ASICS knows what it takes to build a comfortable walking or running shoe with quality performance. The brand known for its reliability for fitness is bringing that same standard and taking it up a notch with its latest collaboration. Along with Japanese brand nonnative, ASICS is bringing their sneakers outdoors for combined support and durability. Besides the technical upgrades on the shoe, this collaborative sneaker has a sleek and minimalist look that will surely make for an easy fit in your wardrobe. Donning earthy browns, this new drop is as luxurious on the outside as on the inside. With plenty of collaborations reaching for bold hues and out-of-the-box details, the sleek touches on this shoe make this design bold in its own right.

While the collaboration seems typical of an ASICS sneaker on the outside, the inside holds all of the craftsmanship that nonnative is famous for. Crafted with technical welding and no-sew elements, all shoe parts are made with quality standards. The inside contains a GORE-TEX membrane, to help keep your feet warm and dry, even in cold conditions. This design also combines FLYTEFORM cushioning and GEL technology for a lightweight feel that can last all day and in any scenario. The all-brown upper with suede overlays complete the look on the outside, giving it a more sophisticated look for a trail sneaker.

Everyone knows the versatility and sophistication that a loafer has to offer. The loafer is a traditional dress shoe that has slowly become an everyday shoe rather than reserved for formal events only. Because this footwear has earned its way into everyday looks, the key is making it unique from your average formal shoe. Thanks to Martine Rose and Clarks, this is no longer a problem, as they’ve created a one-of-a-kind shoe that mixes street style with the timeless loafer. As part of their Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, these two brands have decided to give the loafer a comfortable and cushioned upgrade, without disregarding style. 
‘Coming Up Roses’ footwear collection

Along with a remixed loafer, Martine Rose has updated Clarks’ Oxford, Torhill Hi, and Clog designs. Each was redesigned in bold hues and a unique extra padding on the outside, to provide more volume and design. The Torhill Hi designs are available in black, pink, orange, and brown crocodile leather. Torhill Hi’s easy-to-wear slip-on style makes for an ideal option for colder weather looks.  The Clog was also released in similar black, orange, and brown crocodile leather materials. Clarks’ Wearers can find Clarks’ mid-heel Oxford shoes in black, lilac, and orange hues. Each design comes with Martine Rose’s touch of extra padding, along with Clark’s typical support system for comfort. An easy way to upgrade your daily looks, these pastels and pops of color will add a unique flair to your looks. This footwear collection ranges from $180 to $290 and is available on Martine Rose and Clark's websites. Select retailers will also carry pieces.

When it comes to the colder seasons, choosing the proper footwear is key for a practical and stylish outing. With plenty of boot types to choose from, knowing the different design styles is important if you’re looking to expand your seasonal wardrobe. One of the season's most iconic footwear options comes in the chukka boot. While much heavier than your typical cowboy or Chelsea boot, this choice is great for those looking for a stable and chunkier shoe. Sitting slightly above the ankle, these boots are great for most occasions and can easily be styled to fit any occasion. Unlike other boots, the chukka boots come with a two-eyelet detail, giving you the perfect mix between a casual boot and formal dress shoes. A practical alternative to chunky boots or dress shoes, the chukka boot is a must-have for the fall and winter and even the seasons in between. 
What are chukka boots? 

The history of chukka boots dates back to the 1940s when polo players first used them. While riding boots existed, many polo players found them more comfortable for horseback riding than the usual pairs. Because the chukka boots provided more ankle support, these boots were proved to be more practical for the occasion. Like many other trends, the chukka boots went from off the field and on the streets, as many adopted the boot for everyday life. Chukka boots come in various materials and colors, making them a great staple for a versatile wardrobe. However, unlike others, chukka boots only come at ankle lengths, giving you a secure height every time. Like most boots nowadays, chukka boots can come in various platform widths.
