Despite its young age, Aether has made its impact among fans of winter sports and motorcycling. Because of the brand’s rugged, durable approach, it’s no surprise it has garnered a cult following since its inception in 2009. Along with apparel, the brand is known for its gear and footwear that can withstand any journey you may set on. Now, the brand is embarking on a new adventure for the Fall 2025 season with a footwear collection that introduces three new styles and a new array of colors for its most iconic silhouette. 

Whether you’re walking around the city or taking a walk through nature, these new Aether boots deliver it all. For the first time, Aether is introducing Goodyear Welt Construction to its footwear, making these boots among the most durable in its lineup. With plenty of activities and sights to see this fall and winter season, Aether’s new collection reminds us that you can do them in stylish boots. 

Aether bets on durability and style for Fall 2025

In its most recent fall collection, Aether has delivered three new boot styles and new colorways for its Dolomite Boot. One of the brand’s best-selling options, the Dolomite Boot is now available in black and espresso brown, and can be pre-ordered. For the newest styles, Aether is bringing durability and ruggedness to the city with its City Chelsea Boot. An elevated style for dressier occasions, this sleek Chelsea boot is available in black and crafted from premium materials hand-selected for the occasion. The boot features a real leather insole board and a natural latex insole, capped off with Italian calf leather, making it a sophisticated and elevated option.

 Further on, the brand has also introduced a more casual option, the Monroe Chelsea Boot. This Chelsea boot arrives in two colorways and is crafted from German cow suede and Italian calfskin leather. Custom, deep-lug rubber outsoles have been added, giving your boot plenty of traction to take on the day. Rounding out the new collection is the lace-up Avenue Boot. Also available in two colorways, the Avenue Boot fuses heritage boots with WWII-era combat boots for a timeless yet modern lace-up style. The boot is crafted and finished by hand using premium full-grain Pull-Up leather. All of the shoes are hand-crafted in a family-owned factory in Portugal, further cementing the brand’s mission to deliver quality over quantity. The three new boot styles and colorways are available now via Aether’s webstore and retail between $450 and $550.

FIFA 2026 provides a global amphitheater for sport, people, and culture to converge.

It’s a true celebration.

Christopher Nolan and Hamilton made a bronze watch fit for The Odyssey
Hamilton and Christopher Nolan team up again, with a bronze field watch for timed for the debut of The Odyssey.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Here's a first for a company that's spent decades sticking its watches into movies: this one was built for a film it can never actually appear in. That's the twist on the Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition, Hamilton's latest team-up with Christopher Nolan tied to his upcoming epic The Odyssey (in theaters July 17).

Since the film is set in the Bronze Age, it's pretty unlikely that anybody was wearing a wristwatch. For us in the modern age, though, the new watch's 42mm case is bronze (it'll develop its own patina over time). The black dial looks like Odysseus's helmet; there are a pair of sword-shaped hands in bronze, and the 12 o'clock index is modeled on a rivet from the scabbard. You get the idea. Meanwhile, the titanium case back is engraved with the helmet and Nolan's signature.

VERO Watches drops a watch reminding you forest fire prevention is all you
VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies sends 10% of proceeds to prevent forest fires
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

VERO Watches is built to find the man who embraces his lineage. I am not talking about his nationality. I am not talking about his race or his heritage. I am talking about the lineage that brought us from the caves and the frontier to the more civilized and modernized world we recognize today. These are watches for explorers. These are watches for the man who ditches the cubicle and the office. The boardroom is a prison for our adventurous spirit, and VERO figured that out and is creating watches to help the man disappear from that existence to reclaim his place in the wilderness. Now that the dramatic part is over, I can tell you about the new drop featuring one of our favorite characters from our childhood, Smokey the Bear. The new VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies is set up to remind all of us of one single truth.

Preventing forest fires is your responsibility
