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

Professional tennis returned to Madison Square Garden on December 4th with The Garden Cup, a special one-night-only exhibition tennis match that featured four of the biggest stars in the sport. Four-time grand slam champion Carlos Alcaraz took on American powerhouse Ben Shelton, and US Open stars Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro squared off in an All-American battle.
Though Alcaraz defeated Shelton, and Navarro bested Pegula, exhibition tennis is not really about the competition. Yes, the players are out there to win, but they are really out there to put on a show with a display of behind-the-back, through-the-legs, around-the-net trick shots that elicit a roar from the crowd every point. And speaking of the crowd, occasionally they get pulled on to the court to play a point or two.
One of the sponsors of the Garden Cup was cult tennis brand BOAST who outfitted the officials, event staff, and ball persons. BOAST was also the presenting sponsor of The Garden Cup Junior Match featuring rising stars and identical twins Kristina and Annika Penickova. Since 2008, Madison Square Garden has been a platform for showcasing the best young tennis players in the world, giving juniors the opportunity to experience competition in one of the most iconic venues in sports. Past participants include US Open champions Coco Gauff and Sloane Stephens, as well as American standouts Frances Tiafoe and Reilly Opelka. Read More

Everyday Carry or “EDC” is a new category of accessories. They are tools and gadgets you carry in your pocket or bag for everyday use and emergencies like a knife, pen, flashlight, and multitool. Watches fall into the EDC category as well. But why not throw in a mini massage gun, folding sunglasses, and other fun stuff. Here are a few things from our everyday kit.
E-biking around town, cycling to work, or out on a road ride… everyone knows the importance of wearing a helmet, but your eyes also need protection from the elements like sun, dirt, wind, and rain. Shields and wraparound sunglasses are the best option, because they fit close to the eyes and give the best peripheral vision too — particularly important at the higher speeds of an ebike.
Whether you opt for sport or fashion sunglasses for cycling, there are a few things to consider when it comes to fit and performance:
♦ Make sure the lenses offer 100% UVA/UVB protection. A nice option are photochromic lenses that adjust with changing light conditions. Most performance sunglasses come with clear or lighter lens option to tailor your eye protection to activities and conditions.
♦ Consider the material of your sunglasses. If you live in cold areas, sunglasses made of plastic and nylon are vulnerable to becoming brittle. Look for durable, lightweight, and moldable materials like Grilamid, acetate, and titanium. Avoid glass lenses when cycling as not all are shatterproof should you fall.
♦ Check if you’re better suited to Asian-fit sunglasses, designed for people with lower nose bridges.
Thanksgiving weekend or any quick fall getaway, pack your bag with these mix and match essentials to go from the family gathering to an afternoon hike and a backyard football game too.

When the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) arrived for their first match of the FIFA Womens World Cup , their choice of travel attire marked a significant fashion moment for women’s sports.

It’s also just fun to be able to show up rocking something that’s unique and popping.

The summer of 2019, I stumbled upon a Norwegian outdoor brand, Amundsen, at the Outdoor Retailer trade show. It was a small booth, packed with traditional hiking and outdoor apparel, with a playful and modern take. The first thing that caught my eye were little waxed cotton canvas Field Shorts — 3″ short shorts — with contrasting suede patches. Designed for the rigors of the mountains and trails, they could just as easily be worn on summer outings in town too.
Then I saw colorful lace-up, Boiled Wool Hoodies, a Nordic style known for its warmth, water and wind resistance that has long been used by seafaring and mountain adventurers. My eye wandered next over to the Knickerbockers, paired with classic Mountain Mucks and bright knee-high Performance Socks, all made for seasonless outdoor pursuits.

“I’m originally from Malaysia and moved here for grad school. I just graduated with an MBA in finance. I came here alone and the only person I knew in this whole country was my boyfriend (now fiancé). I thought no big deal, but it was during the pandemic when gyms were closed. Even school was online, so I didn’t have any friends. It was tough. I started coming to AARMY last May when they reopened, and began meeting people. I went from 1 practice a week to multiple times a day. Now I literally have a whole group of friends that I can’t imagine life without.”

For people who enjoy group fitness classes, the reason is usually more than the workout. It’s the group. Some call it a tribe. Others a cult. But it’s a community of like-minded individuals who have found the combination of workout and instructor they love that motivates them unlike any other. They are kindred spirits who come together to sweat together, to push their bodies beyond their expectations and perceived limits, beyond what they believe is possible when training on their own.
This shared fitness experience bonds people, builds friendships, and creates a special alchemy that is addictive — especially when endorphins are surging, and bodies start to transform. For Shobana Prabakaran, Anjali Shah, Mouna Kammoun, Katie Ambrosi, and Vera Papisova (bottom left to right), that place is AARMY. In my years of taking group fitness classes, I’ve never seen a stronger group of women or sculpted physiques to match. Read More
Salt + Snow is a new sport apparel e-commerce site curated and targeted to the ski, surf, and outdoor adventure loving woman. Co-founded by “Chief Adventurists” and friends, Kathy Thomas and Sara Zilkha, the site is designed to be an online marketplace and gathering spot for the female athlete — that beyond shopping is an insider’s guide to the travel, gear, food, and lifestyle that accompanies these sports.
Kathy and Sara met as fellow moms with kids at the same school in NYC. Picked to work on the school auction together, they were joined at the hip for a year, and so successful as a team that they went on to chair the event for 3 years. During that time Kathy invited Sara on a surf trip, a passion she had discovered in her 40’s. It imbued in Sara the same love of the sport. They kept their friendship and surf trips going, even after Sara moved to Aspen with her family.
It was on one of these surf trips that Salt + Snow was conceived. It began as a conversation about their shared obsession for adventure travel. For Kathy it was surf and ski, and for Sara it was other outdoor sports. Both were the types who would plan trips for their friends. In fact, Kathy had been organizing active vacations she called “Chicks on Sticks” for mountain adventures, and “Out the Back” for surfing. Read More

Going for her record tying 24th Grand Slam title (with Margaret Court), she is making as big a statement with her Flo-Jo inspired, one-legged catsuit as she is with her powerful shots.

