Welcome Fall With Shiny New Cufflinks

Summer is prime time for casual dressing. You can wear shoes without socks, cutoffs and even show a little toe if you dare (even though we don’t condone it), all without judgement from the peanut gallery. Suns out guns out, as they say. No matter how you phrase it, everyone is showing a little skin and shouldn’t feel badly about doing so. But as the temperatures cool and layers begin to reappear, it’s necessary to step up your outfit game and remember it’s not all tank tops and boat shoes anymore. And because you’re a stylish man of no frills, sometimes the best way to add shine is with a great pair of cufflinks. So dust off those French cuffs and check out some of our favorites for fall below. Until next year, mandals.

Any shoe with the influence and impact as the adidas Superstar sneaker will always see redesigns and remixes. Throughout the years, this sneaker has seen many differing versions, adding to its legacy as one of the hottest sneakers in recent seasons. Although it’s hard to replicate the same impact as the original design, JJJJound is taking on this iconic silhouette and creating a new sleek design. Although much of the silhouette doesn’t change, this collaboration adds new touches and materials that elevate it to another level. A more sophisticated look for the Superstar sneaker, this collaboration is perfect for those wanting to infuse their street style into any occasion. 
JJJJound x adidas Superstar 90 “Made in Japan”

Donning an all-black look, the collaborative Superstar sneaker uses JJJJound’s recognized Japanese leather for a soft and elegant look. Rather than add new features to the original shoe, this collaboration sees fewer details for a scaled-back appearance. In this latest iteration, the Superstar sneaker appears without its tongue logo and sans emblems on the heel tabs. Besides removing these features, the text “JJJJound” replaces the golden “Superstar” text along the side of the iconic three white stripes. A lowkey and subtle switch-up on a classic sneaker, this collaborative shoe draws a statement from how sleek and modern its appearance is. Ideal for those looking for a more sophisticated everyday sneaker, this collaboration is set to hit the shelves on February 1, 2025. Fans looking to purchase these sleek sneakers can do so via JJJJound’s web store.
