Although the rest of the internet is still recovering from the dramatic Season 5B premiere of “Yellowstone,” Luke Grimes is setting the footwear standard high on his latest appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Grimes stepped out on the heels of the big premiere sporting the classic Tecovas for a look that even his character would wear. While Grimes’ footwear choice is a classic look for any Western fan, he isn’t the first of the series to show his love for the Western boot. Recently, Cole Hauser unveiled his collection with Frye on Western boots, which hit the mark on the trend. However, on “The Tonight Show” Luke Grimes gave the perfect example of how to fuse a modern outfit with a classic Western boot.

Not wearing any Western boot, Luke Grimes stepped out in New York for The Tonight Show sporting Tecovas’ “The Johnny” Cowboy Boot in Gravel Suede. This boot has a 12” shaft with waterproof suede complete with Tecovas toe-stitching. Handcrafted in León, Mexico, this boot is one example of Tecovas’ long history in creating the ultimate cowboy boot. The Johnny boot is unique to most boots as its stonewash and vintage suede gives the design a rugged lived-in look that appears as if it was plucked right from a Western movie. Anyone can rock this classic Western-inspired look with Luke Grimes’ medium blue denim jeans and a simple button-up top. Available via Tecovas’ web store, The Johnny Boot retails for $345. For those looking for more color options, this boot is also available with the same hybrid outsole in a midnight hue for a sleeker feel.

In a new collaboration, both brands are taking a look at another past sneaker for the chance to finish the year with another successful and practical shoe.

While we’ve grown accustomed to New Balance’s collaborations bringing forth various color schemes and combinations, their newest partnership is a sleeker style for the athletic company. For their third release together, JJJJound and New Balance use their construction and style techniques to create a shoe full of ‘balance.’ Inspired by the idea of balance, the concept of the sneaker is to have a durable and stable design while still looking chic and fashion-forward. Just in time to round out the Fall/Winter 2024 collection, this new release brings a moodier take on an established New Balance silhouette. Although there are plenty of collaborations from New Balance, this partnership with JJJJound is unlike the others.
JJJJound x New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX

Crafted using all-black mesh and leather, this new design from JJJJound and New Balance is a darker and moodier side of the athletic brand than we are used to. While the entire shoe dons a black hue, there are hints of blue found around the heel where the 2002R branding is located. Tonal vamp overlays, rubber outsoles, and an N-ERGY midsole are some of the features that give the sneaker some of the classic New Balance look. Completed with toggle lacing, this sneaker is ready for just about anything. Inside, a waterproof lining helps protect against anything the winter season has prepared. Those keen to round out their winter lineup can purchase the 2002R GORE-TEX via JJJJound’s web store starting December 18 and New Balance on December 20. Made to withstand all of the winter elements, this JJJJound and New Balance release is another collaboration that seems to hit a perfect stride. Unlike recent sneakers full of lively and vibrant hues, this release is for those looking for a more versatile option with all the technical features you need.

This iconic chunky HOKA sneaker just got even chunkier

HOKA announces new sneaker

black new HOKA Bondi 9 chunky sneaker

While it seems HOKA’s athletic and lifestyle sneakers lineup can’t get any larger, the brand’s latest release proves that they are just getting started. Of the brand’s vast offerings, the Bondi collection is among the most recognizable and applauded. Made famous for their chunky soles and technical features, the Bondi lineup has plenty to choose from. In this release, HOKA is upgrading the classic silhouette. This new iteration involves adding significant volume to the already chunky design, making it a true statement moment for your closet. Although the design appears bigger, this Bondi shoe won’t lose any features you love.
The bigger and better HOKA Bondi 9

Looking to improve its performance, HOKA is looking to the Bondi 9 sneaker to elevate its offerings by ramping up its size. Adding two millimeters more height to the shoe, the new premium midsole adds bounce, cushion, and support to the design. Made with foamed EVA, smooth MetaRocker, rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame, and a molded EVA sockliner, the midsole is unlike anything the brand has released yet. Completing the design is a 3D molded collar, extended heel pull, and reflective upper details. Although the chunkier midsole increases its appearance, users won’t have to worry about the extra weight. Compared to its predecessor, this new HOKA Bondi 9 is almost an ounce lighter. While this shoe isn’t expected to hit the shelves until January 2025, it has already been announced that it will come in six colorways and retail for $170. For those unafraid of a statement midsole or shoe, the new HOKA Bondi 9 is great for your athletic or lifestyle needs.