Famed Japanese contemporary illustrator, Hajime Sorayama, has teamed up with Mizuno to transform its iconic WAVE PROPHECY sneaker into a work of art that is the WAVE PROPHECY SORAYAMA. Sorayama is best known for the erotic machinery of his Sexy Robot series and has added his signature highly stylized, slick and shiny layer to the futuristic evolution of this running shoe.
The most distinctive element of the WAVE PROPHECY SORAYAMA is the sole, already unique its design, which showcases the intersection of Mizuno’s technology with Sorayama’s creative vision. Sorayama wanted the sneaker to inspire “floating in the air” and the resulting design gives the impression it might actually lift off and fly.
This collaboration with Sorayama and Mizuno was not their first. The two teamed up previously on the design of prosthetic running blade called the KATANAΣ, also rendered in his shiny silver, and perhaps even more so embodying his Sexy Robots.
The WAVE PROPHECY SORAYAMA will be available for early release at 2G Tokyo and 2G Osaka on January 30, and at Dover Street Market Ginza and KITH Tokyo on February 6. The shoe is priced at ￥38,500 JPY (approximately $370 USD).

We featured production designer Stefan Beckman’s home furnishings line, Lateral Objects, when it launched last summer with a collection of bright and graphic beach towels. The collection has since expanded into tableware with placemats, napkins, and glasses, along with additional beach products like camp chairs and tote bags — as well as a shop in the Long Island hamlet of Bellport, NY that carries the whole line and more.
Beckman is arguably fashion’s most sought after production designer, creating the sets and stages for such designers as Louis Vuitton, Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, and Bottega Veneta – in addition to his editorial work for such publications as Vogue Italia, W, Love, and Interview. But when the coronavirus pandemic hit, and so much of the fashion industry on lockdown, like many New Yorkers he left the city for his summer home, and set up shop — literally — in Bellport.

adidas Originals has just launched the Home of Classicscollection, bringing together 10 iconic court-inspired silhouettes, both archival and contemporary, to pay tribute to its lineage of classic white leather sneakers. Celebrating the brand’s most popular models, Home of Classics is led by the Stan Smith, Superstar 80s, and Continental 80 that have transcended cultures and generations to go from performance athletic shoes to coveted fashion sneakers. The lineup also features the Supercourt, Torsion Comp, S.C. Premiere, Nizza RF, Rivalry L0, and A.R. Trainer.
STAN SMITH, THE MAN; STAN SMITH, THE BOOK
Highlighting a few of the models, the Stan Smith is perhaps the world’s most recognized tennis shoe, first released in 1973 and worn by the tennis legend namesake. The recently reissued Continental 80 was first designed in France in 1986 and remixes heritage with modern style in a tonal white on white colorway. The Superstar 80s represents 50 years of adidas court experience, taking numerous design cues from the archive and blending them into a new interpretation. The high-top 1975 basketball shoe Nizza Hi RF has been adopted by skateboarding culture and now features an essential vulcanized rubber sole.
Viewed as a whole, Home of Classics is a retrospective of some of adidas Originals’ most influential designs, and a testament to the timelessness of these sneakers. The collection is now available in store and online at adidas.com.

From Roger Federer leaving Nike for a $300 million contract with Uniqlo, to the Palace Skateboard mash-up with Adidas at Wimbledon, to Virgil Abloh’s collaboration with Serena Williams for Nike on her upcoming US Open return… it has been a very fashionable summer for tennis! The tennis courts have become the hot spot for fashion x sport collections and the players the perfect models to show it off in action.
Tennis has always been one of the most fashionable sports. Going back to the 1920’s, Susan Lenglen brought flapper style to the courts. Then there was Gussie Moran in the 1950’s scandelously flaunting white lace knickers at Wimbledon. Designer Ted Tingling was responsible for that fashion moment and made his mark on the game again in the 1970’s as the official designer of the Virginia Slims Womens tour. Later of course, there were players like Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, and Andre Agassi whose tennis looks for Fila, Tacchini and Nike made them tennis style icons.
With the US Open about to kick off in the fashion capital of NYC, we pay homage to the style of the game with a review of the all time greatest looks in tennis history…
1. SUZANNE LENGLEN 1926
1920’s tennis star Suzanne Lenglen was a 34-time major champion and in 1921 the world’s number 1 player. Her dazzling style of play was matched her style of dress on the courts. An International Tennis Hall of Fame member, her bio reads: “The Frenchwoman filled the stands with her flamboyant brilliance on court and her eccentric personality that blurred the lines between superstar athlete and diva.”
Surfer Quincy Davis is your summer dream. A born and raised Montauk local, surfing was a family affair. Her mom, dad and brother all surf and got her on the waves at age 7. At 23, she has those sun-kissed surfer girl looks (and tresses!) that come only from years spent in the ocean. A pro for a while, Quincy no longer surfs competitively but still embodies the surf lifestyle. Her style is cool and effortless with that endless summer vibe. A perennial favorite of all the Hamptons summer magazines, she’s the girl we want to be.
You may not be able to surf like Quincy, but you can dress like you do. Quincy x MTK opened this summer in Montauk and features a curated selection of all her favorite surf and swim apparel, beach accessories, beauty products, and other accoutrements. It’s set in a perfect little shingled space on Main Street she’s always loved. Her brother’s healthy noshery, Happy Bowls, also happens to be next door.
We hit the beach with Quincy to find out more about the shop and her recent collaboration with Cynthia Rowley on the hot new Q x ROWLEY wetsuit featured here… Read More

We love a good mash-up, and the collaboration between these two venerable brands might be one of our all time favorites. The Converse x Carhartt WIP collection features three Chuck Taylor All Star ‘70s Ox sneakers, each style utilizing the classic workwear-inspired Carhartt WIP fabrics of Tiger Camo Ripstop, White Drill, and Hamilton Duck Canvas. Bringing the utilitarian Carhartt influence to the iconic Converse All Star silhouette, the collection highlights everyday wearability and quality craftsmanship.
Converse and Carhartt are two heritage brands rich in both sports history and American culture. The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star, introduced in 1932, is the original basketball shoe, and Carhartt, founded in 1889 was one of the first American companies to pioneer workwear in the USA. Carhartt WIP tailors the company’s core product design to a new consumer who values the brand’s origins while looking for a more modern design and fit.

