PF Flyers X Ball and Buck Center Lo Sneakers

PF Flyers, the classic American shoe company perhaps best known to young adults (read Millennials) as the coveted sneakers of Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez from the delightful early ’90s baseball-nostalgi film The Sandlot, has teamed up with men’s lifestyle brand and retailer Ball and Buck for a late summer collaboration that has resulted in the best sneaker of the season. A throwback to the days when kids and boys tooled around without supervision and got into all sorts of escapades and adventures. Taking that old-school essence of freedom, agility, and athleticism that was imbued with every PF Flyer hi and lo-top pair of sneakers, the two brands have pumped up the nostalgia factor and created an American Classic once again entirely made in America.

Holding true to PF Flyer classic design and styling, the shoes is made from white ballistic nylon, features a DESMA injected polyuerethane midsole to proivde ample cushioning, sports 12.29 oz canvas, 100% waxed cotton laces, an orange footbed, Debossed roger logo on the heel, an original Camo lining on the heel cap, and it was all made in the United States right in the great New England city of Boston, Massachusetts.

“Four years ago we were honored when PF asked us to be their launch partner for the debut of their Made in USA collection that had been out of production for over 40 years. Now we couldn’t be more excited to be partnering up again for this unique collaboration. The shoe itself draws inspiration from the incredible heritage of PF, a brand that produced shoes for the Armed Forces back in World War II,” Ball and Buck said in a statement on the recent release.

These kicks not only have a design history behind them, they’ve also got a fashionable future ahead of them. The neutral white coloring along with the tan stripe make this shoe an end of summer style staple. Wear with jeans, khakis, chinos, or shorts; these sneaks will match and look good with nearly any outfit you can conjure.

This incredible chronograph watch just debuted, and you’re going to love it
This luxury watch from Bravur is a stunner
Bravur La Crosa Rosa III

If you're a fan of luxury watches, you may want to take a deep breath before you continue. Bravur, the Swedish watchmaker and cycling enthusiast, just dropped their newest model, The La Corsa Rosa model III, and it's as stunning as you'd come to expect from the manufacturer. The founders, with all their watches, pay homage to The Grand Tour—La Corsa Rosa (nickname for Giro d’Italia), La Grande Boucle (referring to the Tour de France), and La Vuelta (or Vuelta a España)—three of the biggest, most historic bike races in the world. Each watch is hand built in Båstad, Sweden, and the detail and style are nothing short of perfection.

The La Corsa Rosa model III
The new model was inspired by the Giro d'Italia, which is the first Grand Tour of the year. It has a case diameter of 38.2 mm, both beautiful and weighted thoughtfully. The case, made from 316L stainless steel, has been treated with a matte black ceramic coating. The sandwich dial has gorgeous pink accents, an homage to the leader's jersey of the race. Additionally, the tricolor on the sub-dial is a reference to the blue climber's jersey and the purple sprinter's jersey, worn by the rider with the most points in the mountains and sprinters classification.

HEYDUDE Slip-On Shoes Are So Comfortable You Won’t Want to Wear Anything Else
HEYDUDE Sirocco Beige style on dash during relaxing ride.

This content was produced in partnership with HEYDUDE.
As a brand, HEYDUDE is sweeping the nation. Becoming more and more popular with just about every age, and people from every walk of life -- it's the fastest-growing footwear brand in the U.S. and the company will surpass $1B in value real soon. There's a good reason for it. HEYDUDEs are stylish, super comfortable, convenient, and once you try them, you'll fall in love. To understand why, we have to backtrack a little bit.

In warmer weather, flip-flops and sandals are the go-to, not just because they keep your feet cool and open, but also because they're so convenient to put on. You just have to slide your feet right in and off you go. They're not at all stylish, however, and you wouldn't want to wear them with certain outfits. HEYDUDEs fix that problem, and so much more. Known as some of the "cushiest, comfiest, airiest, featheriest, lightest shoes on Earth," these words of praise still don't do these shoes justice. You might be wondering, what makes them so comfortable? What kinds of styles do they offer? We're going to explore precisely that.

Can’t get your hands on a Rolex? We may know why they’re so hard to come by
Everyone's favorite watch brand can be hard to source - here's why
Arm with Rolex Submariner on it

Whether you watch movies, listen to music, or read books, you have likely heard that Rolex watches are the pinnacle of stylish luxury in men's watches. Gorden Gecko sported a Rolex when he became the picture of wealth on Wall Street. Elvis Presley got one of only 100 Rolex King Midas watches for selling out the Houston Astrodome for six straight days. The brand has always been the gold standard in men's luxury.

However, that may not be the case any longer, as the brand seems to be losing its grip on the watch pyramid of superiority.
