For more of the latest and greatest product releases, check out our full collection of the best new gear.
Clothing brands are a dime a dozen. So, too, are grooming ones. Sneaker makers and boot manufacturers aren't few and far between either. As such, it can be hard to keep up with each one's releases, even if you consider yourself a fan.
Are you supposed to check their online stores each morning? Dedicate yourself to their social media pages? Beg the buyer at your local menswear store to tell you when the next season arrives? It sounds strange, but shopping is unnecessarily hard.
That's where we come in — each week, we round up the best style and grooming releases here, in our guide to the best of them thus far this year.
December
Asics x APC GEL Sonoma 15-50
Asics is on a hot streak. This APC collab is a hell of a way to end the year. The GEL Sonoma 15-50 isn't as popular a silhouette as the Nimbus 9 or Kayano 14, but it's a favorite of late, especially for collaborators. (Asics is probably pushing it.) But I think it's a nice shoe, albeit one I'd want to save for summer hikes.
Price: $195
RefrigiWear x One Block Down Reflective Down Jacket
Italian streetwear and sneaker store One Block Down collaborated with RefrigiWear on a reflective, workwear-inspired down jacket, which comes with a sizable hood and a hefty body.
Price: €282
MAAP x PAM MTB LS Tee
It doesn't matter if you mountain bike or not, you can enjoy this collab tee from MAAP and PAM. It's designed to be well ventilated for long rides, whether on trails or tracks, but it'd work just as well in the summer with mesh shorts. I'm thinking ahead.
Price: $165 AUD
Palladium x Finisterre Pallatrooper Hiker WP+
Palladium's new boot with British gear brand Finisterre is a remix of the popular Pallatrooper. This version works well in the snow, despite its microfiber and canvas upper. There's a Waterproof+ bootie inside (plus a special membrane) that helps keep your feet dry. The raised rubber mudguard offers additional protection.
Price: €190
Madhappy x Salomon XT-6 FT
Wellness-focused brand Madhappy collaborated with Salomon, using the footwear brand's well-known XT-6 sneaker as the canvas. It's calm, like you should be.
Price: $250
JW Anderson Padded Lace-Up Boots
JW Anderson doesn't do heavy-duty boots, but these look it, even if you shouldn't take them on a hike. They're made from fabric, but have a huge, chunky sole.
Price: $557
Arc'teryx System_A Kobah Parka
In 2021, Arc'teryx dropped System_A, a collection of GORP gear for city folks. Now they expand it semi-annually, with new pieces to replace the sold out ones — like the Kobah Parka.
Price: $1,100
Reigning Champ Handknit Varsity Sweater
Made from 100 percent Canadian wool by artisans in Reigning Champ's hometown, Vancouver, Canada. It takes cues from the classic varsity jacket, but it's a shawl zip sweater knitted in heavy gauge wool. There's 00 on the back, too.
Price: $600
November
Wrangler x Pendleton Wrange Coat
This collaborative coat references the classic barn jacket style while being decidedly Western, not Northwestern. It has a bold roper pattern and a sherpa lining, for warmth, of course.
Price: $499
The North Face 30th Anniversary Nuptse Jacket
The first The North Face Nuptse Jacket dropped in 1992. This version celebrates this important anniversary while referencing an archival print, the XPLR Pass, which appears as clouds on the all-black jacket.
Price: $360
Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket for B. Shop
This sueded version of Taylor Stitch's popular Ojai Jacket was made exclusively for Berdorf Goodman's B. Shop, which is curated by Bruce Pask. It's a lovely color that'll age nicely with wear.
Price: $798
Gramicci x Brain Dead Mountaineering Jacket
This corduroy jacket kind of looks like fleece from afar. The custom dye job enhances the jacket's natural texture and adds an artful twist.
Price: $200
New Balance 610
This new New Balance silhouette is a cross between a Fila stomper and something GORP-y. It's good, and refreshing — less dad-like, more cool kid.
Price: $110
Manaki Koro Sweater
Exclusive to Mr Porter's FUTURES collection, Manaki's Koro Sweater is made from a rare mix of merino wool, alpaca and silk. It's soft but textured.
Price: $425
Adidas National Tennis OG
This simple Adidas sneaker is different from the Stan Smith, another tennis shoe. Its the National Tennis OG, a wider silhouette with a pronounced front.
Price: €119
A Kind of Guise Eddy Coat
By mid-November, when winter truly settles in, everyone reaches for their tall coats at the rear of the closet. A Kind of Guise's Eddy Coat arrives just in time, promising warmth when temps dip below zero.
