Wallet Wise

By

As January, the first month of the New Year, comes to a close, let’s take a look at being fiscally fit and wallet wise for 2014. Wallets have come a long way from knapsacks tied to your belt when coins first came into prominence to the wallet app that launched just two years ago. A new one is a great way to flex your style muscle and have something solid to rock the rest of your year. From work to weekend, here are a few options.

Bison Made – Made with Horween leather from Chicago, this wallet is hand sewn with a unique baseball stitch pattern that gives it a contoured sleeve, designed to perfectly fit the iPhone.

Joules – Navy leather is quite the trend for wallets in 2014. British brand Joules says it’ll get “more distinguished with every scratch and scrape.” Featuring a screen print of a rainbow trout on the interior, this small detail speaks volumes of its owner.

Miansai – Long Wallet features five slots for your cards and cash. It’s made of Italian, full grain calf skin and 24k gold plated eyelet and nylon rope with brass hardware.

Filson – A combo of cotton canvas and bridle leather makes this wallet not only durable but lighter weight and cool. A great feature is a place for your private cash stash. This wallet gets even better after years of use.

Fossil – A classic Glen plaid pattern in an updated bifold wallet. This lightweight desk-to-destination style is compact and preppy with six slots for your credit cards.

Will Leather Goods – From The Cibreo Collection and inspired by the finest restaurant in Florence, this Italian calfskin wallet may compete for the softest one #ever.

Stewart/Stand – This is a vegan wallet made of more than 85 percent post-consumer recycled stainless steel. Using RIFD technology, this is a great pairing of tech and style.

Reebok and OBEY unite for the ultimate streetwear design
Reebok and OBEY announce new collection
three sneakers in the street

Inspired by classic and modern sports silhouettes, Reebok has turned to streetwear brand OBEY to cocreate the ultimate streetwear collection. In recent years, Reebok has brought retro sneakers and designs back into the mainstream, making them some of the latest “it” pieces. In this new collection, Reebok adds some edge to the design of their typically classic footwear. Both brands have utilized this collection to hone in on their self-expression and empowerment beliefs to create pieces every rebel will want to own. In this new partnership, both brands have announced three new sneakers that are as distinct and unique as their intended wearers. 
OBEY x Reebok FW24

As part of their Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, the two brands have announced three new footwear options for the ideal streetwear touch. The first pair in the collection, the OBEY x Reebok BB450, is a burgundy premium leather that takes after some of Reebok’s classic basketball sneakers. In the BB450, both brands opted for suede accents, speed hook eyelets, premium leather lining, and a branded sock liner and hangtag. Sticking to the trending seasonal colors, the second option comes in the dark green OBEY x Reebok Club C 85. The Club C 85 features premium leather, metal lace eyelets, black laces, and OBEY’s window box logo. This sneaker finds its inspiration from the brand’s iconic tennis sneaker.
