The connection between music and fashion has always been strong. Often used as inspiration for one another, this bond has helped create incredible works of art in recent years. In their latest collaboration, PLEASURES and Reebok explore this connection with a new campaign that pays homage to the 70s punk rock era. Known for using music and subculture in their brand, PLEASURES takes on one of Reebok’s most iconic silhouettes to punk rock group Joy Division. Featuring artwork from the brand’s 1979 album Unknown Pleasures, this campaign is one that both sneaker lovers and music enthusiasts can enjoy. Just as Joy Division did in their day, PLEASURES and Reebok look to establish themselves as icons in their respective industries and create a lasting legacy. 

PLEASURES x Joy Division x Reebok Club C

Taking on Reebok’s Club C silhouette, PLEASURES and Reebok have infused Joy Division’s artwork aesthetic into the design to pay homage to the band’s punk rock roots. Donning a black colorway, the album’s waveform artwork is woven into the design in the toe box that flows into the shoe’s midsole upper. A pop of red is added in the shoe’s insoles, along with the co-branding that displays this special partnership. This collaboration is exclusively sold via PLEASURE’s web store for $130. Only available in limited quantities, this shoe won’t be around for long. Whether or not you’re a punk rock fan, this design is a must-have for music and sneaker fans alike. Fusing the excitement of music and fashion, this collaboration is much more than another special edition release.

For the love of Italy: Hockerty releases 14 looks with inspiration from 14 Italian locations
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.

I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.

Citizen is adding a new limited-edition model to its Tsuyosa Shore line, and it’s got a great look to it if I say so myself.

The Tokyo-based watchmaker’s new drop features a deep black dial, with a gradient effect and a textured surface that catches light differently depending on the angle.
