Over the past ten years there has been one segment that has grown to become a staple almost every watch brands lineup; the dive watch.  Though a little late to the party, Cartier dove right in with their Calibre Diver.  Cartier took their newer design, the Calibre de Cartier, and added what every functional dive watch requires; a rotating bezel.  For a brand that defined the dress watch, Cartier has done well with their interpretation of diver sport.

At 42mm in diameter, the Calibre Diver has more of a presence on the wrist than it measures.  The well proportioned ADLC coated bezel with SuperLuminova markings add a nice contrast against any of the case metal offerings.  Offered in Stainless Steel, Steel and Gold, and Rose Gold; with metal bracelet and rubber straps as well. This is a truly versatile sport timepiece.  A highly legible dial sits above Cartier’s manufacture caliber 1904-MC automatic movement all sealed to a depth of 300 meters water resistant.

It can be tough for a brand to enter a new segment.  Brands known for classic dress like Jaquet Droz and Glashutte have successfully made entry over the years as well.  With a groundwork in classic timepieces, Cartier obviously had no issue taking on the challenge and bringing their very loyal following a well priced sport piece.  Start at $8,200, the Calibre de Cartier Diver finally brings Cartier in to a segment it should have been in years ago.

Any shoe with the influence and impact as the adidas Superstar sneaker will always see redesigns and remixes. Throughout the years, this sneaker has seen many differing versions, adding to its legacy as one of the hottest sneakers in recent seasons. Although it’s hard to replicate the same impact as the original design, JJJJound is taking on this iconic silhouette and creating a new sleek design. Although much of the silhouette doesn’t change, this collaboration adds new touches and materials that elevate it to another level. A more sophisticated look for the Superstar sneaker, this collaboration is perfect for those wanting to infuse their street style into any occasion. 
JJJJound x adidas Superstar 90 “Made in Japan”

Donning an all-black look, the collaborative Superstar sneaker uses JJJJound’s recognized Japanese leather for a soft and elegant look. Rather than add new features to the original shoe, this collaboration sees fewer details for a scaled-back appearance. In this latest iteration, the Superstar sneaker appears without its tongue logo and sans emblems on the heel tabs. Besides removing these features, the text “JJJJound” replaces the golden “Superstar” text along the side of the iconic three white stripes. A lowkey and subtle switch-up on a classic sneaker, this collaborative shoe draws a statement from how sleek and modern its appearance is. Ideal for those looking for a more sophisticated everyday sneaker, this collaboration is set to hit the shelves on February 1, 2025. Fans looking to purchase these sleek sneakers can do so via JJJJound’s web store.