Price: €695
Sky High Farm x BOGS Worker Boots
The Hudson Valley's Sky High Farm doubles as a workwear brand. This collab with BOGS places its recognizable logo — the strawberry moon — onto the outside of the brand's popular waterproof boot.
Price: $180
The Nue Co. Water Therapy
The Nue Co.'s new therapeutic fragrance "uses olfactory technology to replicate the sensory feeling of being in or around water." That means notes of sandalwood and salt, seaweed and rose. Beyond smelling nice, it's also meant to soothe tension and calm your mood.
Price: $95
Rimowa x Adidas NMD_S1 Sneaker
Rimowa and Adidas collaborated on a clever backpack — it looks a lot like a Rimowa carry-on, but with straps — but the true star of the joint collection was this version of Adidas's popular NMD_S1 sneaker.
Price: $250
Goshi Super Vitamin Body Wash
Goshi's popular exfoliating washcloth made it a household name. Now, the brand introduced two body products, a lotion and a body wash. The body wash is packed with protein enzymes to stimulate skin cell renewal, raw algae culture for boosting antioxidant levels and green tea leaf extract for fast hydration.
Price: $30
Space Available Mycelium Tray
Space Available's handy valet trays are... grown to order, because they're made from mycelium. No two will be exactly the same, but that's the nature of, well, natural products. Owners are instructed to keep the tray in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Price: $116
Notre x Converse Chuck 70
Notre's custom Converse Chuck 70 might've flown under the radar amidst myriad iterations that dropped the same month, but it's impressive nonetheless. The texture; the colors; these are killer.
Price: $110
Knickerbocker Kodak Park Hoodie
NYC brand Knickerbocker and legendary camera company Kodak have collaborated a number of times. The latest installment features a few sweatshirts, T-shirts, totes and hats, each one with their own cheeky Kodak ads or collaborative logos. This hoodie, which mixes heather gray and navy jersey, features artwork illustrated by Joshua Minnich.
Price: $145
Lite Year Harris Tweed 6 Panel Cap
Bicoastal agency and brand Lite Year sells a number of original designs. Its hats are the best, sensible five and six panel caps with an independent spirit. That means cool patterns and interesting materials — like Harris Tweed.
Price: $120
Cherry Cowboy Print Trucker Jacket
Cherry LA has had quite the year. The burgeoning brand put out a number of collections, but its most recent made the biggest splash, and had the biggest hits — case in point: this new Cowboy Print Trucker Jacket, which is a little bit Bode and a little bit Reese Cooper but uniquely its own, too.
Price: $368 (Sold Out)
Taylor Stitch Port Jacket
Taylor Stitch's new Port Jacket combines the comfortability of a pullover fleece with the versatility of something much more substantial. It is a fleece, after all, but it has two big bucket pockets, a button front and a stand collar.
Price: $198
Diamond Cross Ranch Blue Horse Tee
Diamond Cross Ranch recently played host to Stetson's new fragrance campaign, which featured Luke Grimes as the frontman. But the backdrop also sells its own merch. The Blue Horse Tee is just a sampling, and although it might be the simplest design, it's a surefire hit nonetheless.
Price: $48
Warehouse x Rocky Mountain Featherbed Indigo Chambray Down Vest
Rarely are we anxious to ruin our newest purchase. But Warehouse and Rocky Mountain Featherbed's new denim vest is begging to be broken in, and it'll look amazing once you do it. (It looks great as is, though, too — who am I kidding?)
Price: $457
Dr. Martens Smiths Hair On Leopard Print Shoes
How much hair is too much hair? Dr. Martens's printed leopard shoes beg this question. Made from genuine hair and leather, this new derby-like lace-up comes with some serious texture — a statement-making addition that's perfect for the current era of fun suiting.
Price: £149.00
Cat Footwear x Nigel Cabourn Omaha Boot
I'll be honest... this was an unexpected collab. Cat is, well, Cat, and Nigel Cabourn is a celebrated solo designer that moonlights as a menswear archaeologist. But Cat has had quite the past year, considering its collabs regularly sell out. They offer a blank canvas for its collaborators, which means you get some interesting stuff — like the Omaha Boot, a nod to vintage standard issue US Navy boots. Cabourn has collected quite a few, and they influenced these, which come with a canvas upper that references boots made from the materials in the 1940s. There's an industrial touch, too: the rubber toe cap.