Just debuted is the Roxy x Lisa Andersen collection, celebrating a quarter century partnership with this legendary surfer. The first woman on the cover of Surfer magazine in 1995, this 4-time world champion (1994–97) became the face of women’s surfing in the 90’s, renowned for her super charging surf style and sun kissed good looks.
The Roxy x Lisa Andersen collection features a range of chic surf staples that pay homage to the era and the woman. From a modern take on the first female boardshort that Roxy created specifically for her in 1994, to surf-ready bikinis and one-pieces, the collection is full of Lisa Andersen inspired classics.
I first met Lisa as an editor at Conde Nast’s Sports For Women right after that cover debuted. The image of her cutting mid-air and dropping back into the wave, with the coverline “Lisa Andersen surfs better than you” was such a defining moment in women’s sports. Surfer was not a women’s magazine, but the dude’s surf bible. When it made that declaration it leveled the playing field and created a surf icon. Read More

In anticipation of Roland-Garros, aka The French Open, Lacoste has partnered with designer Yazbukey in a new LACOSTE x Yazbukey tennis collection. Yazbukey is known for creating whimsical accessories with a Pop Art inspired aesthetic, which she has integrated into this capsule collection of apparel and accessories.
The LACOSTE x Yazbukey collection humorously combines the visual world of Yazbukey with the tennis heritage of the crocodile and Lacoste brand. Says Lacoste creative director, Felipe Oliveira Baptista, “I always think it’s a good thing to take the brand to places where people don’t expect it and have its story told through a different world.”
A tennis match played by three tennis ball-shaped emoticons and a crocodile is the running theme throughout the line that features polo shirts, tees, tote bags, hats, leather goods, and more. Describes Yazbukey, “We created three characters for a tennis match – or a game of seduction – with four players: the crocodile and three tennis balls”.
The Lacoste x Yazbukey collection of men’s, women’s and children’s apparel and accessories will be available on Lacoste.com and at select Lacoste boutiques starting April 12th.

Looking for a little motivation to get you out on the road? How about a new pair of running shoes! We asked Nike, Asics, Newton, Hoka, and Brooks to send us their top picks for a lightweight neutral trainer. Since different runners like different shoes, I invited Sarah Toland, co-author of Lindsay Vonn’s recently published book, Strong Is The New Beautiful, and a 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier in the 5K and 10K, to road test these running shoes with me. She’s a tall and lanky gazelle of a runner, while I’m shorter and more compact in my running style — what Sarah describes as “a recreational marathoner with zeal”. My goal is simply to get from point A to point B. Hers is to do it fast! Here are two different runners thoughts on five of the newest top trainers:
CLICK SHOES TO SHOP!

Just in time for the holidays comes this capsule collection of slope shreddin’ socks from Olympic snowboarder Hannah Teter and Bombas. A gold medalist in the Half-Pipe at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games and silver medalist at the 2010 Games, Teter has partnered with Bombas to create a snowboard sock that meets the technical demands of one of the sport’s best riders along with a design as flashy as her style.
The Hannah Teter x Bombas socks provide more than just good looks and performance. Bombas was founded by Randy Goldberg and Dave Heath, who discovered that socks were the #1 most requested item at homeless shelters. They decided to create a sock that gives back. For every pair purchased, one pair is donated to the homeless, and they are specifically designed to handle an abundance of wear and tear. Bombas has donated over 1.5 million pairs so far with many more to be given away this holiday season!
Teter was honored to partner with Bombas on such a worthy venture and the Hannah Teter x Bombas socks are designed to meet her exacting requirements of extreme comfort, bold style, and gold-medal winning performance. They are made with high-grade merino wool that’s soft, warm, and naturally moisture wicking, with a full cushioned leg for all day comfort and airflow venting to prevent overheating.

Once the day is done and it’s time to kick off those boots, there’s the Aztec inspired design with the signature Bombas bee to add some playful style to any cozy apres-snow fun. So feel good this holiday season on and off the slopes with a snowboard sock that keeps giving good vibes long after the day is done.

Happy NYC Marathon Sunday! Today more than 50,000 runners will take over the streets of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx to cover the 5 boroughs and 26.2 miles that make up the New York City Marathon. What makes this one of the greatest sporting events in the world are not the pros — we know they can do it — but the thousands of regular folks like you and I, who decide this is the year they are going to run this unfathomable distance, and put in every ounce of their heart and soul into crossing that finish line.
One of the best pre-Marathon sights are the visiting runners on the roads and trails of Central Park. You can spot them from a mile away. Something about their bright colors and uniform style gives them away… or perhaps it’s the name of their homeland proudly displayed on their running jerseys.
So on a gorgeous fall morning, Style of Sport’s good buddy Michelle Smith, Designer and Founder of Milly, and I went for a stroll around the Central Park Reservoir to check out the running attire for this year’s race. Michelle is known for her popping colors, playful silhouettes, graphic tees – and an inimitable way of expressing her opinion. You’ll have to Google “AF” if you’re not familiar with that term.
Here is her fashion take on the runners of the NYC Marathon, as only she can give you! Read More

Finally jumping into the activewear market — and with a sports performance partner to add some credibility — is J.Crew in collaboration with New Balance. Designed for running, spinning, yoga, boxing and more, and styled with that quintessential J.Crew chic preppy style, the New Balance x J. Crewwomen’s active collection seeks to be activewear you can actually be active in, besides running errands and wearing to lunch with friends.
Many have wondered what took J.Crew so long to get in the game. J.Crew CEO, Millard “Mickey” Drexler, had been quoted saying they planned to sit out the athletic trend, realizing they did not have the expertise to create sports apparel. Partnering with one of the pre-eminent sport brands, New Balance, whose sneakers J.Crew has been selling since 2005, has solved that problem. As Drexler explained in WWD, “We did not have the expertise to do this alone. We have style sense and quality sense. But we didn’t have the technical sense in getting it done. It’s really important for us to do it — and to do it right.”
To show this is performance activewear, the collection is being modeled on real athletes and fitness personalities that include Gracie Cavalho, Muay Thai Boxer; Taryn Toomey, founder of “The Class”; Taye Johnson, a SoulCycle instructor; and Rachael Wang, an editor and runner. The New Balance x J. Crew collection goes on sale Tuesday, October 11 with 20 styles that include women’s sneakers, leggings, shorts, sports bras, tanks, short and long sleeved tops, jackets and pullovers, with plans to expand into men’s this spring. The collection will be sold both online and in 35 J.Crew stores in the U.S., as well as London and Toronto.

