Now that we are steamrolling into the spring, it is nearly time for us to bring our best boat shoes back out of the closet, pair them with shorts, and hop on a boat. Of course, if you have a favorite boat shoe, there is a good chance that they are from Sperry. After nearly a century of excellence, the Sperry x BEAMS PLUS collaboration brings us the pinnacle of Americana and prep.

“This collaboration with Sperry is a tribute to our long-standing partnership and a celebration of their 90th Anniversary! Sperry has been a cornerstone of Ivy Style, Prep Style, and BEAMS PLUS, and we’re incredibly grateful for their support and dedicated fanbase,” says Hideki Mizobata, Director of BEAMS PLUS. “To commemorate this milestone, we’ve expanded the collection with apparel under the theme ‘Head to Shoes.’ We’ve put so much heart into the specially designed original fabrics and styles for this collaboration. We hope this collection resonates with Sperry enthusiasts and all those who appreciate Ivy and Prep fashion.”

While there are some great apparel pieces, the centerpoint of the collection is the CVO, which pays homage to Sperry’s iconic Circular Vamp Oxford.

“Standing on 90 years of history, the CVO is a timeless icon of American style,” says Jonathan Frankel, President of Sperry. “The Sperry x BEAMS PLUS Nylon CVO celebrates the rich heritage of the Paul Sperry original and offers a piece of fashion history reimagined with a modern aesthetic by the Americana experts at BEAMS PLUS.”

J-Frost x New Era launches Hidden Messages collaboration for MLB
A combination of love for the game and love for the home town

If you've been a baseball fan as long as I have (1989 was the first time I remember watching a game, and I've been hooked ever since), then you know that what you wear to a game is crucial. It also says a lot about you and what kind of fan you are. One of my favorite things to do with my brother, who shares my love of the game, is to go to a game and point out all of the obscure player jerseys we see on fans. Guys who either played for the team in our childhoods or guys who played for a short time but made an impact. One of the other things I love is unique team apparel that means something. The new J-Frost x New Era Hidden Messages collaboration is the exact kind of thing one of us would tap the other on the shoulder and point out at a baseball game.

Although Saucony has recently released its premium footwear line, that doesn’t mean the brand has lost touch with one of its favorite retailers. To celebrate the release of a new Triumph design, Saucony has partnered with Nordstrom for an exclusive sneaker that embodies the brand’s chic, modern, and classic style. Created by New York creator Alex Dymond, this new iteration stays true to the Triumph look while adding a few details that help it stand out from the rest. Along with a 30-second video, the new release introduces a global campaign that celebrates running together and the community the sport fosters. Under the name “Run As One,” the brand looks to establish itself as more than an athletic brand, but also as a point of connection for people to come together.

So while you may want to hit the interview circuit as soon as possible to land a career, Eton is looking to help you upgrade your wardrobe before you run off and ruin your chances by looking like a frat boy. The Eton Bro to Pro collection is everything a college graduate needs to look like a man with enough experience in the corporate world to outshine the competition.