Price: $260
Ray-Ban Mega Wayfarers
Ray-Ban took "go big or go home" to heart. The new Mega Wayfarers are the chunky cousin of the classic style, even though they're exactly the same sunglasses (except oversized). The new substantial frame stands out, but not too much — bigger sunglasses are in, and it's about time Ray-Ban took notice.
Price: $174
Randy's Garments Lined Station Jacket
Tired of seeing the little Carhartt logo everywhere you go? (Sorry, Carhartt, you're just too popular.) Go with a niche brand like Randy's Garments, which sells similar designs, albeit built for the modern wearer. The Lined Station Jacket, for example, is cut and sewn in New York City, and made using DWR-finished cotton canvas. Brushed cotton sateen lines the inside, while green corduroy offers contrast at the collar.
Price: $318
MF DOOM Rugby
Late musician and emcee MF DOOM passed in 2020, but his estate still manages his merch store, Gas Drawls. On it, you'll find mugs and records, but also rugby shirts. This heavyweight cotton shirt comes with an appliqué DOOM across it.
Price: $135
Converse Suede Western Boots
There's a snake in my... Chucks? Converse came out with, at least in Japan (for now), a pair of Western boots, both in black and off-white. They have a high shaft, the usual shape and a flat, Chuck-like bottom. As someone who considers the Chuck Taylor to be the best sneaker design of all time, I'm excited.
Price: ¥11,000
Universal Works x HHV Patched Cabin Jacket
Universal Works's collar-less collab coat with vinyl store HHV wears like a cardigan, but it's made from tough Harris Tweed, a soft yet sturdy fabric sewn finished in a horizontal herringbone pattern. The orientation adds unevenness, making the jacket look worn and refurbished.
Price: $415
October
Frederic Malle Uncut Gem by Maurice Roucel
What does a famous perfumer smell like? Well, now you can know. Frederic Malle does Editions, which are scents formulated by well-known noses. For this series, Maurice Roucel, who started out as a chemist at Chanel’s Fragrance Laboratory in 1973, recreated his personal scent. Called Uncut Gem — no affiliation to the film, I promise — it is a scent that pops at first but develops deeper notes the longer it sits on your skin.
Price: $290
Diemme Balbi Basso
Diemme applies traditional hunting hues — green and high-vis orange — to a non-traditional muck boot. It's low, like right at the ankle, but the rubber is high enough to keep your feet dry.
Price: €299
Lacier Dress Ring 001
Lacier is designer Steven Alan's new jewelry brand. With extensive experience in menswear, Alan carries applies his sensibilities to accessories, resulting in a collection that's subtle and elegant but expressive, too.
Price: $1,485
Palmes Society Inter Knitted Cardigan
Palmes Society has slowly expanded from tennis merch and accessories to full-on ready-to-wear designs. This cardigan, for example, is super advanced for an upstart brand.
Price: $260
Onsen x Huckberry Hooded Waffle Robe
Everyone should own a robe, but the great ones are expensive. Onsen's, however, is fairly affordable. Plus, it's waffle-knit, meaning it's soft yet structured and super-absorbent. This color was made exclusive for Huckberry.
Price: $195
Ludwig 6.5"x14" Pee .Wee Signature Snare Drum by Anderson .Paak
Anderson Paak, after several high-profile clothing and sneaker collabs, turned his attention to his favorite instruments, the drums. He's an avid drummer and lays down the rhythms for almost every song he's featured on. This custom snare was made in conjunction with Ludwig, the leading provider of drum kits.
Price: $849
Koio Milo Boot
Koio is known for its sneakers, but the Milo Boot, a new, all-leather work boot is no slouch. It's comfortable, fairly affordable and well-suited for the workplace — or a night out.
Price: $395
Air Jordan 12 Low Golf Shoes
Nike continues to tweak its most popular silhouettes for the golf course. Now, after recently converting the Jordan 1, it's the Jordan 12, albeit as a low-top. Take to the greens in style.
Price: $220
Woolrich Alaskan Overshirt
Woolrich's new Alaskan Overshirt isn't actually new at all. It's based on an archival pattern and made from Melton wool, which is woven from recycled materials. It has hefty buttons, a pointed collar and well-proportioned shoulders.
Price: $295
Lo & Sons Upcycled Tote Bag
