EDITOR’S NOTE

I lost my voice legit seven days ago and still don’t have it back at full force… Who’s got a folk remedy that has worked for them in the past? Please, I’m all ears.

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
Kicks by Dries

Dries Van Noten

Dries Van Noten suede sneakers in a rich, textured finish bring a refined edge to any casual look. The shoe has a clean silhouette with premium materials that keep it stylish through seasons, while the craftsmanship shows in every stitch. The second colorway matches the quality with a subtle shade difference that fits well in any wardrobe. These are shoes we can rely on for comfort and elevated everyday wear.

WORKWEAR
Daily Routine

These guys just own the thong flip-flop category… time spent elsewhere is time wasted. I wasted years with shitty J. Crew, Gap, Adidas etc. Just start breaking in your Rainbows and thank me later.

Rainbow

Rainbow Sandals’ Luxury Leather single layer sandal (above) has softer, thicker leather that breaks in easily and wears uniquely with age. The 1” straps come from full-grain leather with a wax finish, set on a durable sole with the signature Rainbow grip and lifetime guarantee. The double layer Bentley sandal (below) adds an extra layer under the arch for more support, still with the same soft leather and clean build. Both sandals keep the craftsmanship and durability that Rainbow fans appreciate.

STREETWEAR
“Cool Merrells”

Brain Dead

Oakley Factory Team Flesh Sandals (these are sandals??) offer casual style with street edge. The grille-textured sole pairs with wide straps that have a subtle, sporty look made for city wear or weekend hangouts. The two colorways keep the neutral palette fresh and easy to wear, making these sandals a cool update for laid-back looks.

OFFICE WEAR
Tasty work from Paraboot

United Arrows

The Paraboot Malo deck shoe blends simple design with high-quality suede for a classic look. It uses a traditional Italian Mackay construction that sews the sole directly to the upper, making the shoe flexible and soft. The sole adds a bit of volume and has light cushioning for comfortable wear. With a wider opening for easy slip-on and a slightly roomy fit, these shoes suit many foot shapes and go well with any outfit year-round. They’re built to last, with premium craftsmanship and a timeless shape we can count on.

ONE LAST THING….
Best Doubles Ever?

US Open

Last night, Andre Agassi and Coco took on Johnny Mac and Venus in a 10 point tie-break doubles match. My takeaways:

  • Andre’s still got it. In fact, we have no reason to believe he ever lost it…

  • Coco is such a weirdo. But she is OUR weirdo.

  • Johnny Mac is still a competitive bastard even with all that white hair.

  • Venus is cool as ice… I really wish I got to watch her in her prime.

  • Most important point: never EVER mic up pro tennis players that grunt. It’s uncomfortable for everyone involved.

As always, thanks for reading!
