Known for its high-fashion presence, Maison Margiela is taking its sights to the trails once more with another collaboration with Salomon. Taking on a new XT model, the partnership brings a sleeker and more modern approach to Salomon’s typical outdoor style. Designed by Maison Margiela, the XT sneaker arrives in three colorways that range from neutral to bold. Proving once more that outdoor gear can be fashionable, the newest MM6 x Salomon collaboration serves as the perfect way to elevate any outdoor wardrobe. 

Maison Margiela and Salomon bring high fashion to the trails

In their newest collection together, Maison Margiela and Salomon are pushing three distinct colorways for their newest XT silhouette. The first iteration, Vanilla Ice, features a cream-colored upper with stark black accents placed on the toe, lateral panels, and logos. The Black/Cherry Tomato-White version continues the two-toned effect with a black mesh upper that’s accented by red accents. Providing a slight contrast are white logos placed throughout the design. Rounding out the collection is the duo’s XT in Black/Silver-Phantom. Also donning a black mesh upper, this shoe dons a white Salomon logo and metallic silver supports that accent the design. Typical of Maison Margiela’s branding, the brand also includes its traditional numeric code logo on the toe area. The MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon XT is available for purchase via Salomon and HBX for $480 each. Bringing a bold, high-fashion look to outdoor footwear, the MM6 and Salomon partnership continues to deliver a fusion of both worlds that amazes.

The ‘Dad Reset’ is on the horizon: Megan Collins leads the charge
Men are taking ownership over what they wear and the founder of Style Girlfriend is here to help
Person, Sitting, Adult

One of the most frustrating moments in any man's style journey is when your wardrobe starts to feel stale. No matter what you do, you feel like everything you put on is old, boring, or tired. You try to switch it up. You pair it differently. It just lost its luster. The truth is, it happens to all of us. But the people who struggle with it the most are middle-aged men. With a specific focus on dads. Middle-aged men are too young to resign themselves to not caring about their look anymore. They are too old to dive into the trends with the changing of the fashion winds. So many of them throw in the towel. Add to that overwhelming feeling being a busy father, and there is just no way to spend the time and energy on rebuilding a wardrobe. That is where Megan Collins comes in. Her business, Style Girlfriend, takes men and restores their confidence from the ground up with new, elevated, and evolved stylistic choices.

When you have one outfit you love, you wear it. When you wear it, you notice how much better you feel. Then, you want another outfit that gives you that same feeling. That's how confidence builds. Not all at once, but one good decision at a time. - Megan Collins, Founder, Style Girlfriend

Shinola’s new blacked-out Mackinac Night Race revives a rare sailing complication
The Detroit brand's new limited edition puts a one-of-a-kind forged carbon dial on a yacht timer — the countdown built for sailboat starts.
Wristwatch, Arm, Rope

Shinola has made watches about Detroit, about the Apollo program, and about a lake monster. Its newest one is about a sailboat race, and damn, is it good-looking.

The Detroit-based brand is launching the Mackinac Night Race, a limited edition built around the yacht timer — the countdown complication used to time the start of a sailing race, aka one of watchmaking's more specialized tricks. The name nods to the Great Lakes maritime history the watch draws on (so not technically an official race tie-in).

The West is a statement look with TAFT’s new edit
TAFT Longhorn collection gives you a stylish look with a little western flare
Clothing, Footwear, Shoe

One of the most iconic ways a man can stand out is to make a statement with his style. Now, this isn't as easy as it sounds. Most of the time, if a man doesn't know what he is doing when he goes to make a statement, he goes overboard. Colors, patterns, textures, they can all work together or battle each other out for attention and cause problems. For instance, wearing a bright color combined with a crazy pattern can make you look more like an optical illusion than a stylish man. You look like you are cosplaying The Joker instead of methodically piecing together pieces that are working together to give an outfit depth. One of the tricks I have always loved to incorporate with my looks is a statement shoe. A typical everyday outfit can be elevated easily with a shoe standing out with color or pattern. One of my favorite brands to go to when I want to do that is TAFT. They are the best in the game for a statement shoe, and their new edit is a way to capitalize on that idea.
