Reebok and PLEASURES tell a story through their newest collaboration

Long gone are the days when footwear was just about another pair of shoes. As buyers become more selective in their purchases, brands have turned to storytelling to capture their attention. As with any art medium, designers have long used style to express their stories in creative ways. Such is the case in the newest collaboration between Reebok and PLEASURES. The second release between the pair this year, the latest launch tells the story of the emotional progression of love, lust, and forgiveness. Using the Hammer Street silhouette and the Premier Trinity as the base for the collection, the duo has delivered something more than just another pair of shoes. Both silhouettes are rooted in soccer but have been reworked to become new lifestyle options for the modern era. With craftsmanship, performance, and meaning, this collaboration is a winning experience. 

Reebok and Pleasures drop their newest collaboration of 2025

As Alex James, Co-Founder of PLEASURES, states, “This collection mirrors the human experience: the thrill of love, the illusions of lust, and the redemption of forgiveness.” To achieve this message, the duo has revamped the Hammer Street silhouette with two bold new colorways. Inspired by soccer cleats, the sneaker now comes in either Black Velvet or Silver Crinkle colorways. The Black Velvet iteration includes a plush velvet upper, custom tongue label, tonal laces, and a terry cloth lining. The ‘Silver Crinkle’ version comes with a metallic crinkle leather upper contrasted by black laces, a leather lining, branded window, and custom footbed. 
For their second footwear design in this collection, Reebok and Pleasures deliver a lifestyle version of the Premier Trinity. This silhouette features a mixed-material upper of shaved pony hair, Cordura, and suede. The design is rounded out by custom toe box branding, terry cloth lining, tonal laces, and a custom footbed. The two designs will be unveiled in person for the first time at ComplexCon in Las Vegas from October 25-27. They will then launch exclusively via PLEASURES.com on October 28, before a global release on Reebok and select specialty retailers on October 30.

Breitling’s new Top Time is a wearable tribute to the Aston Martin DB5
The new watches rep the iconic Bond car right down to subdials shaped like its dashboard gauges.
Car, Watch, Man

Breitling just released a trio of heaters: the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a three-edition collaboration with the British carmaker. The connection between the Swiss watchmaker and the British car company runs back to 1965, when a Top Time ref. 2002 appeared on Sean Connery's wrist in Thunderball, worn alongside the DB5 — the first Q-modified watch in the Bond series. It's a nice bit of trivia that the DB5 and that Top Time shared the screen in the same film, and both went on to outlive the movie by decades.

The car cues go deeper than the "squircle" gauge-shaped subdials: a wooden inner ring nods to the DB5's steering wheel, and each edition rides on a hand-colored gradient calfskin strap meant to read like automotive upholstery. All three run on Breitling's in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback and finished with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor. The case measures 41mm. The editions are divvied up by material and rarity. Stainless steel with a silver dial is limited to 1,022 pieces and sticks closest to the original ref. 2002, while steel with a platinum bezel and black lacquered dial drops to 315 pieces.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches
These 5 space themed watches will have you seeing stars
Accessories, Strap, Wristwatch

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don't believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.

Legendary designer has a project coming up you may not know about
Legendary designer, Tom Ford, is writing and directing a film adapting the Anne Rice novel, Cry to Heaven
Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

Tom Ford is a name that every fashionisto knows well. He is the top of the top when you talk about famous suit makers. He began his career changing the landscape of multiple brands, including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, before launching his own self-named brand of his own in 2005. The brand has remained a mainstay in the industry for the last 20 years, including the acquisition of Estée Lauder in 2022 for an estimated $2.8 billion. For the movie buffs in the room, you also likely know about Tom Ford because he became the exclusive tailor and suitmaker for Daniel Craig's James Bond for Quantum of Solace in 2008. He carried that gig all the way through the series and defined men's style for two decades.

Now, for the real cinephiles in the room, you may also know that Tom Ford himself is a movie buff and entered the industry as a writer and a director in 2009 by directing A Single Man with Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Then again in 2016 with Nocturnal Animals with Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Michael Shannon. Of course, the wardrobe was stellar in both, and we will get a chance to see his talents onscreen again this fall with a new Anne Rice adaptation, Cry to Heaven.
