Previously teased during Craig Green’s Spring/Summer 2025 show in London, the newest partnership between the brand and ECCO.kollektive is a lesson in craftsmanship. Taking a timeless silhouette on a surrealist journey, the collaborative shoe is a bold and statement option that borders the line of the avant-garde. Under ECCO’s collaborative umbrella, the joint effort with Crag Green reimagines the silhouette with a more innovative and creative flair. Using the most intricate process to deconstruct and craft, this shoe is more than another footwear collaboration. The shoe is available in five colorways and is the perfect way to add a statement piece to your everyday wardrobe. While its out-of-the-box lines and details might seem too fashion-forward for some, its simplicity and premium quality ensure its spot in any closet. 

ECCO.Kollektive X Craig Green Joke FSDX

In this new release, Craig Green has reimagined ECCO’s 1980 Joke design with plenty of modern upgrades. The moccasin lace-up design now dons a new treatment that contrasts Apparition Leather against soft suede. Thin leather has also been infused with Dyneema, a process that produces a material up to 15 times stronger than steel, giving the design a durable, strong, ultra-fine leather exterior. The duo also established another ground-breaking process using Super Critical CO2. Still, under testing and exploration, this dying technique will help reduce chemical usage, water consumption, and waste generation often found in standard leather dying processes. Available for purchase via HBX for $375, this shoe isn’t just an innovative silhouette and a series of state-of-the-art techniques. Far from your conventional pair of lace-up moccasins, this shoe is just another example of the footwear we should expect from the footwear world.

Vintage is about as in as it has ever been, and you can find an old-school look around every corner of the industry that has been updated and reimagined for the modern world. While many brands are starting to look deep into their archives to find the perfect reboot, one brand is locking in on its origins to strike at the red-hot nostalgia. The Dockers Eighty-Six Collection is taking inspiration from the year they launched to bring us a handful of old-school looks we can enjoy in a new-school way.

“We’re going back to the moment it all started,” says Nic Rendic, Global Creative Director. “The Eighty-Six collection honors our legacy by revisiting the timeless designs that defined casual style and updating them for the present era. It’s like the good ol’ days, but better.”

Why you should swap hiking boots for trail runners on your next adventure
Say goodbye to your hiking boots. Here's a better option
Man running on a trail with mountains in the background

For decades, hiking boots have been the go-to shoe for every kind of trail, but modern hikers are beginning to change that. If you've ever worn heavy leather hiking boots on a trip before, you're probably familiar with the blisters, sweaty feet, and sore legs that often come with the journey. While getting out in nature was always the best part of my week, I swapped my heavy hiking boots for some lightweight trail runners last year, and it was the best decision I ever made. Here's why.
Why you should ditch your hiking boots for trail runners

Trail running shoes are a middle ground between sneakers and hiking boots. They're sturdy, but still lightweight enough to reduce strain on your legs as you hike. Most hiking boots have stiff soles, but trail runners will allow you to navigate uneven terrain easily due to the flexible soles. These are great for long-distance hikes, especially where speed and efficiency matter. I also love the fact that trail runners have quick-drying and water-resistant mesh, which allows sweat to evaporate easily for a more comfortable journey (and less stinky shoes!)

Christopher Ward's new 38mm watch
Christopher Ward The Twelve 38mm

In 2023, Christopher Ward rolled out a watch that changed the game. Everyone was looking for a watch with a sports-like aesthetic from the ‘70s, so Christopher Ward filled the market gap with the Twelve. It had a retro-like design, the brainchild of one of the greatest designers of all times, Gérald Genta.

But here’s the thing—the watch was available in only two sizes: 36 mm and 40 mm. While those two sizes garnered a lot of popularity, enthusiasts and fans asked for more.
