For the brand Paraboot, the Micheal Derby shoe is only one of the most iconic designs in their rotation. Established over 115 years ago, Paraboot has become an understated go-to brand and the Micheal shoe is their star. Just as Paraboot has silently wowed the masses, Studio Nicholson has added luxury and style to wardrobes in small yet significant ways. Both sophisticated brands have joined forces to refresh the beloved Micheal Derby shoe in a way only they can. Although it is being marketed for next year’s Summer/Spring collection, this collaborative shoe is worthy of wearing now. An almost hybrid of a slipper and sneaker, this design is perfect for those who are always on the go but still want to look dressed up even if they’re in a rush.

In a new collaboration between Studio Nicholson and Paraboot, the “Michael’ Derby shoe is getting a slight upgrade worthy of both brands. Handcrafted in Paraboot’s French factory, the shoe is made from a sheepskin leather lining and full-grained deer leather that oozes quality and luxury in every corner. The shoe’s construction utilizes traditional Noreweign welt stitching and includes a chunky natural rubber sole for extra traction on the bottom. The brands opted for chic white cotton laces that add the perfect ruggedness to the design. The ‘Michael’ Derby shoe is now available via Studio Nicholson’s web store, flagship stores, and selected stockists for $655. This design comes in a chic dark brown tone that’ll work perfectly with almost any look you have in mind.

Seiko’s new watch is a tiny tribute to a tinier Honda scooter
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The folks at Seiko have a fun one on their hands: the 5 Sports Field x Honda MOTOCOMPO Limited Edition, a 36.4mm field watch built entirely around Honda’s cult “trunk bike.”

It’s a tribute to a weird Japanese cult scooter (more on that later), and the color scheme goes hard to match. A bright yellow dial cribs from the scooter’s original color, with a black band running across the center carrying the Honda logo — a nod to the MOTOCOMPO’s protective side bars.

Your summer shades are tired, it may be time for an upgrade with KREWE’s expert advice
Accessories, Sunglasses, Face

There are few things better than putting together a great look, checking yourself in the mirror, and then going for that perfect pair of sunglasses to slide on and complete the outfit. Your shades are the completion of a transformation from indoor to outdoor. They are functional in that they protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. And they keep you from getting that annoying headache resulting from squinting all day. But they are also an amazing stylistic opportunity. They can become your statement piece; just ask Elton John if they are simply functional. But how do you select the right sunglasses to upgrade your collection? I was recently in the KREWE store down in the Meatpacking District and discovered that shopping for shades can be more than just scrolling online; it can be an experience unlike other shopping outings. After my experience in the store, I asked KREWE to spread the knowledge for shopping for new shades.

The best sunglasses are the ones you instinctively reach for day after day. But if your current pair is starting to feel a little too familiar, it may be time for an upgrade. – Kate McCabe, Vice President of Brand Marketing, KREWE

At some point, someone at Panerai looked at one of the brand’s signature 44mm cushion cases and decided it needed to lose weight — a lot of it.

The result is the new Luminor Marina PAM01707, built entirely from Carbotech, Panerai’s proprietary carbon composite made by pressing thin layers of carbon fiber together with PEEK, a high-performance polymer.
