their footwear collections. As part of P448’s expansion into the performance space, the brand is launching a new court sneaker for indoor sports. Made with Vibram, the court sneaker is crafted with functionality in mind to withstand high-impact usage. Available in four new colorways, the court sneaker is a versatile option for on and off the court. Although this is the Italian brand’s first experimentation in the performance footwear space, the premium details and features don’t allude to it being its first performance shoe. 

P448 x Vibram takes you to court

Created with polyester uppers, the new court sneakers feature a high abrasion resistance Vibram rubber sole that protects the design from constant wear and tear. Also featured on the new P448 sneaker is a patented foot cage for support, durable ripstop nylon, and a memory foam insole, which adds to the shoe’s comfort and stability features. While just the first of P448’s new performance category, the design already has four distinct colorways. The tones available include Green/Sand/Orange, Gunmetal/Grey/Blue, Black/Purple, and Black/White/Lime combinations. With a pair of matching laces included, the new release from P448 is a promising first step for the Italian brand. Now available via P448’s website, the sneaker retails for $298 in all color options.

Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh
How long should you wear your underwear? An expert gives us insight.
Clothing, Undershirt, Adult

I am on an underwear kick right now. I can't help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don't think about it often (hopefully you are a little bit after reading my last article with David), I have discovered we actually DO think about it in some ways. We just need to change how we think about it. Ladies, go ahead, ask your guy what underwear he is wearing right now. There will be two answers. 1 - "No clue, what did you buy me?" 2 - "My favorites." We're weird about it. We all have at least one pair we wear all the time. It is our favorite pair. Then we have the others, the ones that are just the day-to-day. And finally, we have the ones we never want to wear, but it's a laundry emergency, so we must. In all likelihood, this pair has been with us since Mom bought them for us. That's right, yeeeeeeeears ago.

Fellas, it's gross. I often think about a movie quote from Smokin' Aces, by the always-great Jeremy Piven. "There is not a laundry detergent or dry cleaning product known to man that will get that out. Suffice it to say, some sh*t, don't wash out." There is a moment in time when your underwear is done for, beyond saving. But, when do you know when to give up on old faithful? David and I hashed it out.

Expect the unexpected with Dior 2027 Summer Men’s Show
Unexpected patterns and substitutions lead the way in Paris
Clothing, Formal Wear, Suit

Tucked back off a small street, Rue de Monceau, in Paris, just a short 8-minute walk from Parc Monceau to the Northeast of the Eiffel Tower, sits a museum many Americans miss on their trips to the City of Love. Musée Nissim de Camondo is home to a wide collection of French art from the 1700s. It is draped in tapestries and adorned with artifacts displaying the beauty of French artistic creativity. This week, it also happened to be home to Dior's Summer Men's Show. These destination shows by the iconic French fashion house, have been home to some of the most pivotal moments in fashion progression. From the "New Look" event a year after the company was formed in 1947, to the "Russian Catwalk" in Moscow in 1959, to this season. What did the attendees of this event experience (other than sweltering heat)? Unexpected changes to classic lines and fabrics that ask the wearer to look to the future.