L.L.BEAN DAVID ORTIZ COMMEMORATIVE BOAT & TOTE BAG
In celebration of the retirement of “Big Papi” and his contributions to the Red Sox, L.L.Bean has created the limited edition David Ortiz Commemorative Boat and Tote Bag, made from upcycled rain delay tarps used on the field at Fenway Park. The bag features Ortiz’s nickname “Big Papi” in gold lettering, and an interior pocket that reads “LEG3ND4RY,” a nod to his number 34 jersey — along with a graphic of Ortiz’s signature post-home run stance, pointing to the sky in tribute to his mother who died in a car crash in 2002.
Because the tote is made from repurposed materials, each one is unique, and a collector’s item for baseball and L.L.Bean fans alike. It’s a chance for Red Sox fans to own a piece of history representing two of their beloved icons, Fenway Park and David Ortiz, and this swan song season has been one of Big Papi’s biggest. Ortiz has hit 36 homers so far this year, the most for any player in their final season.
Available at select L.L.Bean stores and online beginning Friday, September 30th, the tote retails for $99.95. Due to anticipated demand, sales will be limited to one per customer. 34 of the net proceeds from the sale of these bags will be donated to the David Ortiz Children’s Fund, a non-profit organization committed to helping children in New England and the Dominican Republic who do not have access to the critical pediatric services they need. A big heart goes with that big bat… and that big bag.

J.Crew has just launched a collection of 3 rash guards in collaboration with artist Rob Pruitt. Inspired by his Gradient Faces Series, 50% of the proceeds from these rash guard will be donated to the Skin Cancer Foundation in support of UV Safety month for July.
Rob Pruitt is a contemporary American conceptual artist whose work is notoriously eclectic, humorous, and ironic. Describing his own work, Pruitt has said his pieces are “basically blown-up versions of dining table craft projects.” A common thread in his work is multiplicity and he often creates serial paintings that share the same subject yet contain twists in composition. His Gradient Faces series is an example: scrawled line drawings of different facial expressions which are then transferred onto color gradients and flocked.
The Rob Pruitt for J.Crew collection is now available at J.Crew. Says Pruitt, “Seeing my art on a rash guard is like seeing my art on a human body as opposed to a canvas. I like how it changes from person to person.”

Brian Bielmann, 58, has been a surf photographer for almost 40 years, and is one of the biggest names in the industry. His nephew, Brent Beilmann, 25, is the hot new lensman in the water, whose images are regularly featured on the pages of Surfing magazine. Both are distinguished by their fearlessness — getting on the waves with their subjects, and putting us in the water with the world’s best surfers.
A few months ago, Brian got a phone call from the Gap saying they were interested in producing a line of surf t-shirts with his images. He then got a phone call from his nephew saying he had received the same call. As it turned out, both were being followed on Instagram by two different people at the Gap who thought the two Bielmanns were one. Once they realized the two were related and what a fun story that was, the concept of featuring the images of both photographers in the Gap x Bielmann Surfer Graphic Tee collection was born.
“I’ve been shooting on the front lines and have paved the way for surf photographers in the present, including Brent, who’s carrying on the Bielmann name, continuing to push the limits by getting deeper inside the barrel in death defying waves”, says Brian. “My story of starting out as young photographer, almost dying on the reef and hitting head first, lead me into shooting more than surfing, making the Bielmann name a household name. Brent’s story was more about having to live up to the Bielmann name, and ending up really pushing new boundaries. It’s really a mentor and tutor kind of theme, and now we are both still killing it.”
The 6-piece collection features 3 images from each and is now available online at Gap.com. To read more about Brian and view a portfolio of his work, check out this feature we did in 2014: PORTFOLIO: BRIAN BIELMANN

Now available is one of the most eagerly awaited and very buzzed about new activewear lines, Ivy Park — the joint venture created by entertainment superstar Beyonce and retail magnate Sir Philip Green. This graphic wow of a collection features a full range and wide assortment of leggings, tanks, sport bras, sweatshirts, tees, and more, designed not just for style but for performance. If these pieces can keep up with Beyonce’s moves, that’s a testament in itself!
Sexy mesh, oversized logos, and varsity style are combined for a cool mix of gym gone glam. A sophisticated palette of black, white, grays, and neutrals are offset with the addition cobalt in the mix. Compression fits, seemless support, and wicking fabrics accentuate the comfort and performance focus of the line. The number 4 plays throughout — the date of Beyoncé, her mother, and her husband’s Jay-Z’s birthdays, as well as the couple’s wedding anniversary.
While Sir Philip Green is most notable as the Chairman of Arcadia Group that includes Topshop, Ivy Park is a standalone brand that will be available at 12 retailers in 50 countries worldwide, such as Nordstrom, Net-A-Porter, Selfridges, Hudson Bay, as well as Topshop. It seems hard to imagine that this collection won’t sell out fast, so you best walk, run, ride, or dance your way over to one of these retailers (available online too) to get your hands on a piece of Queen Bey!