Upcycling is all the rage right now — and for good reason. The practice is incredibly sustainable. This bag by Lo & Sons, for example, is made from returned products. This manufacturing method keeps perfectly fine products from the landfill, and creates unique products out of them.
Price: $165
Packer x New Era Patchwork Phillies Hat
Plenty of brands have done their own takes on classic New Era caps, using baseball teams as fodder for the front. Packer's iterations are all patchwork designs, which means each panel is slightly different than the last. For this Phillies version, there are corduroy, sueded and flat parts.
Price: $65
Rimowa Cabin Luggage Harness
For as much as a carry-on from a cheaper brand, you can get a harness for your....suitcase. It's perfectly sized for one of Rimowa's Cabin suitcases, although you could probably get it to fit on your Away or July bag, too. When you have to put your suitcase in the overheard bin, it slides right off and turns into a mid-sized briefcase. Smart? Yes. Excessive? Probably.
Price: $525
Levi's x Universal Monsters Stay Loose Carpenter Jeans
Halloween is near... and if you're late on a costume, why not wear horror-themed gear? Universal Monsters' subdued collab with Levi's looks just spooky enough, but it isn't over-the-top. It's timely in the best way.
Price: $118
Garbstore x Bodega FO Jacket
A collab between Garbstore and Bodega, the FO Jacket is a versatile piece of outerwear made from waxed Japanese cotton twill with velcro places for patches, tartan inlays, a corduroy collar and Goose down. It's stylish, but it'll also keep you super warm.
Price: $605
Vacation Ball Boy Candle
Although peak tennis season has passed, Vacation wants you to relive memories of mid-summer, with notes of new tennis balls, sunscreen, sweatbands and cucumber sandwiches. Beyond its aroma, though, the candle itself is cool and so is the box.
Price: $42
Goshi x FWA Exfoliating Towel
Goshi is the go-to exfoliating towel for so many — it's handy, works super well and stays clean, all without needing to be washed. This one with Friends With Animals is a cute purple color, a departure from its usual dark blue.
Price: $15
OFFHOURS Boa Vest
Although it isn't a full jacket, OFFHOURS' Boa Vest is a serious jacket, albeit without sleeves. It's kind of a long-ass blanket for your body. It has an elasticated waist to accentuate your silhouette, no sleeves for improved mobility and a filled with high-efficiency recycled polyester quilting, which keeps your core warm.
Price: $425
PANGAIA Food Dye Hoodie
PANGAIA is, beyond being an apparel brand, is a materials and dyes technology company. What does that mean? Well, they make clothes from nettle and dye them with waterless dyes. This hoodie in particular, though, is a departure still. It's made from 100 percent cotton and dyed using food waste. This light green comes from matcha, which is Japanese green tea.
Price: $295
Oura Ring Horizon
The Oura Ring has long has a flat edge, which needed to face upwards in order to work. Now, though, the ring is fully rounded... like a regular ring. It looks more natural, but it still offers the same impressive tech.
To learn more about the Oura Ring Horizon, read our review.
Price: $499
AIR Eau de Parfum
Although a cologne made from captured carbon emissions sounds too good to be true, it isn't — this cologne by AIR Company, the makers of AIR Vodka and a new carbon-based commercial jet fuel, is made using proprietary machinery — a patented system called the Carbon Conversion Reactor — manned by their chief scientist that transforms captured CO2 and green hydrogen into impurity-free ethanol, methanol and water, in a process that "mimics photosynthesis." From there, they distill the liquid, which separates the three elements. Then, the ethanol and water are mixed with the scented oils, creating AIR Eau de Parfum.
Price: $220
September
Taylor Stitch Sheffield Sportcoat
You can wear a blazer with pretty much anything, especially if it's textured, like this one from Taylor Stitch. It's made from mostly wool with a gun check pattern. It's a little proper professor with a splash of legacy prep.
Price: $298
Nick Fouquet Vitaliano Duvet Jacket
Nick Fouquet is a hat maker first and foremost. His eponymous label sells numerous wide-brim hats handmade by Fouquet himself. This jacket isn't, but it's proof that his brand is growing, and hats aren't all he's destined to sell.
Price: $2,290
Stefan Cooke Martlett Derby Shoes
I'm historically anti square toes. They're unflattering, clunky and generally a style I tell men to avoid. Designer Stefan Cooke has changed my mind, though, with his embellished Martlett Derby Shoes, which definitely have square toes.

