P.F. Flyers is a brand that sparks nostalgia in every corner of its catalogue. From footwear that recalls the mid-century athletes to shoes many of us saw for the first time on the feet of Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez in The Sandlot. Of course, since those landed in our cultural lexicon thirty years ago, the brand has continued to corner the market in nostalgia. They are looking to do it again with their new collection, which pays homage to the mid-1900s sports apparel. The P.F. Flyers Home and Away collection reimagines the iconic Center shoe, with nods to vintage, home-and-away varsity jerseys, as well as a vintage-inspired apparel collection.

The time is right for yesterday

If you’ve been paying attention to the trends happening right now, you’ll know that vintage is in. Everything from “Grandpa Core”- involving WWII flight jackets, pleated pants, and braces in place of belts – all the way to a firm grasp of Y2K baggy style, is making a comeback to the forefront of 2025 style. But it’s more than simply thinking Don Draper looks excellent in a suit; it’s a reimagining of a past before the chaos of the 2020s. The time is right for a brand like P.F. Flyers to do what they do best and take us back to the middle of the 20th century and remember the days of Friday Night football games and high school worries. From jerseys and jackets to shoes and hats, this collection takes you back to a bygone era.

Ball and Buck team with Schott NYC for iconic leather jacket reimagining
Get the new version of leather jacket for the sportsman
Ball and Buck x Schott NYC

Leather jackets are some of the most iconic items a man can add to his wardrobe. From the rebellious look of 1950s greasers to the dressed-up versions of the 1970s and the entire spectrum that has evolved since, the leather jacket is a man's best friend. Schott NYC is a company you can thank for that best friend, as they provided the first motorcycle jacket and outfitted the military in WWII. Now, they have teamed up with iconic outdoors and sporting brand Ball and Buck for a once-in-a-lifetime, limited-edition jacket.

"This collaboration represents everything we stand for at Ball and Buck. We've taken Schott's legendary leather jacket, a true American icon, and incorporated our sporting heritage through thoughtful details that our customers will appreciate for generations to come." - Mark Bollman IV, Founder of Ball and Buck

Walton Goggins rocks Dandy Del Mar in White Lotus for an unexpected connection
The most underrated actor wearing the most underrated brand
Walton Goggins in Dandy Del Mar

You have superstars like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and George Clooney. Up-and-comers like Paul Mescal, Austin Butler, and Glenn Powell are on the cusp of taking the reigns in the industry. Then you have the ones in their prime like Tom Holland, Timothee Chalemet, and Ryan Gosling. But, while those guys fight for the status as the number one leading man in the industry, you have stable, talented, and completely underappreciated actors like Walton Goggins, who carry shows and movies with stellar performances. He was "that one guy" for a long time when I spotted him in projects like Shanghai Noon (I can't be the only one who loved that movie), The Bourne Identity, Straw Dogs, and Cowboys & Aliens. But then I started to take notice as he killed in films like Lincoln and Django Unchained and series like Justified and Fallout. It was then that I discovered he is the most underrated man in Hollywood. And recently, I spotted Walton Goggins in White Lotus, wearing Dandy Del Mar, who shares the title of being the most underrated in their business.

Michael B. Jordan is one of the premiere names in Hollywood. He went from rising star in properties like Red Tails, Chronicle, and Fruitvale Station to becoming a Hollywood superstar with Black Panther and anchoring the Creed franchise. However, he has also made his mark in the men's style corner. He is never out of style, from his floral print knee-length coat at the Just Mercy premiere to his all-yellow Louis Vuitton ensemble at the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premiere. At the London photo call for his new project, Sinners, Jordan donned an all-leather set from GapStudio. It may not feel like it initially, but Michael B. Jordan in GapStudio is a bigger deal than you think.

“Michael B. Jordan has a natural confidence and blends style with strength in everything he wears. Designing a custom GapStudio look for him with leather and classic Gap elements creates a clean, relaxed style that feels both easy and refined.” - Zac Posen, Executive Vice President and Creative Director of GAP, Inc.
