Following their first collaboration in 2024, Reebok and White Mountaineering are reuniting for another stellar partnership. Along with the Japanese label, Reebok is taking on their famed Classic Leather for a remix that gives it a retro update with plenty of techy finishes. Far from their minimalist and subdued first partnership, this new collaborative sneaker takes a new spin with stylish details that elevate an iconic silhouette. The latest collaboration in two new neutral shades is another example of how the retro sneaker trend has continued flourishing and doesn’t seem to have an end date. Showcasing their “Unplugged” campaign, the duo’s new release is about being intentional with your time and style choices.

“Our brand is often associated with active scenes, but this time, we wanted to show how our collaboration shoes fit a more relaxed environment,” says White Mountaineering founder Yosuke Aizawa. “The soft mood of the campaign perfectly complements the color palette of the shoes.” Crafted in brown or grey shades, the WM x Reebok Classic Leather shoe uses an upper composed of a premium leather, suede, and nubuck mix. Contrasting trims around the design give the shoe an extra touch of dimension and style, along with the texturized materials that compose the sneaker. Complete with a custom co-branded tongue label, branding wordmark on the heel, and a custom footbed, this design represents the specialness of the collaboration. Further sneaker details include terry lining, tonal laces, and a custom branded shoe box. Set for an April 11 release, the remixed Classic Leather will be available for $190 on the White Mountaineering and Reebok web stores.

Bulova’s new Shelby Racer Chronograph is inspired by the Daytona Coupe
Car, Watch, Man

We are fully in race-car-watch-season, and Bulova is joining the pack with their newest release. The New York company is back at it with Carroll Shelby Licensing for a new limited-edition chronograph.

This one’s the Shelby Racer, built around the 50th Anniversary Aluminum Edition Daytona Coupe. That’s the aluminum-bodied version of the car that made Shelby the only American manufacturer to win the FIA Sports Car World Championship in 1965. (If you’ve seen Ford v Ferrari, you already know the rivalry — that movie covered Shelby’s Le Mans campaign a year later, but the Daytona Coupe is where the beef with Ferrari actually started.)

The Gentleman’s Guide to Wedding Attire
Wedding toast

As a menswear writer, I take pride in snazzy dressing. You can imagine my chagrin when I showed up to a recent wedding as the worst-dressed groomsman. It had been a perfect storm of sartorial mishaps. I’d slimmed down since the last time I wore black tie, leaving the jacket and cummerbund baggy. My favorite cuff links had vanished on a work trip. To complete the fiasco, my tuxedo shirt bore an archipelago of merlot stains from a Christmas party in late ’25.

Fortunately, I had the chance to salvage my dignity at another wedding a few weeks later. I rallied like Rocky. Rush alterations. New cuff links. A crisp Marcella shirt. Polished black shoes. I went from disheveled schlub to black-tie stud.

TAG Heuer just brought back its best Japanese racing collab
Watch, Dial, Logo

TAG Heuer just announced the second Carrera collaboration with Team Ikuzawa and Bamford Watch Department, three years after their first one together — and this time, they went back to a stopwatch.

The watch is built on TAG Heuer’s 39mm Carrera Glassbox, the modern take on the original 1963 Carrera that swaps a bezel for a highly domed sapphire crystal. But the design here pulls specifically from the Heuer Roadmaster, a vintage timing stopwatch Team Ikuzawa used trackside through the ’70s and ’80s, not from any particular car or race.