Opening today in West Hollywood, CA. is the first Martone Cycling Co. pop-up shop. Along with the chic and playful Martone bicycles, the shop will be carrying a myriad of athletic and “athleisure” brands, plus sporty accessories, curated by us here at Style of Sport! Some of our favorite brands like Onzie, Tracksmith, Alala, MPG Sport, and Vuarnet (the iconic sunglass brand recently relaunched in the US!) will be featured in the store.
Designed in New York City, the brightly colored monochromatic Martone bicycles are as rugged as they are fashionable. Composed of steel alloy and aluminum, with puncture resistant tires to take on city streets, the bikes weigh in at a mere 26 pounds with the basket. The brand’s main differentiator in functionality is the “MCC Duomatic,” an innovative SRAM 2 speed gear system that shifts gears automatically depending on slope and speed. MCC is the only bicycle brand to employ this technology in the United States, letting the rider glide smoothly, and of course, in style!
Located at 8366 ½ W. 3rd Street (between Orlando and Sweetzer) in West Hollywood, the pop-up will be open throughout the month of April. Produced in conjunction with Liberty Fairs, the shop will offer Angelenos a unique peek into the world of Martone Cycling, with bicycles, activewear and accessories made for the LA lifestyle.

CENTER COLUMN: ASSOS ZEGHO AMPLIFY SUNGLASSES $439. Looking as much like fashion opticals as sport shades, these flashy bike sunglasses are as equally dedicated to technical performance as style. Yes, they have a hefty price tag, but Assos partnered with Carl Zeiss Optics to create the ultimate lightweight, durable, one-piece lens with zero optical distortion — even at its curviest parts. The Zeiss lens spans and contours the face for a full 180 degree field of view, and a unique tinting gradient called “Tunnel Vision” provides optimal vision in changing light conditions. The Zeiss coating that hardens the lens is also anti-smudge, anti-static, hydrophobic and oleophobic for the ultimate protection on the road. ADIDAS PUREBOOST X WOMENS RUNNING SHOES $120. The newest entry into the very popular BOOST category from Adidas is the PureBOOST X that features the first ever floating arch. While most running shoes are adaptations of male shoes, the contours of the female foot inspired its design, and the high performance PureBOOST X was created purely with the female athlete in mind. The adaptive stretch mesh wraps underneath the midfoot to hug and support the foot throughout the run, while the BOOST midsole unleashes powerful energy and responsive cushioning. TANGRAM FACTORY SMART ROPE $79.98. Jumping rope goes high tech with this LED embedded jump rope that displays your fitness data midair while you work out. 2 sets of ball bearings in each handle create a smooth movement, while magnetic sensors track jumps.

Coinciding with the release of their spring/summer collection, the second season of Tory Sport, is the brand’s much anticipated new store, prominently located in the Flatiron district of Manhattan. An assortment of other sport and fitness brands like Athleta, Nike Running, and New Balance have opened up flagship stores in this area in the last few years, as well as most recently the chic workout wear emporium, Bandier, making it a mecca for those looking for the hippest athletic and “athleisure” apparel.
Tory Sport, the activewear line from Tory Burch, debuted last fall with a pop-up that took over the Tory Burch store on Elizabeth St. Classic and elegant, yet playful and sporty, the spacious new store reflects the spirit of the line. Blue awnings and large screens, featuring videos and images that celebrate the grace and strength of athletes, pop against the building’s historic façade. The interior plays with contrast, providing a clean and minimal backdrop that lets the colorful palette and playful patterns of the new season pop.
Said CEO and Designer Tory Burch, “We thought about the casual vibe of a 70’s surf lodge and reimagined it with Scandinavian design principles.” The feel is chic sports club, with subtle references throughout — leather handrails evoke the grips of old-school tennis racquets, striped floors resemble pool lap lines, and a diamond pattern etched into nickel wall panels references a tennis net.

As they did two years ago with a football helmet collaboration, the NFL and CFDA have partnered once again to produce a collection of 50 designer footballs that go on auction today through Feb.14, at NFL.COM/Auction, in support of the NFL Foundation. In celebration of Super Bowl 50, 50 CFDA members have created their own Bespoke Designer Footballs, including such designers as Nicole Miller, Georgina Chapman, Billy Reid, Lisa Perry, Todd Snyder and Betsey Johnson. The balls all have a gold theme, symbolic of the 50th anniversary of the Super Bowl, but otherwise these football creations reflect the distinctive style of each designer.
“We are absolutely thrilled to continue our work with the CFDA and their amazing roster of designers to showcase that fans can merge their love of fashion and football,” said Rhiannon Madden, NFL Vice President Consumer Products. “The auction of these one-of-a-kind footballs that capture the excitement of Super Bowl 50, and bring each designers individual aesthetic to life, will benefit the NFL foundation.”
The designer balls will be unveiled Jan. 20 at the NFL’s offices in New York, and displayed in San Francisco in the week leading up to Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016. The footballs will be featured in NFL Shop at Super Bowl, NFL Experience and On The Fifty, the Super Bowl 50 restaurant, among other NFL events around Levi’s Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The NFL Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those touched by the game of football. Through its grant programs, the Foundation supports youth and high school football programs, health and safety efforts such as Heads Up Football, and community health initiatives, including NFL PLAY 60.

The wheels, designed with an overabundance of spokes, enhance its elegant design. Add to that a classic Brooks saddle.

Adding beauty, speed and sustainability together, the Archont Electro is sure to get your motor running!
SAMSUNG GEAR S2, MOVADO MUSEUM SPORT MOTION, TAG HEUER CONNECTED
The Apple Watch gave a new face to wearable technology, creating a beautifully designed timepiece that doubles as a mini, albeit limited, wrist computer. It has inspired a smart looking set of new smartwatches, integrating smartphone technology and biometric tracking into a wristwatch. The Samsung Gear S2, Movado Museum Sport Motion, and Tag Heuer Connected are 3 of the hot new smartwatches to hit the market.

The first Google smartwatch powered by Intel, the TAG Heuer Connected is built on the latest release of Android Wear with thousands of apps available at the Google Play store.

Wind and weather monitoring, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a microphone for voice commands are other features, and it is available in in seven colors.

