It wasn’t long ago when Puma and Salehe Bembury announced the designer’s increased involvement in the brand’s design department. Since then, the duo has treated fans to a few special collaborative designs, including an exclusive sneaker just in time for the NBA Finals. However, for those yearning for another collaborative model, the time has come for a fresh new design. Expected to make its runway appearance during Paris Fashion Week, the latest sneaker from the pair is a splash of color with plenty of detail and style. With stylish warm tones, the latest sneaker launch is precisely what you would expect from Salehe Bembury and Puma’s partnership. The first running sneaker to come out of this collaboration, the new Puma sneaker is the perfect way to add color to your performance lineup. 

Time to meet the Salehe Bembury x Puma Velum

For their latest partnership, Salehe Bembury and Puma are releasing the Velum sneaker. Using orange engineered mesh uppers, the overall design of the Velum sneaker is accented by tones of brown, yellow, red, and grey to create a warm tone composition. Using a membrane-inspired overlay, the sneaker appears to have a mix of materials and structure. Co-branding is found on the tongue, while also appearing on the medial heel. Nitro Foam technology is expected to cushion the sneaker, giving it the ultimate comfort. The Salehe Bembury x Puma Velum will make its first appearance at a pop-up in Paris on June 25, while its global release is expected to hit shelves later this year.

Adopt your Wimbledon Whites with these stellar summer pieces
Summer is the time for the all white ensemble, take your lead from the best of the best on the court
Adult, Male, Man

The Wimbledon Championships are the oldest of the four Grand Slam tournaments. They have been around since the late 1800s, and if you know anything about events that old, they are steeped in customs and traditions. While I am a huge fan of customs and traditions, I have always thought it odd when players of high-octane sports wear white. It feels like keeping sweat stains would be an utter nightmare. Having said that, Wimbledon requires all participants to wear white. It is what has come to be called the Wimbledon Whites. Now, I am also a huge fan of dressing the part, so I will confess to being guilty of planning an all-white ensemble just in case I ever land an invite to the most prestigious tennis match in the world. Now, if you are cooler than I and have already landed an invite to the tournament, then I have put together the elements of the perfect Wimbledon look.

Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh
How long should you wear your underwear? An expert gives us insight.
Clothing, Undershirt, Adult

I am on an underwear kick right now. I can't help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don't think about it often (hopefully you are a little bit after reading my last article with David), I have discovered we actually DO think about it in some ways. We just need to change how we think about it. Ladies, go ahead, ask your guy what underwear he is wearing right now. There will be two answers. 1 - "No clue, what did you buy me?" 2 - "My favorites." We're weird about it. We all have at least one pair we wear all the time. It is our favorite pair. Then we have the others, the ones that are just the day-to-day. And finally, we have the ones we never want to wear, but it's a laundry emergency, so we must. In all likelihood, this pair has been with us since Mom bought them for us. That's right, yeeeeeeeears ago.

Fellas, it's gross. I often think about a movie quote from Smokin' Aces, by the always-great Jeremy Piven. "There is not a laundry detergent or dry cleaning product known to man that will get that out. Suffice it to say, some sh*t, don't wash out." There is a moment in time when your underwear is done for, beyond saving. But, when do you know when to give up on old faithful? David and I hashed it out.
