Sunglasses to feel awesome in by Surface to Air

We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the fashionably late arrival of summer this year than with the inaugural eyewear collection of one of our favorite brands. Surface to Air’s new sunnies collection comprises 11 styles that fuse elements of the failsafe classics we love, with the kind of super fresh updates that we crave each season. The only hardship is picking your favorites, so we’ve whittled the list down to our top five styles. God we’re good to you.

  1.  Glacier Available in classic tortoiseshell or an awesome mushroom hue, these preppy frames will merge harmoniously with your entire wardrobe. Featuring vintage-style flat pins and a keyhole nose bridge, the Glacier will retain its fresh appeal from summer to summer.
  2. Zenit If achingly cool is your thing, look no further than the Zenit. Crafted from thick hand polished acetate, these bold black frames are an over-sized version of the classic wayfarer. For best results, wear with a white t-shirt, slightly slick hair and a hint of attitude.
  3. Titan A touch old world gentleman, a touch 1990s nonchalance, these circular metal frames are surprisingly flattering. The polished acetate temples make for a ‘trendy’ albeit distinguished statement. Wear with a varisty jacket or classical bomber for maximum effect.
  4. Troopers This style is all about optimal fit and perfectly contoured lines. Perhaps more of a casual statement, these frames will segue from a beach to city traipsing smoothly. We love the navy and sulphur colour-way.
  5. Vektor Inspired by Roy Orbison’s iconic 1960s rocker style, the Vektor design is not for the faint hearted. The flat top wayfarer shape feels pretty retro, though the reflective mirrored lenses and thick hand polished acetate frames bring them back to 2013.

ASICS newest boot is far from your classic hiking shoe
ASICS releases new sneaker-boot
pair of black suede sneaker boots

It’s no surprise to find an endless supply of classic chunky hiking sneakers under ASICS’ lineup. The athletic company has long become known for its classic ‘90s-style techy sneakers that can easily handle most journeys. While the brand has changed things with some bolder collaborations, its newest release is far from what you typically find in its catalog. Taking the form of a boot, the latest release is about adding military strength, durability, and design for a rugged and stable shoe. Although the design seems to step out of the norm for ASICS, the boot continues the same premium quality and craftsmanship you seek out of your performance footwear. 
Meet ASICS’ new sneaker-boot hybrid

With their latest release, ASICS’ takes on a sneaker-boot hybrid that invokes some of their most rugged and bulky features yet. Taking on the previously released GEL-YETI TOKYO HI GTX, ASICS is redesigning its nonnative collaboration for a sleeker and darker look. Covered in a black suede upper with GORE-TEX lining, the sneaker boot has both durability and chicness that’s hard to find on the trails. Matte black hardware and contrast stitching allows the design to exude a subtle sleekness emphasizing the premium craftsmanship. While the hybrid design looks and feels luxurious, it remains a practical choice with a quick lace system that gives users easy access. A rugged outsole helps maintain traction and balance, no matter what terrain you’re exploring. This new hue is set to be released via ASICS’ website on February 10 and will retail around $219. While the initial release of this silhouette came as a shock to all, the new colorway evokes the feel of a different type of sneaker boot. While not changing much of the design or features, this new GEL-YETI TOKYO HI GTX is a must-have for all hiking fans.

In 2019, LOEWE embarked on the retro sneaker trend with the release of its trendy Ballet Runners. As one of the first to draw inspiration from the archives, LOEWE’s Ballet Runner became one of the standards for retro footwear and ushered in many similar designs across the industry. While the first iteration of the trainers is still a staple for the retro sneaker trend, LOEWE has decided to once again go back in time for its newest release. While narrow and slim sneakers have slowly crept back into closets, the newest LOEWE sneaker adds some weight to the design for a slightly heavier look emphasizing its unique silhouette. While easy to confuse the Ballet Runner 2.0 with its predecessor, loyal fans will not doubt picking up the new iteration for future footwear trends. 
Here comes The Ballet Runner 2.0

Now offered in seven new colorways, the Ballet Runner 2.0 dons a new silhouette and features that make it feel even more updated. With calfskin and nylon uppers and an asymmetrical toe box, the Ballet Runner 2.0 feels different than any retro sneaker you’ve seen released yet. A sock-like internal structure and lightweight rubber outsole emphasize the old-fashioned aesthetic while maintaining some of the premium qualities you would expect from LOEWE. Not to be missed is the brand’s oversized L monogram on the side panel and the embossed logo on the tongue give the sneaker an extra dose of contrast and texture. Complete with tonal laces, this classic retro sneaker is the perfect addition to any wardrobe or outfit. Available via LOEWE’s website, these sneakers retail for $790. Like any LOEWE or designer sneaker, this release is the perfect investment to keep your wardrobe on-trend yet timeless for years.