HORIZON AIR AIRLINE SEATS; LOOPTWORKS ALASKA AIRLINES CARRY ON CROSSBODY
Horizon Air, the regional carrier for Alaska Airlines, periodically replaces the seat covers on their planes as a part of their regular maintenance procedures. When that time came most recently, they approached the Portland, OR, based company, Looptworks, to come up with a cool way to upcycle the leather on the seats into something completely new. Looptworks is brand that works with a variety of high profile and socially responsible companies to transform what would end up in a landfill into beautiful new products. Thus was created the Looptworks Alaska Airlines Carry-On Collection, which includes a wallet, laptop sleeve, tote, crossbody and messenger bag — all made with repurposed seat leather from Horizon Air.
Looptworks designs and manufactures bags made only with excess and waste materials – and they do it in a tangible way that makes sustainability a more graspable concept. They “upcycle”, a subset of recycling, which means they repurpose waste material into something that has equal or greater value. The extra neoprene from wetsuit manufacturers; high-end merino wool from architectural textile firm FilzFelt; leather from Langlitz Leathers, the legendary mecca for motorcycle jackets in Portland, are all reborn as bags that are as great looking as they environmentally friendly.
Top L-R: FELT AND LEATHER MESSENGER BAG $300. Partnership with FilzFelt, makers of German-milled, 100% Merino wool felt. Accentuated with premium excess leather from the footwear industry. LOOPT CLASSICS DUFFLE $350. Made with excess jacket leather from Langlitz Leathers. LUV SEAT BACKPACK $250. Made from authentic Southwest Airlines seat leather. Bottom L-R: ALASKA AIRLINES CARRY ON MESSENGER BAG $230. Hand-made, hand-numbered, and backed by lifetime warranty. HOPTU LAPTOP SLEEVE $30. Manufactured from excess wetsuit neoprene. NORTHWEST MESSENGER BAG $180. Made from premium, distressed leather from the bag industry and 1680 polyester from the outdoor gear industry.
Looptworks uses materials that are not just post-consumer, like the airline seats, but also virgin materials that have never been used— excess and scraps too small for the product originally intended, but perfect for something else. And part of their mission is finding those companies to partner with who are also looking to relieve the impact of the manufacturing process on the environment. Says Nick Mastors, Marketing Director of Looptworks, “There are a bunch of companies already out there creating a bunch of waste. If we can we find ways of repurposing that waste and turning it into something useful, then it directly offsets the need to make the same product with new materials.”
With our planet facing such extreme environmental challenges, the word sustainability gets thrown around, and sometimes it’s too overwhelming to comprehend. With the mandate to use only what already exists, Looptworks is taking that on one bag at a time. Says Mastors, “The name Looptworks refers to a closed-loop manufacturing system, where everything that is created, at the end of its useful life gets re-entered into the supply chain such that we don’t have to cut down forests, we don’t have to have landfill, we don’t have to mine for things. And it’s very cool to hold in your hand a product that directly embodies that vision.”
And cool these bags are. It’s one thing to be so environmentally and socially responsible in your manufacturing processes, but another to design a product so stylish and functional that people would buy it regardless. The Looptworks bags are just that, and make great holiday gifts too!

Apparently, the supply of $145 mesh panel leggings and $75 floral sports bralettes has no end in sight. BANDIER, the fitness fashion boutique that stocks a wide array of luxe workout brands with locations in Southampton and Manhattan, plus a large e-commerce site, just announced three new stores in Manhasset, Dallas, and New York City’s Fifth Avenue.
“There’s definitely a huge demand for activewear in all of these places,” says founder Jennifer Bandier, who turned her passion for fitness (and role as a former music exec for bands like TLC) into a multi-brand activewear concept, where brands like Stella McCartney and K. Deer mingle on racks with Michi and Prismsport. “People are coming in and don’t want to wear one brand from head-to-toe, just like normal apparel. They like that they can come in to our store and mix-and-match curated fitness fashion pieces,” she says.
On October 21, Bandier’s Manhasset store will join Louis Vuitton and Chanel at The Americana Manhasset, which will cater to women on Long Island and its growing boutique fitness scene. The Dallas store, opening on November 6, will also open in luxury retail shopping center, Highland Park Village, making it the first Bandier boutique outside of New York. Something founder Bandier hints could be replicated again in 2016. Read More

Sport and fashion have collided in a kaleidoscopic collection of Emilio Pucci skateboards, decked out with seven unmistakeably distinctive prints. The Italian fashion house challenged Swiss art and design students at University of ECAL in Lausanne to rethink Pucci’s classic aesthetics, and these vibrant skateboards are the result. Called “Dolce Vita”, this limited edition series features a playful mix of colors and patterns like ice cream cones, pasta shapes, high heels, diamonds, and other symbols of Italian culture.
There are two styles of skateboards, available in seven patterns and accented by colorful wheels. The Street model is a pro style skateboard designed for street and skate park tricks, and the Cruiser, with larger softer wheels, is for everyday recreational riding. All the Pucci boards are crafted with hand-selected hardwood and printed for optimum photo quality, scratch resistance, and durability.
Pucci teamed up with Nowness and director Edward Housden to create a short film, “Rolling with Emilio Pucci” which debuts the skateboard series. The five-minute film features model Martha-Rose Redding, sporting a silk crèpe di chine dress from the 2016 Pilot Resort Collection. She rides the Cruiser Shape as two boys rival her on the Street Shape. Without saying a word, the film articulates the chic and versatile style of the Pucci boards.
The boards are available for €370 (or roughly $420) exclusively at emiliopucci.com while quantities last. Designed for both skaters and fashionistas alike, better get on board fast before they all skate away!

Continuing our COUNTDOWN TO RIO series, a preview of the sports, athletes and gear we will be seeing next August at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, take a look at the Omega Seamaster Bullhead “RIO 2016” watch. This commemorative timepiece celebrates the Olympic games, highlighting the colors of the Olympic rings with its blue leather strap, and yellow, green, red and black stitching. This color theme is continued on the 60-minute rotating inner bezel, designed to reflect the unity and harmony the Olympic rings signify. There is a 30-minute recorder at 12 o’clock, a seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock and a date window at 3 o’clock.
Omega is the “Official Timekeeper” of the Olympic Games and has been since Los Angeles 1932 when 30 stopwatches were used to time the events to 1/10th of a second. From the evolution to photoelectric timing to 1/1000th of a second, automatic start gates, photo finishes, swimming touch pads, and on screen television time clocks — what athletes are accustomed to when competing and spectators when watching the Olympics, have all been a part of the Omega history of sport timekeeping.
Reflecting a piece of this history, Omega first released this style in 1969. Only 316 of the Seamaster Bullhead “RIO 2016” pieces are being produced. Stamped with the Rio 2016 Olympic Games logo on the caseback, this commemorative watch is sure to become a collector’s item.

