In their first collaboration, Japenese-based Hender Scheme and Oregan-based Pendleton combine the best of their craft to create the perfect winter shoe collection. Unveiling two new distinct designs in two colorways, this collaborative shoe is a unique offering that will have a place in your closet long after this season. Pendleton, known for its identifiable wool pattern, delivers its distinct touch for a design as timeless as modern. Also offering Hender Scheme’s quality leather, there’s no doubt of the craftsmanship behind this partnership.

In their inaugural collection, the collaboration’s SKM design comes in the form of a comfortable hybrid model. Made of pebble leather uppers and a patterned wool fabric over the toe box. The bulky Vibram lug sole adds extra traction and sturdiness to the design, giving the wearers more freedom to move around on any terrain. Complete with classic laces on the top, these derby-style shoes are an instant classic that can serve in casual dressier settings. Also included in this collection is a classic clog wrapped in a classic Pendleton wool design with leather handles. The first hybrid model comes in Pendleton’s Harding pattern and black, as well as, Riorancho and dark brown. The same colorways are available for their clog option.

New York Men’s Day Debut: Max Esmail honors the artist’s creative vision
Creating a space for innovation at NYMD with Max Esmail
Max Esmail Hero

New York Fashion Week has been a staple in the fashion industry's calendar since World War 2, where designers and brands come together to show off for the press and the buyers who drive the industry's narrative. However, New York Men's Day is much younger as it only appeared in 2014 to showcase young menswear talent looking to break into the industry and take the style world by storm. Essential menswear brands with a story to tell, like Y.Chroma by Max Israel, make splashes in the small space with innovative designs and a goal to implant inspiration in your mind about your style. There were multiple firsts this year, and the Max Esmail NYMD Debut became a space for the creative.
The creative's energy

With the NYC skyline as a backdrop, Max Esmail introduced his Fall and Winter 2025 collection, 55 Bond St. Inspired by his studio; it became a place for creative innovation steeped in an artistic design influenced by modernist architecture and Bauhaus principles. Using leather, marble, and tubular steel, inspired by designers such as Breuer, Kjaerholm, and Mies van der Rohe, Esmail brings sheik minimalist menswear to an ordinarily inaccessible high fashion world of New York Fashion Week. Standouts of the collection are a handful of leather jackets and other outerwear for every moment of your time in blustery New York City and suiting, putting a modern twist on classic silhouettes. While this is a debut for NYMD, a collection like 55 Bond St. looks to the future as a brand ready to spring onto the scene for years to come.

Kizik releases the hands-free Athens 2 sneaker
Look, Mom! No hands! Slip on the coolest hands-free sneakers
Kizik Athens 2 slip on sneaker

One of the most challenging things about living in a tiny shoebox apartment is the fact that I don't have a good space for a bench to put on my shoes — not unless I want a trip hazard or bruised toes. As someone who has lived in an RV on and off for 7 years, I'm not a stranger to small spaces or making things work. That said, I'm always on the lookout for brand-new products that can make the adventuring easier. So when I saw that hands-free footwear company Kizik just released an updated version of their best-selling Athens shoe, I had to take a look and see what was different.

This second version builds on what made the original Athens great, adding significant upgrades to the Athens 2 based on customer feedback and innovations. The Athens 2 still has the iconic patented Kizik "cage" technology that made these shoes easy as pie to slip into without needing to sit down, tie the laces, or do that weird chicken dance that we've all done trying to get the heel of the shoe on our feet.

How HAVEN made an ASICS sneaker dark and stealthy
ASICS, HAVEN release new sneaker

While it’s common to find a quality running shoe in ASICS’ lineup, it’s rare to see the brand offer a stealthy and technical option. In their latest collaboration with HAVEN, the athletic brand has turned a new leaf to create a more techy design that boasts a darker and edgy look. Taking on one of ASICS’ older running designs, the latest collaborative design is transformed into a modern and cutting-edge shoe full of high-performance features. Coupled with a darker hue, there’s no doubt this new design is a brand-new feel for ASICS, making it even more of a special collaboration. For those looking for a more contemporary performance sneaker, the HAVEN x ASICS partnership has produced the must-have shoe for the season. 
A new look for the Gel-Nimbus 10.1

Using the 2008-era Gel-Nimbus 10.1, the newest collaboration between HAVEN and ASICS is about adding technical features that elevate the shoe’s performance. Now including layered mesh, carbon fiber details, and reflective accents, the new sneaker exudes an edgier design that also helps accommodate the natural bone structure of the foot. The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 comes equipped with a dual-layer EVA foam midsole, GEL technology inserts, and a TRUSSTIC system to add advanced cushion and support to the sneaker. Donning a black and grey combination, the sneaker is inspired by urban concrete shadows for a moodier touch. This stealthy design will be available for fans on February 14 via ASICS’ web store. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, faithful fans of the athletic company will adore the latest collaboration that fuses each brand’s strongest characteristic.
