The Gel-Kayano 12.1 has been brought into the modern era with a refreshed light green and off-white colorway for a light-colored sneaker with all the support. Featuring an off-white mesh, light green accents, and silver details, this color combination is modern yet soft. On the other hand, the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 offers wearers a much more neutral palette that’s versatile for any occasion or closet. Using mesh overlays, tonal accents, and gel cushioning for extra support, this sleek and modern pair is great for those who want a shoe that easily fits any style. Both designs are now available via Kith’s app, website, and select in-store locations. These Kith x ASICS shoes retail for $180 and are a great option for those seeking a more special shoe without reaching for bold colors and prints. The ASICS x Kith partnership has proven once again to be one filled with sleek and modern ideas that successfully highlight each brand and deliver a practical shoe that anyone can use for all occasions.

Don’t sacrifice style with winter boots: The key to functional fashion this season

Stay stylish even in mens winter dress boots

Boots standing on frosty winter ground.

The weather is beginning to make your trip to the office or the grocery store much more precarious. The snow is falling, and the roads are getting wet and slippery. That is when it becomes imperative that you get the right garments and shoes to protect yourself against the elements. The only problem? They are rarely as stylish as the rest of your wardrobe. Winter boots specifically have a hard time retaining the style of other seasons, and men's winter dress boots are the closest you will get to style while staying elevated. That is why you need to find the perfect outfit to stay warm and dry while not sacrificing your style. How do you do that? By mastering functional fashion. Here is the way to nail this look.
Why winter boots feel less stylish

Really, what this comes down to is the argument of function over fashion. When you have something that looks great, it is often constructed without focusing on making your life easier. When you have something made for a specific purpose, you often sacrifice the look of the boot because it is meant to keep your feet warm, dry, or both. Keeping your style elevated during the winter months will come down to finding a pair of boots that find the balance between the two. Functional fashion is the hallmark of a great winter boot look.

The Dr. Martens x NEIGHBORHOOD Collection

In their third partnership, Dr. Martens and NEIGHBORHOOD have taken to the 4-eye Smiths shoe and Penton loafer for a fresh, new collection. One of the most distinct details the two brands have added to their collaboration is the long hair texture on the new Penton loafer. Using hairy suede and a smooth leather heel counter, the loafer has a more statement and trendy look. Completing the loafer is a creeper-inspired woven detail on the vamp and moc-toe stitching. In stark white, the loafer also features the NEIGHBORHOOD logo.
