Here are some great options that will help you glide through the rest of your summer.

VANS – sort of the be all end all when it comes to skate shoes. Everyone making slip-ons right now seem to be influenced by them one way or another. Here are some options from the brand that started it all.

So good, we couldn’t choose just one – VANS Classic Slip-On has been updated with soft Torino leather and suede in both Dark Slate Blue and Winetasting red. The perfect end-of-summer / almost-Fall transition sneaker that you can wear with shorts or black jeans. Buy them both here. 

American Eagle Outfitters – Embrace your wild side with these AEO Chevron Printed slip-ons. They’re made from soft cotton canvas and they wont break your piggy bank. Buy them through American Eagle Outfitters.

TOMS – An earthier option – these TOMS Freetown Sabados are what happens when a skater and a hippie have a child. Made with a solid canvas toe front and a perforated mid-to-heel. A bold approach to the brands most relaxed style. Also great for those unbearable August heat waves. Buy a pair here.

Calvin Klein – Langston Slip On Shoe is a basic, no fuss option. It’s also the featured item in their advertising campaign. It’s also on sale – so think fast. Purchase here.

J.D. Fisk makes a more futuristic looking slip on. Made in either black or brown leather with a translucent rubber sole. A quirky twist on an already quirky kick. Purchase through MyHabit.

The best non-alcoholic fall beers to celebrate Sober October
Deschutes

Dry January might be the most popular month for taking a break from alcohol, but Sober October is a close second. If you’re spending this month sans alcohol and you’re getting tired of simply drinking sparkling water, there are options aplenty, especially if you’re usually a beer drinker.

If you didn’t know it already, the non-alcoholic beer world has improved a lot in the last decade. When I first started writing about alcohol twenty years ago, I wrote an article where I taste-tested NA beers and the results were fairly brutal. While I won’t name the beers, pretty much all were fizzy, yellow, and at best fairly flavorless. In essence, they didn’t really taste like beer. That’s definitely not the same today. It’s a whole new world of non-alcoholic beer.

Luminox adds a new chronograph to the Carbon Seal Series
Luminox

Luminox began a long-standing relationship with one of the most elite special forces teams in the world in 1992 when they began making tactical watches for the Navy SEALs. Ever since, they have been the brand on the front lines (or behind them is probably the more appropriate statement) of all of the major conflicts across the globe. The team at Luminox elevated the SEAL watches with the Master Carbon SEAL collection which uses a stronger version of the brand’s CARBONOX. A long-bar carbon fiber compound three times lighter than titanium and twice as strong as standard CARBONOX. They are deepening the collection with a new chronograph, the new 3880.

“The connection to the Navy SEALs is both a legacy and a responsibility. From the very beginning, our watches have been designed to perform under the toughest conditions. That expectation continues to shape everything we do—not only for SEAL teams, but also for adventurers around the world who rely on their gear when pushing their limits.” – Pierrick Marcoux, Group Product Director at Luminox

Hockerty is prepping us for the weather changes with their new tech fabrics
Hockerty

Wearing a suit is about putting your best foot forward. It is about walking into a room and everyone knowing before they ever speak to you that you are the one they need. The guy for the job. The trustworthy man. The one who deserves the respect without demanding it. It is the whole purpose of dressing for success. It is the reason that your first impression is so important. So, what happens when your image is ruined by things outside your control? Do you lose the job? Is your trustworthiness in question? What happens to the respect? It is better not to find out. Prepare yourself.

So, of course you can wear an umbrella to protect you from the rain. But that doesn’t protect you from the guy spilling his coffee on you. It doesn’t protect you from the car splashing you as it drives by. Instead, you need to invest in tech fabric. The kind moisture doesn’t soak into, but rolls off. That is where Hockerty’s new collection comes in. The tech fabrics they now offer are for the guy on the move.