Arguably the most anticipated new player in the surging “Athleisure” market takes the field today. Tory Sport is the new line of athletic wear from Tory Burch, a stand alone brand that is making its debut with a big statement. The line covers a wide range of sport and fitness pursuits, that include running, yoga, tennis, golf, swim and surf, as well as casual pieces for going to and from the gym. Launching with a pop-up shop in Manhattan’s Nolita district, taking over the original Tory Burch boutique on Elizabeth Street, Tory Sport takes the distinctive Tory Burch aesthetic and puts the focus on performance.
Featuring both apparel and accessories, Tory Sport is a chic and elegant take on the sporting life. A lifelong athlete herself, Tory Burch told Style Of Sport, “I was very much a jock growing up. I rode horses, played tennis, lacrosse, and played whatever my brothers did.” Burch still plays a lot of tennis, runs, paddleboards, enjoys hot yoga and spinning. For Tory Sport, functionality has been of the utmost importance from the get go. Said Burch, “We wanted the function to be a given — not necessarily obvious. We spent a lot of time with the inside of the fabric, like taking a running jacket and making it bonded and seam sealed. Quality is super important for us. It’s real function meets style.”
CLOCKWISE TOP LEFT: MESH BACK BRA; FRONT ZIP RASHGUARD & BIKINI BRIEF; ALL WEATHER RUN JACKET; NEOPRENE TOTE FEATURES AERATED SHOE COMPARTMENT; COLOR BLOCK TRACK JACKET & PANTS; STRETCH POPLIN SHIRT WITH RIB KNIT CUFFS AND MESH SIDE PANELS; PLAID KNIT RUBBER SOLED BALLET FLAT; V-NECK TENNIS DRESS & WARM UP JACKET
Tory Sport draws from the 70’s sport references with which Burch grew up. “I found I was wearing things from high school that had this retro vibe. “The Royal Tennenbaums” was inspiration, but we wanted to make it modern and do a cool take on that.” A classic pleated pique v-neck tennis dress is crafted from lightweight performance jersey. A running jacket takes vintage varsity style and makes it wind and waterproof, with a hood that zips into the collar. The swimsuits take that graphic swim team style and blend it with quick drying UPF 50 Eurojersey. Patterned and color blocked leggings, tanks and sport bras integrate such technical features as compression, mesh, and reflective detailing — functional details more typical for a sport brand than a fashion line — infusing classic style with modern performance.
At the same time, what Tory Sport calls “Coming & Going” features casual sporty pieces meant for that transition time pre and post workout. A classic 70’s track suit, pearl covered slip-on sneakers, a merino turtleneck sweater, and a tech knit striped skirt, among other styles, are looks designed to be worn all day.
Paying the same attention to details as the line, the Tory Sport pop up is an integral part of the launch, with a look that is a new take on old country club style. The clean white interior is highlighted by bright canvas cushioned latticework furniture, a graphic surfboard and vintage sport photography. Wainscoting and wide-plank floors create a relaxed and easy setting. There is a monogramming station and vinyl letter press where customers can have select styles—from 70s-inspired track jackets and leggings to wristbands and T-shirts—personalized with their initials. A custom vending machine is filled with vintage sport magazines as well as golf tees, tennis balls, frisbees, water bottles and grip tape.
Tory Sport is available exclusively at torysport.comand at the Tory Sport pop-up shop at 257 Elizabeth St. A permanent Flatiron-district store is set to open in March of 2016.

When champion golfer Michelle Wie hits the links this weekend at the Evian Championship in France, she will be bringing a new look to the course. This self-professed sneakerhead has long been a fan of the Nike Blazer, the iconic high top basketball shoe which first debuted in 1972. Looking for a golf shoe that would reflect her distinct sense of style and shake it up a bit on the fairway, Wie asked Nike to design a variation for golf.
Produced in hot pink with a camouflage Swoosh, and paired with a performance outsole engineered for traction, the Nike Blazer Golf serves both the style and functionality requisites of the athlete. Wie, who wanted to feel more support on her her swing and greater connection to the ground, saw the high top as the solution. As an additional style detail, inside the tongue are the scores from each round of Wie’s unforgettable 2014 US Open victory, her first major win.
OH… AND THIS IS HER NEW HAIRSTYLE TOO!
Over the past four decades, the Nike Blazer has evolved to include silhouettes designed for skate, sportswear and, now, golf. The Women’s Nike Blazer from Nike Golf will be available in early 2016 at nike.com and select retailers.
Last night the much anticipated collaboration between Derek Lam 10 Crosby and Athleta made its debut at the new Athleta Soho store in NYC. With the booming “athleisure” trend and explosive growth of women’s activewear, Athleta and Derek Lam 10 Crosby saw the opportunity to create a collection that incorporates Lam’s design aesthetic with Athleta’s technical fabrics and fitness expertise. Combining fashion with performance, the result is a minimal but fun, stylish but functional collection of athletic apparel that easily makes the transition from the gym to all day wear.
This is the first designer collaboration for Athleta who saw Derek Lam as the perfect partner to create a lifestyle collection that transcends the gym. Color blocked leggings and tops, oversized striped cashmere sweaters, leather hoodies and track pants, and layered sweatshirts are few of the signature pieces. Said Athleta President Nancy Green to Style Of Sport, “I wanted to do a collaboration with a designer as extremely talented as Derek, and create something that didn’t exist out there.”
“Our customer leads a very active lifestyle,” said Derek Lam. “Fitness is very much a part of it and we always strive to create clothing which works in her life. Athleta’s expertise in performance fabrics and fibers has offered us a really exciting opportunity to create a collection which complements perfectly what we do for Derek Lam 10 Crosby.”

