By Brad Bourque Published February 10, 2015

There’s nothing worse than donning a pair of your freshest kicks in the morning, stepping out the front door, and immediately getting mud all over your clean white toebox. That’s why Mr. Black Garment Essentials teamed up with Sneaker Freaker to provide you with the perfect package for keeping clean all winter, the Midnight Express Box Set. The package includes two different products, Cleaner and Refresh, as well as a stiff bristle brush for scrubbing away the rain and dirt of the holiday season. Use them all in conjunction with each other and you’ll have the cleanest kicks around.

Mr Black’s Cleaner is powerful enough to take care of heavy scuffs and marks, bringing even your beat kicks back to like-new condition. They know that premium sneakers require a softer touch to protect the sensitive materials, so their cleaner is derived from plants for a deep clean that won’t discolor or damage your leather uppers.

The other half of the Sneaker Freaker package, Mr. Black’s Refresh, is a specially designed odor and bacteria spray for keeping your kicks smelling and looking fresh once you’ve cleaned them. The specially designed antibacterial spray is made with eucalyptus oil for a naturally fresh and clean smell that doesn’t just mask your shoe odor, it eliminates it.

The limited edition SNKR FRKR x Mr. Black package puts both amazing products into one box, with a special brush for scrubbing away scuffs and marks. In addition, you’ll get the latest edition of Sneaker Freaker magazine for some holiday reading while you clean your collection.We took some of Mr. Black’s Cleaners and Refresh to a few pairs of shoes, and were very impressed with the results.

You can pick up the Midnight Express Box Set on the Sneaker Freaker website, but they were only produced in limited quantity, so if your kicks are dirty you should pick one up quickly before they run out.

A new Seiko watch with a yellow dial that will capture your attention

Seiko 5 Sports x MOONEYES

A brand new Seiko watch with a striking yellow dial and two cute eyes that look beyond the dial has debuted. Well, this new timepiece, the reference SRPL39, has the primary colors of the brand Seiko is partnering with—Mooneyes.

For starters, Mooneyes is a motorsports company that gained much traction in the ‘50s due to its high-quality automotive parts, which were always fixed in racing cars for performance enhancement. While the organization made a name with top-tier parts, it has a very interesting logo that stands out. It is the work of a popular artist who had ties to Disney—one of the reasons why it has a cartoonish design that captures attention quite easily.

To me, watches are some of the most essential accessories I have in my wardrobe. They are conversation starters, functional tools, and in some cases, status symbols. While you can find the casings in various kinds, like field watches, pilot watches, dive watches and even tactical watches, the bands themselves have a wide variety of options as well. You can pick up leather straps, mesh pieces, silicone/rubber straps, and metal bracelets, all of which give a different feel to your timepiece. Unfortunately, when you elect the metal bracelets, it's likely you will need to know how to remove watch links, or pay more money.

ASICS, Sneaker Politics release new sneaker

Although many recent collaboration campaigns tend to focus on sneakers and their co-creators, that doesn’t mean they can’t be a bit brazen. While Sneaker Politics x ASICS’s newest sneaker is more than enough to marve at, their cheeky promotional campaign is turning heads. Under the title “Just Say No”, the latest sneaker is inspired by the infamous '80s campaign heralded by the Reagan administration to combat drug usage. Although the campaign doesn’t directly mention its inspiration by name, details spread through the sneaker are enough to draw a connection. Apart from poking fun at the failed “Just Say No’ drug campaign, Sneaker Politics and ASICS have created an equally bold sneaker that meshes the brand’s performance features with style details.
