Faherty and Huckberry Team Up for a Clothing Collection That Helps the Oceans

One of our favorite casual apparel brands, Faherty, and one of our favorite online retailers, Huckberry, have officially teamed up for a killer red-, orange-, and blue-toned capsule collection inspired by Faherty’s surf style. Why? Simple: the founders of both companies are old friends.

Here’s what Faherty had to say about getting together with Huckberry: “Alex Faherty and Huckberry’s co-founder, Andy Forch, worked together on Wall Street more than 10 years ago. During a visit to Faherty HQ, the Huckberry guys came across Faherty’s Sequoia Grove pattern, and after a few rounds of beers, they all decided to do a capsule collection.”

Huckberry added: “Long before [Huckberry] took the plunge into the wild waters of entrepreneurship, Alex and Mike Faherty were our surf buddies. Admittedly, they did most of the surfing on those trips, like 99.9 percent. Which makes total sense — seeing as they’ve since built a successful apparel brand that combines their surf know-how and lifelong connection to the beach with Mike’s years of experience.”

And that connection to the beach is apparent in the patterning, colorways, and easy-going style of the four extremely reasonably priced pieces below.

The best part about the collab (other than it being the best sunset-hued clothes we’ve seen) is the fact that 5 percent of all sales will go to Surfrider Foundation to keep our oceans clean.

Hawaiian Shirt – $100

Made from extremely airy rayon fabric, covered in Faherty’s surf print and natural coconut buttons, this Hawaiian shirt hits all the marks when it comes to playfulness, attitude, and ease. Got a hankering for more Hawaiian shirts? Say aloha to all our favorites here.

Sunset Tee – $50

Classic, with throwback styling and a sunset surf paradise print, this slub cotton tee is just as good for a day at the beach as it is for lounging around the house.

Beacon Trunk – $80

You can’t have a collaboration inspired by sunsets, sequoias, and sea without offering up a swim trunk. This particular one features a unique Faherty pattern on an eco-friendly recycled polyester and cotton fabric. The Beacon Trunk also sports a DWR coating for quick-dry, an elastic waistband, and a super soft mesh liner.

7-inch Classic Board Short – $80

If you must wear a board short, make it these. One of the few pairs we aesthetically acceptable, these linerless board shorts are also DWR-coated for quick dry and can be worn in and out of the water. You can go from hanging 10 to happy hour without changing shorts.

While there’s no denying that Salomon’s trail sneakers are state-of-the-art, their latest release reaches another level. Fused with military strength materials, Salomon’s latest collaboration Gr10k sees the classic Quest silhouette transform into the ultimate rugged sneaker. By transforming the Quest 4D from boot to sneaker, Gr10k has added style and fortified footwear features that result in a shoe that can take you almost anywhere. While the technical features of the sneaker are more than enough to entice even the most novice hiker, the design’s overall style makes it the perfect shoe to go from the trails to the city. Combining practicality, support, and style, the newest Salomon sneaker is surely to amaze.
Hit the trails with Salomon’s Quest Low 2 Gr10k

Inspired by the Quest 4D boot, Salomon’s Quest Low 2 Gr10k utilizes some of the most durable footwear features to create a shoe you can’t ignore. With nubuck leather and single-layer mesh, the shoe’s uppers create a comfortable and breathable feel. In the midsole, a dual-density foam provides users with optimal motion control and stability. Crafted with an All-Terrain Contragrip, this sneaker is ready for all surfaces, in nature or the city. Adding to the protection, the design’s 4D Advanced Chassis and protective toecap add balance, cushion, and comfort features while protecting the foot. Finishing the design is a snug-fit lacing system complete with a convenient pocket, allowing users to feel secure and hazard-free in their journey. Now available via both brands’ web store, the sneaker retails for $190 and is expected to sell out quickly. Coming from the same pairing that crafted a pair of fire-proof sneakers, there’s no doubt that this new release will be a must-have for all adventure seekers.

HOKA releases new hybrid shoe

Following New Balance’s announcement of new colors and fabrics for their controversial sneaker-loafer design, a new brand is emerging to follow suit. HOKA is joining the hybrid design by releasing their version of the sneaker-loafer hybrid, with an interesting look that differs from those released by New Balance. Using a mixture of design features that integrate traditional sneaker and loafer silhouettes, the newest offering from HOKA is anything but typical. For those looking to dress up their comfort shoes or want to add some cushion to their dress shoes, the HOKA hybrid is a perfect balance that’s both traditional and bold. While this look is bound to come with split opinions, there’s no doubt that many athletic brands are looking to break the mold of style and practicality.
Meet HOKA’s Speed Loafer

Unlike New Balance’s 1906L, Hoka’s Speed loafer infuses the top of a dress loafer with the bottom of a sneaker for the ultimate definition of a hybrid shoe. Using a leather upper and Vibram Megagrip outsole, this sleek black hybrid shoe is quite the silhouette. Inside the design, a leather sockliner elevates the sneaker loafer with the use of premium material. Reflective piping and suede mudguard add traditional sneaker elements to the design. Expected to hit HOKA’s website on January 31, the sneaker-loafer will retail for $185. Regardless if you wear the shoe as an elegant sneaker or a casual loafer, there’s no doubt that HOKA’s hybrid shoe opens the door to future bold designs. While the jury is still out on how this hybrid shoe fairs with HOKA fans, it’s an eye-raising silhouette that deserves a chance.