Banks Journal 70s Floral Zip Sweater
Banks Journal's zip-up sweater offers the softness of a sweater with the versatility of a zip-up hoodie. It's truly hard to beat, even if there is no hood. It's one of those pieces that's super easy to wear but looks put together.
Price: $160
Soft Services Theraplush
Theraplush is Soft Services' new overnight hand cream. It works while you sleep to repair chapped, cracked, discolored or simply irritated skin. The retinol and colloidal oatmeal mix comes in an airless pump system housed in a stylish ribbed vessel. It's meant to be stored beside your bed, not your bathroom sink.
Price: $58
END. x Adidas Superturf Adventure 'Ibex'
Borrowing its name from a goat native to the English countryside, END and Adidas 'Ibex' Superturf Adventure shoe is meant for tough terrain. It also has a zipperable front tongue to keep the elements out.
Price: $160
OffCourt Body Wash
OffCourt launched prebiotic body sprays first, an updated take on Axe, if you will. Now, the brand is dropping a trio of body washes in scents designed to match the deodorants. They're just as proactive, with glycolic and lactic acids safely exfoliating the skin and balancing its pH, which lessens the likelihood of body odor.
Price: $14
Clarks Originals x Goodhood Wallabee
To commemorate 15 years of being open, London streetwear and home goods store Goodhood collaborated with Clarks Originals on its own version of the venerable Wallabee, a boot-height kind of chukka with two rows of laces, a moc toe and a thick crepe sole. This special edition iteration is black on black but there are foil stars that catch light and illuminate.
Price: £160.00
Loewe Earth Eau de Parfum
It's not often that you find a fragrance infused with the essence of black truffles, but Loewe's Earth Eau de Parfum certainly is. It's potent but not in a "I must eat this" way. There's complexity — pear, violet — and someone probably wouldn't notice your umami aroma unless you pointed it out.
Price: $118
Moon Juice G Pack
Moon Juice's first skincare product in four years is a new antioxidant powder you mix into a serum — like Moon Juice's Plump Jelly. It's effective at delivering doses of Vitamin C, Glutathione, and Ferulic Acid, which, when combined, help the skin stay tight and elastic but also improve its defense against environmental toxins.
Price: $58
Adidas Samba Spikeless Golf Shoes
The Samba has had quite the calendar year. Now, the iconic sneaker takes to the links. Adidas added a new outsole and rear logo and dyed it three different putting game-friendly pastels: Halo Blue (seen here), Clear Pink and Pulse Yellow.
Price: $120
Book Works Giants of Jazz Tee
Book Works isn't a book shop, although they do publishing for some musicians from nearby school music programs — mostly specialized ones, like The New School's Jazz Program. Instead, it's a graphic-based clothing brand from two NYC-based friends. The Giants of Jazz Tee ties together their work in music with their clothing line — and, to be honest, I just like jazz.

