When exploring the outdoors, there’s no doubt that North Face has a lengthy history and experience. Known for its excellent selection of outdoor items that provide warmth, support, and protection, it seems natural that the brand also knows how to create quality footwear. While North Face’s Offtrail hiking collection isn’t as vast as other brands, it’s full of great choices that can easily withstand all your hiking adventures. In their recent release, North Face expanded their hiking collection with two distinct designs made for hikers. Besides North Face’s expected brand quality, these new releases have many styles and modern features that can easily compete with your favorite current brands. With these additions, North Face adds techy features that bring a classic rugged design into the modern era.

Available in three colorways, this techy sneaker is the perfect way to add robust footwear technology into your closet with sleek and stylish hues. Retailing for $185, this classic hiking sneaker option is a timeless silhouette that can easily take you from the trails to the city.

North Face’s second release is a similar design but in a hiking boot. Available in the same three colorways, the Offtrail Hike LT Mid GORE-TEX Boots are a lightweight hiking boot option with ample ankle protection. Perfect for more rugged terrain and extreme weather conditions, the LT Mid GORE-TEX boot also includes a waterproof membrane that allows users to feel comfortable and sturdy in their footwear. Despite the added material around the ankle, the boot remains a lightweight and flexible option that can easily help you maneuver any trail. While the LT Mid boot is slightly more difficult to style in everyday situations, it’s certainly a shoe made for trendy hikers. Retailing for $200, the LT Mid GORE-TEX boot is available via North Face’s web store, with its sneaker counterpart.

Piaget expands their Andy Warhol collection to honor a friendship
Bringing back more for the love of the artist
Piaget Andy Warhol laid out

Imagine walking into a New York City high society event. There are people everywhere that any good New Yorker would know. Woody Allen regails people with his stories from set. Tony Bennet turning down requests to serenade the crowd with one of his croony tunes. One other thing you would likely see is one of the world's most prominent watchmakers, Yves Piaget, standing off in a corner and yucking it up with one of the most famous and eccentric New Yorkers ever, Andy Warhol. The two had a very close bond for a long time, and while the artist was known for many watches, Sotheby's sold off his estate after his death and found seven Piagets. His favorite, one that became known as the Piaget Andy Warhol Watch, has captivated collectors for decades. Now, the brand hit Watches and Wonders intending to expand the collection in 2025.
Adding to a beloved collectors item

From 1972 to 1977, Piaget developed the then-named 15102, and it became known as the Black Tie for years. It wasn't until Piaget joined forces with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts that the watch officially became known as the Andy Warhol watch. Known for its square shape and its art deco style, it became a favorite of the artist, and customers were able to customize it to their own liking, expressing themselves on their wrist the way Warhol did in his work. This year, the collection expands with two more models with Tiger's Eye, a silky rich amber ornamental stone with deep orange and brown tones. Loved in the 60s and 70s, these are the perfect addition to pay further homage to a friendship crafted in that era.
