Social-Savvy Sneakers and More of This Week's Best Menswear Releases

Social media has become a force unlike any other. Commenting on its dominance, from the good to the bad, over the zeitgeist is Cali Thornhill DeWitt, an artist who gathers phrases and headlines from the deep recesses to create photographs, music videos, zines, and prints. Now, he has a a new medium: shoes. Dewitt has partnered with Vans on a seven-piece collection that takes his aesthetic and places it on the brand's signature kicks: the Sk8-Hi, Era, Chukka, Old Skool, and Slip-On. 

Getting in tip-top shape is the most common New Year's resolution—one that usually doesn't last past January. But thanks to Myles, you just may be encouraged to follow through with your goal. Just take a look at its new Momentum track pant; if the the name doesn't get you moving, the four-way stretch performance fabric and tailored cut certainly will. 

Speaking of momentum, Skagen has released the Falster Gen 6 smartwatch. The new timepiece is powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ platform, a technology that will respond to your movements much faster than previous installments. It is also features a water-resistant speaker and microphone, along with upgraded health and wellness sensors.

Kith, Nike, and the New York Knicks are playing ball again. The Swoosh has partnered with the basketball team on a collection exclusively sold at the New York-based retailer—the second time the trio has joined forces. Called City Edition Uniform, the new line—which includes an update of the Air Force 1, along with tees, sweats, and outerwear—celebrates the 75th anniversary of the NBA. 

Tower 28 is taking another step toward sustainability. The Los Angeles-based clean beauty brand has released its best-selling facial spray in a bottle that is made of 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastics. By 2023, the brand plans on extending the use of PCR to all its products. Indeed, the orange packaging, inspired by a lifeguard’s buoy, is doing the most to save the planet.

It's a big year for Pokémon; the franchise is celebrating 25 years of capturing the hearts of kids—and the dollars of their parents. And to commemorate the media behemoth, Converse has released a collection of its All Star sneakers, along with caps, backpacks, and tops that feature the anime's OG cast. Just released today, many styles have already sold out. So, to paraphrase Ash Ketchum, you gotta catch 'em while you can. 

When it comes to the varsity jacket, it really doesn't get any better than one from The Brooklyn Circus. For 15 years, the brand has been refining the style, offering variations that have greater meaning than what is seen on the surface. Its latest drop, for example, features distressed naked cow leather leather-sleeves and eye-catching red melton wool front and back panels that are inspired by cranberries, which symbolize abundance and gratitude. And we can think of no better way to start the new year than with a topper that evokes that message.  

Come February 1, we will enter the year of the tiger—specifically the water tiger. And to celebrate the start of the calendar in the Chinese zodiac, Bally has enlisted illustrator Jun Cen to create an exclusive collection. The capsule line includes a key ring, wallet, card holder, cross-body bag, and a backpack that feature an artful motif of the jungle cat done in calming shades of blue, gray, and cream, which is meant to represent positive change and good fortune. 

When artist Danny Cole, the mastermind behind Creature World, and Advisry's Keith Herron first met, they instantly saw a shared aesthetic between them—one that's colorful, playful, and full of humor. This is evident in their latest collection, their second since 2020, which features lively knits, tees, caps, and a pair of canvas pants will have all eyes on you. 

Looking to up your grooming routine in the new year? Korres has just the thing. The beauty brand has released its Santorini Grape Poreless skin cream, which is made of a vegan-friendly formula that is hypoallergenic and rich with antioxidants. 

A jean that clings ain't going nowhere; don't let the detractors tell you otherwise. It's a staple—a sentiment that Mott & Bow fully backs. Just take a look at the the name of its new form-fitting denim. 

If you're in need of backpack, Eastpak has just what you need. The brand has been making some of the best for years, but this season, they're even better. That's thanks to Eastpak joining forces with Depop on the "Re-Rebuilt to Resist Collection," a new lineup of styles made of upcycled materials.