Le Domaine The Cleansing Emulsion
Brad Pitt probably isn't the first person that comes to mind when you think skincare. Sure, he has great skin, but he's famous — and rich. And starting a beauty brand? Seems impossible with his busy schedule. However, he did it, albeit with close friends to help: the Perrin family, the winemakers Pitt partnered with to make his Château Miraval Côtes de Provence Rose. They also use grapes in his line of skincare products, citing their ability to slow aging as the main reason.
Price: €70
Manresa The Cranbury Cardigan
Everything Manresa designer Mike McLachlan puts out is worth checking out, but this cardigan? It's a can't-miss. A nod to a neighborhood in Norwalk, Connecticut, it's soft and warm and made from 15 percent wool. As McLachlan poetically puts it, it's just right for early risers: "The water boils and the beans grind. As you grab your mug and head to the porch you grab your trusty cardi off the back of the chair near the door. Breathe in breathe out. The sun rises and so do you."
Price: $185
Fear of God 59Fifty Mesh Hat
Most trucker hats have a fabric front, meaning the back panel is the only part you see through. Fear of God's New Era Mesh Hat, however, is completely transparent. It's mesh all over, a nod to a '70s era cap of the same style.
Price: $65
WP Standard Passport Wallet
Traveling soon? Try carrying your necessary travel documents — Passport, wallet, boarding pass, etc. — in WP Standard's new Passport Wallet, which is not only simpler than most other passport wallets but better-looking, too. Most travel wallets are unnecessarily thick or even tricky to open, which is a problem when you're rushing through security.
Price: $58
The Original Equipment Keystone Hoodie
I tipped readers off to Camber, a small trade company in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia, last year, when they collaborated with Sneakersnstuff on a few exclusive colors of their famous hoodie, a heavyweight pullover that fits perfectly. Beyond that collab, and a few random menswear stores in London, Camber hoodies are hard to get. The company doesn't just sell its hoodies — you have to wholesale them. That was until American Trench asked them to manufacture a signature hoodie for its sportswear line, Original Equipment. These are them, made by Camber USA in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
Price: $165
Buck Mason PCH Jacket
A good leather jacket is expensive — and often fairly heavy. Buck Mason's new sheepskin PCH Jacket is neither. For a fair $548, you get a lightweight leather jacket with an iconic look to it. Small zipper details make the side pockets stand out, even if they don't compete with some Japanese-made grails.
Price: $548
Universal Works Bakers V3 Tweed Chore Coat
Universal Works is known for its Bakers Jacket, their take on a classic chore coat. This version is totally new, though. Instead of standard cotton or lightweight linen, Universal Works used tweed, a warmer fabric built for the cooler weather. There's also a neck strap to keep the collar shut when the wind picks.
Price: $242
New Balance 574 Legacy
The New Balance 574 Legacy first appeared, at least here in the US, as a collab with Bodega. Now, though, it's available in more run of the mill New Balance colorways, like this burgundy rendition. They have the same improved insoles and added comfort, all in a more original tone. I loved the original yellow and blue pairs, but these are more true to the brand.
Price: $100
Gant x Wrangler Leather Belt
"In 1950s America, Wrangler and GANT were at the forefront of the emergence of casual Americana design. While Wrangler was embracing the western lifestyle, with pioneering products such as the western jean, jacket and shirt, GANT shaped preppy style with their definitive button-down shirts. The stories might be different... but both created a lasting cultural impact," Sean Gormley, Wrangler's Global Concept Director, Modern, says. This shared history informed their latest collab, a collection of apparel, footwear and, as seen here, accessories.
Price: $130
D by Diesel
Diesel's new unisex fragrance combines sustainably sourced ingredients like vanilla bourbon oils and lavender, which play with traditional gender poles. The bottle itself feels like it was crushed by constant use, creating negative space for your fingers when you hold it. Best of all? It can be refilled.
Price: $92
Mr P. Color-Block Polo Shirt
Mr Porter's in-house brand, Mr P., sells a number of basics but also more adventurous designs, like this Color-Block Polo Shirt. It's made from an ultra-soft mix of cotton and TENCEL Lyocell, making it something you could wear on red carpets and to a friend's birthday dinner just the same.
Price: $455
Bridge & Burn Lightweight Wool Sweater
It's almost sweater season. But, before we get there, we trudge through dreaded "transitional" weather, when it's hot during peak hours but pretty pleasant at night and in the morning. This lightweight wool sweater is perfect for this in-between period.
Price: $134
Globe-Trotter x Casablanca Carry-On Suitcase
Fancy luggage? Yes, this is fancy luggage. It's a limited-edition Globe-Trotter carry-on from the luggage company's collaboration with fashion brand Casablanca. It's made entirely from ribbed aluminum but finished with black metal accents, gold hardware and bamboo handles.
Price: $5,345

