Why you should check out the Jrue Holiday x Zenni eyewear collab

There are essentially three main styles of glasses you’re going to find in this collection. First, there are the classic aviator, two lens sunglasses that you know and love. You know this type of sunglasses can be used by everyone, so be sure to use the “Try On” button to open up your cam and give them a virtual wear. You’ll often find descriptions of how to match the glasses to a face shape to help you as well. The next style are a sort of one-lens sunglasses that create a face shield. Unlike ordinary sunglasses, it is much harder for the sun the reach your eyes — the area over your nose is protected, too. But, before you think these are going to look like a lab nerd’s safety goggles, think again, they are colorful and stylish with inspired shapes and designs. Finally, we get our regular read-a-book spectacles that come with an extra smart look to them. When Jrue models the glasses, he presents with that rare air of both confident athleticism and inner intellect, and you will too.

Next, it is really important to harp on affordability. The full collection has an impressive 85 members (though, admittedly, color variations each take their own spot in the Zenni shop), with 35 fitting into the under $30 categorization. That’s a large selection of incredibly affordable glasses. And the highest priced?  The Tenacity, which feature a muted colorations and stylish metal hinges, are just $56. Better yet, the Tenacity are a certifiable outlier. The next most expensive, the Crossover, feature thick rims in diverse styles and are just $43. After that, literally everything is $40 and under. So, if you want affordable NBA-tier sunglasses, these are the ones to go for. Tap the button to see everything the Jrue Holiday x Zenni eyewear collab has to offer. Then, go check out our favorite cheap online clothing stores for men for affordable fashion.

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.

Luminox goes full stealth with a new all-steel Navy SEAL Foundation watch
The blacked-out new release swaps the brand's usual straps for a matching IP Gun steel bracelet.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox built its name on lightweight, strap-bound tool watches. Now, it's trying a slightly different tack.

The Swiss-made, American-founded brand just added a fully blacked-out, all-steel model — the XS.3228.NSF — to its Navy SEAL Foundation 3220 Series, a collaboration that dates back to 2020.
