It’s no secret that Jacquemus knows the secret of creating a designer item that makes a statement. On the other hand, Timberland knows how to create the ultimate durable shoe that’s rugged and stylish. Together, these two brands have joined forces to create the ultimate summer-ready shoe that doesn’t disappoint on either front. Taking on one of America’s most iconic shoe silhouettes, this design is perfect for a season of color and trend. With subtle yet significant details from the French fashion house, this Timberland shoe is anything but typical. An ultra-chic and ravishing look, this collaborative shoe offers a one-of-a-kind chance to have footwear that’s timeless, modern, and trendy in one design.

The Timberland and Jacquemus “La Bateau” boat shoe

Inspired by Timberland’s 1978 boat shoe, the newest collaborative shoe from the pair takes shape as the “Le Bateau.” This 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe features a banana yellow hue that’s perfect for the upcoming summer season. Featuring hard-wearing premium leather on the uppers and soft leather lining, this shoe is far from your typical boat shoe. The outsole is equipped with rugged and noticeable lugs that give it its more significant shape. Jacquemus’ touch is evident in its gold-colored lace tips, eyelets, and gold-colored metal lace keepers that add a certain level of dazzle. Starting April 23, the shoe will be available via Jacquemus’ online and in-store platforms and will retail for $250. The collaborative shoe will also be available the same day via Timberland’s online site. While a timeless design, this Jacquemus and Timberland collaboration is a modern retelling of a must-have shoe for all men.

Hockerty wants color to stand out this summer with new Color Edit

Stand out with new summer colors from Hockerty

Blazer, Clothing, Coat

The summer is in full swing. That means you are likely dealing with the rising temperatures to the point that you are sitting back and missing the blizzards of January. I remember standing on the corner of a street in New York and watching the snowflakes fall, thinking, "I can't wait for summer and baseball." Now, I am looking back and thinking about those temperatures, and I am wishing I had enjoyed them more. As I bake like a chicken on the streets of New York, I think about how to dress for the office while dying of heat stroke. The answer? Hockerty's new Summer Edit brings light and breathable fabrics while also adding in the kinds of colors that will take your wardrobe from stylish to functional without leaving the style behind.

Luminox’s new Adventure Watch trades tactical black for a weathered, vintage look

The Swiss brand's latest field watch wears a pre-aged "IP Antique" finish and leather straps, priced at $795.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox usually builds watches that look ready for a covert night operation — but its newest one looks ready for a 1950s expedition instead.

The Pfäffikon, Switzerland–based brand just dropped the Adventure Watch, a field watch styled after the timepieces of the early exploration days but built to Luminox's modern military-grade standards.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists

The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.

Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
