It’s no secret that Prada knows how to create out-of-the-box trends and statement pieces that catch everyone’s attention. While many of their pieces can be seen as wearable art rather than practical, their latest release might be just the finishing piece your wardrobe needs. Unknown for their footwear lineups, Prada’s newest sneaker is all about being a practical shoe you can take anywhere. These sneakers aren’t just for show, despite their similar silhouette to ballerina shoes. Subtle and lowkey in their presentation, Prada’s latest release might be the perfect shoe to keep up with your style, no matter where you go.

Introducing Prada’s ‘Collapse’ sneaker

Crafted on the heels of a slender sneaker trend, Prada’s “Collapse” sneaker is about maximizing style with as little as possible. Crafted with elasticized heels, a nylon midfoot, and a suede heel and toe cap, this sneaker is ideal for travelers looking to save space but don’t want to sacrifice style. A removable leather insole allows users to adjust the shoe to their liking and comfort. With the ultimate retro sneaker touch, Prada’s ‘Collapse’ shoe doesn’t lose any sense of the trends, despite its slimmer silhouette. Available in six colorways that range from neutral to bold, no outfit wouldn’t fit. Those looking to chime in the slim sneaker trend can purchase the ‘Collapse’ sneaker via Prada’s web store for $995. As with many of Prada’s items, there’s no doubt that this sneaker will set the standard for footwear trends soon, meaning fans should hurry to grab their own. Whether you’re looking for dressy sneakers or something that won’t take up space in your luggage, Prada’s ‘Collapse’ is one of the shoes to watch in the upcoming year.

The ‘Dad Reset’ is on the horizon: Megan Collins leads the charge

Men are taking ownership over what they wear and the founder of Style Girlfriend is here to help

Person, Sitting, Adult

One of the most frustrating moments in any man's style journey is when your wardrobe starts to feel stale. No matter what you do, you feel like everything you put on is old, boring, or tired. You try to switch it up. You pair it differently. It just lost its luster. The truth is, it happens to all of us. But the people who struggle with it the most are middle-aged men. With a specific focus on dads. Middle-aged men are too young to resign themselves to not caring about their look anymore. They are too old to dive into the trends with the changing of the fashion winds. So many of them throw in the towel. Add to that overwhelming feeling being a busy father, and there is just no way to spend the time and energy on rebuilding a wardrobe. That is where Megan Collins comes in. Her business, Style Girlfriend, takes men and restores their confidence from the ground up with new, elevated, and evolved stylistic choices.

When you have one outfit you love, you wear it. When you wear it, you notice how much better you feel. Then, you want another outfit that gives you that same feeling. That's how confidence builds. Not all at once, but one good decision at a time. - Megan Collins, Founder, Style Girlfriend

Shinola’s new blacked-out Mackinac Night Race revives a rare sailing complication

The Detroit brand's new limited edition puts a one-of-a-kind forged carbon dial on a yacht timer — the countdown built for sailboat starts.

Wristwatch, Arm, Rope

Shinola has made watches about Detroit, about the Apollo program, and about a lake monster. Its newest one is about a sailboat race, and damn, is it good-looking.

The Detroit-based brand is launching the Mackinac Night Race, a limited edition built around the yacht timer — the countdown complication used to time the start of a sailing race, aka one of watchmaking's more specialized tricks. The name nods to the Great Lakes maritime history the watch draws on (so not technically an official race tie-in).

The West is a statement look with TAFT’s new edit

TAFT Longhorn collection gives you a stylish look with a little western flare

Clothing, Footwear, Shoe

One of the most iconic ways a man can stand out is to make a statement with his style. Now, this isn't as easy as it sounds. Most of the time, if a man doesn't know what he is doing when he goes to make a statement, he goes overboard. Colors, patterns, textures, they can all work together or battle each other out for attention and cause problems. For instance, wearing a bright color combined with a crazy pattern can make you look more like an optical illusion than a stylish man. You look like you are cosplaying The Joker instead of methodically piecing together pieces that are working together to give an outfit depth. One of the tricks I have always loved to incorporate with my looks is a statement shoe. A typical everyday outfit can be elevated easily with a shoe standing out with color or pattern. One of my favorite brands to go to when I want to do that is TAFT. They are the best in the game for a statement shoe, and their new edit is a way to capitalize on that idea.
