On its own, Merrell is responsible for many footwear must-haves for outdoor explorers. In a new partnership with the Japanese-designed Snow Peak brand, the brand is expanding to new levels. Known for their minimalist approach to camping and exploring, Snow Peak has joined this collaboration to create the ultimate sleek sneaker that will rule the trails. The duo has incorporated Gore-Tex technology to upgrade the partnership even more, making it a durable and practical option for your journeys. Taking on one of Merrell’s most recognizable silhouettes, the pair has created a new elevated adventure sneaker far from your typical trail running shoe.

Hit the trails in the new Snow Peak x Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX

With a new iteration of Merrell’s Moab Speed 2, Snow Peak’s minimalist and practical approach takes shape to deliver the ultimate trail running sneaker. Equipped with Gore-Tex technology and abrasion resistance, this sneaker is durable enough to withstand rough terrain and any weather. Dark grey takes over the base of the design, with tonal shades adding some contrast to the look. On the bottom, the Vibram outsole offers extra grip for even more security and safety. A PU footbed and EVA midsole deliver more comfort and cushion to last all day. Those looking to add a practical and durable sneaker to their lineup can find the new Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX via Snow Peak’s webstore for $210. Easily wearable as a running/walking shoe or a trail sneaker, this Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX continues to deliver with each iteration.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
