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.

Nike’s latest Vomero designs double down on plush performance
Nike announces two new Vomero sneakers
nike vomero premium

When Nike goes big, they truly know how to go even bigger. When it comes to their Vomero series, Nike puts this theory to the test with maximum cushioning that athletes have come to love. Whether you’re a professional or novice, the Vomero series is known for aiding performance and recovery while protecting your foot upon impact. Now, the series is getting two new additions that take the maximum cushioning to another level. The Vomero Plus and Premium are the latest additions to the series, which are as large as they come. While we are accustomed to seeing brands like Hoka with over-the-top silhouettes, these new Nike sneakers rival even their cushioniest model. Besides the added cushion, both releases also include all of the performance features you need to unlock your inner athlete. 

Nike goes bigger and better with the Vomero sneakers

Celadon Century Cloisonné collection: A masterful fusion of Chinese design and luxury horology
Celadon’s new Century Collection merges ancient Chinese cloisonné art with Swiss mechanical excellence in just eight pieces per design.
'Double Dragons' from the Celadon Century Cloisonné collection

The Celadon Century Cloisonné collection stands as a testament to horology, imbuing new life into the centuries old Chinese enamel technique known as cloisonné. To view these dials is to be witness to a diminutive masterpiece of ancient artistry, handcrafted by artisans layering vibrant glass pastes within delicate gold or silver wire partitions before exposing them to multiple high-temperature firings. The end result is nothing short of a marvel – a visually intoxicating display of color and light, featuring the collection's signature phoenix and dragon motifs. These stand as symbols of renewal and power in Chinese culture as they appear to float just above the dial's surface. This intense process requires more than 30 hours of labor for each dial, with no room for imperfections.

Swiss precision lies beneath the surface
