Sperry and PLEASURES redefine nautical footwear with a rugged three-shoe capsule

Sperry and PLEASURES drop a new three-shoe capsule collection

Everyone knows Sperry as the go-to for nautical footwear that stands the test of time. From loafers to boat shoes, the brand is an ultimate staple for elevated leisure shoes. While men are still looking for pieces that add a sophisticated touch to their wardrobes, it’s not enough to serve only one purpose. Far from having multiple options that serve various purposes, more users are looking for sleek pieces that can be dressed up or down. And while nautical-inspired footwear remains the hallmark of the summer season, it’s time that this timeless category receives a makeover that turns it into a year-round choice. Along with collaborator PLEASURES, Sperry unveils the second capsule collection with the Los Angeles-based brand, all about adding an edge to the prim-and-proper nautical shoe. 

Sperry and PLEASURES ditch the sea for the street with a new collection

Introducing a new three-shoe capsule collection, Sperry and PLEASURES are channeling the charm of classic silhouettes and spinning them to fit with the ruggedness of the city. One of the most recognizable designs in the mini collection is the Sperry x PLEASURES 3-Eye Vibram Turn-Lock Lug Boat. The lug boat retains the classic shape of a boat shoe, but gets a revamp with supple leather inside and out. Fitted with the Vibram 884C Bristol Lake outsole for maximum traction, this sleek construction is redesigned with lace-free turn-lock dial closures.

Elsewhere, the  Sperry x PLEASURES 3-Eye Vibram Hike reimagines everything you know about Sperry’s old-school style and transforms it into a hiker boot. Featuring a soft calf leather lining and insole for added comfort, the shoe dons the Vibram 639C Vybrid Hike outsole for durability and traction across any terrain. Rounding out the collection is the Sperry x PLEASURES 3-Eye Vibram Reflective Cold-Bay. Utilizing a reflective leather-and-rubber upper with Thinsulate insulation, this design marks an in-between point between the previous styles. Complete with a Vibram 262K New Bifida outsole, reflective hiker laces, and a leather insole, this shoe combines comfort, warmth, and style. All three designs will be released on November 18 via PLEASURES’ webstore and will also arrive at Sperry’s online store on November 19. The three designs range in price from $150 to $225.

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.
