When it comes to classic boat shoes, there’s no brand more focused on perfecting the timeless silhouette than Sperry. A popular casual shoe, the boat shoe is an easy way to elevate your casual looks without sacrificing your sophisticated style. To celebrate Sperry’s continued presence as a standard boat shoe, the brand has joined forces with Japanese brand BEAMS PLUS for a new collaboration that takes fans back in time. In honor of Sperry’s 90th anniversary, both brands are taking on an archival boat shoe that brings it to a new generation. With an updated look and fresh feel, the newest Sperry x BEAMS PLUS shoes are set to become your new favorite once summer hits.

Using Sperry’s Circular Vamp Oxford silhouette as the base, this collaborative shoe gives a major nod to the design created in 1935. In this new release, the shoe has been updated with Nylon uppers and will be available in white, red, or navy hues. Besides a heavy-duty upper, the shoe comes equipped with the brand’s Razor-Cut Wave-Siping in the sole for increased traction. While not much differs in the rest of the design, the increased traction and uppers allow users to feel more secure and protected in the shoe. BEAMS PLUS and Sperry will also release an accompanying apparel and hat collection that mimics the celebratory nautical style showcased in the new footwear. Those looking to get a head start on their summer footwear will be able to purchase the new Sperry x BEAMS Plus on February 13 at select specialty retailers worldwide and the Sperry and BEAMS web stores.

Bulova’s new Shelby Racer Chronograph is inspired by the Daytona Coupe
Car, Watch, Man

We are fully in race-car-watch-season, and Bulova is joining the pack with their newest release. The New York company is back at it with Carroll Shelby Licensing for a new limited-edition chronograph.

This one’s the Shelby Racer, built around the 50th Anniversary Aluminum Edition Daytona Coupe. That’s the aluminum-bodied version of the car that made Shelby the only American manufacturer to win the FIA Sports Car World Championship in 1965. (If you’ve seen Ford v Ferrari, you already know the rivalry — that movie covered Shelby’s Le Mans campaign a year later, but the Daytona Coupe is where the beef with Ferrari actually started.)

The Gentleman’s Guide to Wedding Attire
Wedding toast

As a menswear writer, I take pride in snazzy dressing. You can imagine my chagrin when I showed up to a recent wedding as the worst-dressed groomsman. It had been a perfect storm of sartorial mishaps. I’d slimmed down since the last time I wore black tie, leaving the jacket and cummerbund baggy. My favorite cuff links had vanished on a work trip. To complete the fiasco, my tuxedo shirt bore an archipelago of merlot stains from a Christmas party in late ’25.

Fortunately, I had the chance to salvage my dignity at another wedding a few weeks later. I rallied like Rocky. Rush alterations. New cuff links. A crisp Marcella shirt. Polished black shoes. I went from disheveled schlub to black-tie stud.

TAG Heuer just brought back its best Japanese racing collab
Watch, Dial, Logo

TAG Heuer just announced the second Carrera collaboration with Team Ikuzawa and Bamford Watch Department, three years after their first one together — and this time, they went back to a stopwatch.

The watch is built on TAG Heuer’s 39mm Carrera Glassbox, the modern take on the original 1963 Carrera that swaps a bezel for a highly domed sapphire crystal. But the design here pulls specifically from the Heuer Roadmaster, a vintage timing stopwatch Team Ikuzawa used trackside through the ’70s and ’80s, not from any particular car or race.