Aesop Eidesis Eau de Parfum
Aesop's newest scent recalls the rich aroma of an open fire. Notes of amber and allspice contrast dark char and dim bars.

Camper Junction
Camper's Junction dress shoe features a removable toe cap in a contrasting color. On, these are wild, with a splash of avant garde. Off, these are your usual dress shoe, but better.

Air Force 1 Low Retro (COTM)
The Air Force 1 almost met its end in the early '80s, less than three years after they first launched. But three Baltimore retailers brought the silhouette back to life by negotiating a "Color of the Month" plan, where they'd produce a new colorway each month until the collab ended. This turned the AF1 into the ideal blank canvas. Bodega's COTM Air Force 1 Low Retro pays homage to this marketing effort. Their color? Brown.

Bodega x Suicoke Kaw "One of One"
Made from denim, not nylon or polyester, Bodega's collaborative Suicoke sandals will break in with constant wear, creating distressing and stains you'd typically only see on jeans. They're an alternative take on a style we've seen a number of times before — refreshing.

Unmarked Archie Boot
Although Unmarked's Archie Boot isn't new, this version, which has a Biltrite Sole an glazed pull-up leather uppers, of it is. Although I've always liked the black or more basic brown iterations, this one really commands your attention.
Price: $370
Viberg Loden Janus Calf Suede Chelsea
It's an annual tradition: awaiting Viberg's fall/winter drop and drooling over a number of boots I'd pinch pennies just to purchase. This year's prize? The Loden Janus Calf Suede Chelsea, a sleek boot that'd look at home with a suit or work pants.
Price: $885
Hiro Clark The Big Tee
Some tees are just too tight. Not Hiro Clark's aptly titled The Big Tee. It's oversized but not in a childish way. It's roomy without being unflattering.

NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe
Tom Sachs says his original NikeCraft collab, the Mars Yard, helped usher in the new era of sneakers, where hype is king and quality comes second. Now, though, with his new General Purpose Shoe, he wanted to take the "idea of ‘your favorite pair of jeans’" and "make shoes that have that workwear quality," he told Esquire. They'll eventually be available in a bunch of colors and mass quantities.

Supreme FW22 Overshirt
It's funny to watch Supreme copy a style beloved by folks who don't care about streetwear: the Wax London Whiting Shirt. Supreme's is a little more luxe, sure, and it comes in a unique colorway, but it's pretty close, right?
Price: TBD
Hermés H24 Eau de Parfum
Hermés' iconic H24 scent has long been available as an eau de toilette but it's bottled as an eau de Parfum now, too. It's stronger and longer-lasting.

Rogue Territory Tanker Jacket
Rogue Territory is known for its canvas jackets. Hell, even James Bond wore one. That's not why the Tanker Jacket stands out, though, despite it being a part of a strong lineage of jackets just like it. It has low profile pockets, a straight shape and a simple collar. It's easy to wear and plenty protective.

Part of a collaborative collection from Japanese streetwear and basketball brand, ballaholic, and Asics.

Saturdays NYC x Porter Yoshida Tote Bag
New York surf brand Saturdays collaborated with Tokyo-based brand Porter Yoshida on a tote bag that actually protects what's in it. The top has a drawstring closure to keep your laptop out of the public eye and protected from the rain. Plus, with it closed, nothing will far out if the bag topples over. It's plenty tall, too, which means you can fit a lot in here — and in its exterior pockets.
Price: $250

Dad Grass "Grass" Collegiate Tee
Collegiate tees are almost always a solid color with a contrasting oversized text logo. Dad Grass, as much a CBD brand as it is a merch company, made its own version of one, covering the front of a standard blue tee with the word "Grass." It's clever, a little cheeky and better than a tee that says "Dad."
Price: $44

Preppy Americana Japanese men's publication 2nd Magazine collaborated with American bag maker Briefing on a backpack that can be carried like a tote. The center panel is a faded camo that almost looks like an animal print, and the top closes with a drawstring top and clip fastener.

New Balance x BEAMS x Paperboy M920PPB
A collaboration between Paris-based café and lifestyle label Paperboy, Japanese brand BEAMS, and New Balance UK, the M920PPB is a playful take on NB's base model. The shoes are mismatch, meaning the colors flip-flop instead of staying symmetrical.
