It used to be as we got older and started to need reading glasses, the only option were those “granny” glasses sold in the drugstore, demi-frames that sat on the edge of your nose. They were called granny glasses for a reason. Wearing readers made you look old. All that changed when CADDIS came along, reinventing the category, making readers — and getting older — look cool.
The opening paragraph on their about page reads: “CADDIS is calling bullshit on 50 is the new 40, on the whole fountain of youth illusion, on the many industries that are profiting on vanity and fear of age, on the concept of ‘aging gracefully’ and on the notion of raging against the dying of the light.” But that was not the original idea for the brand. It was to reinvent the category, because “the product sucked”, said Tim Parr, the founder of CADDIS, in a recent conversation with STYLE of SPORT.
I met Tim Parr by chance in the CADDIS shop in the West Village of Manhattan a couple of weeks ago. I was there picking out glasses for a photo shoot. He asked if I needed help, that he “kind of worked there.” We started chatting and I asked him what he actually did in the store. He smiled and told me he’d started the company. As the universe had presented this opportunity, I asked if I could interview him for STYLE of SPORT. Five days later we were chatting over coffee about the evolution of CADDIS, how it all started, and what’s to come. Read More

“When the guide spots the whales you are dropped in their path no less than three hundred feet away. They will often swim with in ten feet of you if they do not feel threatened.”
I’ve known Brad Roaman since we were kids in high school, growing up in New York City. He has always been an avid sailor, sharing his love of the water on his boat with his friends, myself included, from above the surface. When he recently showed me these images of whales he had photographed below the surface, I was mesmerized. Brad is a fashion photographer, and I was familiar with that body of work, but for me this was a whole different level in a whole new environment.
Brad began shooting what he calls “Waterscapes” about a year ago. It began with him photographing his son and friends jumping off the boat from the water. He was shooting on his phone, trying to stay afloat with one hand, and taking pictures with the other. His perspective was just below the surface, water filling different parts of the frame from below. “The beauty of the water”, he told me, “is you never know what you’re going to get, how the water is going to frame the foreground and people in the background”.

Perched between the mountains and the sea on the coast of China is the city of Qingdao, the location of a new skatepark with a design like no other. As the flow of skateboarding mirrors the essence of surfing, the skatepark recreates an ocean on the rooftop of Qingdao MixC mall. The layout incorporates flowing curves of ocean waves, highlighting the connection between the two sports.
Qingdao’s breathtaking coastal scenery is considered a natural treasure, yet it is also a commercial city. Qingdao Mixc Phase I and II Connection Area Skatepark Renovation Project, designed by Within Beyond Studio, allows the two to coexist in harmony. This dual activation, both in terms of spatial design and movement, infuses the entire terrace. Read More
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has long been used to aid in the recovery of serious medical conditions. Originally developed to treat decompression sickness in divers, HBOT has since gained recognition for its wide-ranging medical and overall health benefits. From accelerating wound healing to enhancing cognitive function, this therapy has become a powerful tool in modern medicine and as a popular wellness treatment.
In a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, atmospheric pressure is increased two to three times normal levels, allowing the body to absorb significantly higher amounts of oxygen. HBOT is often prescribed after surgery because the increased pressure pumps more oxygen into the bloodstream, and this heightened oxygenation promotes cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the production of stem cells, which play a crucial role in tissue regeneration. The increased oxygen supply also enhances circulation and helps combat infection by boosting the immune system.
The increased oxygenation that accelerates the natural healing process has numerous overall health benefits as well, and there are Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers at wellness and medical centers all over the country. These benefits can include increased energy, improved cognitive clarity, better sleep, and over wellbeing. The anti-inflammatory effects of HBOT have been shown to help improve athletic performance and reduce recovery time. The extra oxygen in the bloodstream can also improve aerobic capacity and endurance. Read More

The popularity of non- alcoholic beer has surged with the fantastic variety now on the market. Almost every major brewery makes one. Athletic Brewing offers a beer for every taste profile and more than a dozen flavors. Refreshing and delicious, these brews are perfect on game day, and as replenishing recovery fuel too.
Traditionally non-alcoholic beers have paled in flavor, compared to their alcoholic counterparts. Stripping the alcohol removes that beer flavor, and adding malt is what brings it back — along with all sorts of additional health benefits. Says Peeyush Maheshwari, PhD, the Founder and Principal of Food 4 Thought, “Minus the alcohol, beer is actually a nutritious beverage, and this is where malt extract makes its mark.”
The high antioxidant content in malt extract, in addition to the substantial amounts of polyphenols — plant compounds with anti-inflammatory properties — make non-alcoholic beer an ideal beverage for athletic recovery. Notably, it has become the beverage of choice for many Olympic athletes in Germany, after a 2012 study revealed that runners who drank non-alcoholic beer before and after the Munich Marathon reported less inflammation post-race than runners who drank a placebo.

It’s NFL playoff season and plenty of football to watch in the countdown to the Superbowl. Game time is snack time. No need to sabotage your diet with all the healthy chips and dips available at most grocery and convenience stores.
Robin Barrie Kaiden MS, RD, CDN, CSSD, one of the nation’s leading experts in personal wellness and nutrition, recommends crunchy snacks like organic popcorn, chips, and nuts cooked in olive or avocado oil. Avoid refined vegetable oils like corn oil, sunflower oil, and safflower oil.

Jumping rope is long known to be one of the most efficient workouts with a myriad of health and fitness benefits. It provides a full body workout by engaging multiple muscle groups, improving cardiovascular conditioning while enhancing coordination and agility. In addition, a jump rope is the most inexpensive, space-saving, portable piece of fitness equipment money can buy.
One of the most effective calorie-torching activities, studies have shown that just 10 minutes of jumping rope offers the same cardiovascular benefits as a 30-minute run. A high-intensity aerobic exercise, jumping rope has the “afterburn effect”, also known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), that keeps your body burning calories even after the workout is done.
The right equipment and proper technique are essential to keep jumping long enough to gain these fitness benefits. We turned to one of the most renowned boxing trainers, Micheal Olajide Jr., for some basic tips on both. Read More