BIRDWELL BEACH BRITCHES OPENS NEW MANHATTAN BEACH SHOP
In 1961, Carrie Birdwell Mann transformed her small southern California home into a sewing room and store, launching Birdwell Beach Britches. It was one of the first businesses specializing in surf wear, making her living room one of the first surf shops. Her first employees were her husband and son, and her first customers were lifeguards in Newport Beach. These simple nylon board shorts with their quirky “Birdie” mascot would become the staple of Southern California lifeguards and surfers, and establish Birdwell as their iconic heritage brand.
54 years since its founding, Birdwell has just opened its first ever standalone shop in Manhattan Beach, California. Designed by Birdwell’s creative director Natas Kaupas, legendary skateboarder and surf influencer, the Manhattan Beach store is the embodiment of his vision for the brand. The interior’s displays and walls are decorated with art and artifacts from Birdwell’s rich Southern California history and the structural elements used in the space evoke the strength and utility of Birdwell’s purpose built apparel. The shop features a vast selection of Birdwell product, including custom designs and limited-edition styles not available anywhere else.
The calendar may say summer is winding down, but there are still plenty of beach days left for a new pair of Birdwells. The store is located at 1300 Highland Street, Unit 106, Manhattan Beach, CA.

WILT CHAMBERLAIN IN THE ORIGINAL CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR;
THE NEW CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR II HI-TOP
Last week’s introduction of the new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II was met with excitement, apprehension, and curiosity. Chuck Taylors are an American staple. There is a pair in almost every closet — young and old, rich and poor, famous and unknown. They are the original basketball shoes — the sneakers in which Wilt Chamberlain famously scored 100 points in 1962. One wondered, how could a legendary shoe with such history, popularity, and a dedicated following possibly be in need of an update. Didn’t Coca-Cola learn its lesson in 1985, introducing “New Coke” to such disdain and anger they had to return to the original “Classic Coke”?
Before American iconography and basketball heroes, there was 47-year-old Marquis Mills Converse, who in 1908 opened Converse Rubber Shoe Company in Malden, Massachusetts. Not until 1917 was the All Star basketball shoe introduced, and a few years later in 1921, basketball player Charles “Chuck” Taylor went to work for the company. Taylor became an ambassador for Converse’s All Star basketball shoes. Within a year, his suggestions to change the design of the shoe to provide enhanced flexibility and more support were adopted. In 1932, the All Star signature patch was added to the classic, high-topped sneakers and they became known as the Chuck Taylor All Star.

Nike bought Converse in 2003 for $305 million cash and the brand has become one of the biggest sources of revenues for the company. Converse sales approached $2 billion in 2015, according to The New York Times. Smart enough to recognize the mistake Coke made replacing a beloved product with a new one, the Chuck Taylor All Star II is simply an addition to the line, and the original is still available.

MILLY’S MICHELLE SMITH AND SOULCYCLE’S STACEY GRIFFITH
It is starting to feel like Milly month around here! Last week we went behind the scenes at Milly Cabana, and this week we’re back with her t-shirt collaboration with another Style of Sport favorite, Soul Cycle Master Instructor, Stacey Griffith. The StaceyG+Milly limited edition collection of tanks and tees recently debuted and are proving to be the “IT” item of the summer with celebs like J.Lo, Demi Lovato, and supermodel Hilary Rhoda spotted wearing them in both the Hamptons and LA.
Stacey Griffith is undoubtably SoulCycle’s hottest instructor, with an obsessively dedicated following that includes Milly’s Designer & Founder, Michelle Smith. For those who take Stacey’s classes regularly, phrases like “No One Remembers Normal”, “Charge It Hard Like Your Amex Card” and “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” are just a few of the comedic bits of motivation she throws out during class to keep everyone going full throttle. Says Michelle, “These Stacey-isms are our funny, witty, snarky, spiritual wisdom for the day.”
What began as party favors inspired the collection. Michelle had been making Milly t-shirts for a while and decided to print up a bunch with these inimitable quotes for Stacey’s birthday back in April. Seeing the words in print and with a few A-listers sporting them around SoulCycle, the collaboration was inevitable. With their popularity, more are soon to come and mens tees are on the way too.

Rapha is one of the sport brands that most epitomizes the Style of Sport, with its line of chic and sophisticated, performance oriented cycling apparel. Based in London, the company produces bike jerseys, pants, and shoes, in addition to other apparel and accessories designed for the discerning cyclist, and has now introduced sunglasses into the collection.
Handmade in Italy, Rapha Classic Sunglasses are designed with more of a casual aesthetic that are ideal for the bike commuter, yet versatile enough for training rides. Offering a similar weight and field of vision as the more technical-looking styles, these glasses have a wraparound shape inspired by the history of bike-racing eyewear. This shape also aids airflow, ensuring the lenses won’t fog up and that the glasses can be worn with all helmet types. Rubber-tipped nose pads and rubber arms hold the glasses in place.
The lens technology is supplied courtesy of Carl Zeiss Vision, and are available in three distinctive colorways. All are coated for 100% protection from UV rays, and both the green and brown lenses are polarized for anti-glare. The pink lens is designed for low-light conditions. Rapha Classic Sunglasses retail for $295.
On the bike and off, we are loving this newest addition to the Rapha family!

Last summer, while photo editing “Models of Influence” by Nigel Barker, I spent a lot of time flipping though old Elle magazines looking for images of the 80’s supermodels. It was there that I found a new appreciation for those sexy sporty Gilles Bensimon pictures of models like Elle Macpherson, Rachel Williams and Famke Jansson, seen through the Style Of Sport lens. I knew my friend Michelle Smith, the Founder and Designer of Milly, would love them too.
Michelle and I are “Soulmates”, getting sweaty together on a regular basis at SoulCycle. But we are also connected by our obsession with those iconic moments in fashion history, a visual language that we share from years spent in the business — me, in editorial and her, in design.
It was, in fact, those 80’s Elle images that became the inspiration for her Milly Cabana swimwear collection in stores in November. Michelle gave Style of Sport an inside peek of what’s to come and shared how a bunch of old tear sheets evolved into this evocative and sporty collection.
STYLE OF SPORT: Alright… so tell me how this all begins. What is your creative process?
MICHELLE SMITH: It starts in two different ways. I start looking at images. I have this vibe in my mind, and I’m also looking at a lot of colors and fabric swatches at the same time. So you’re in my office right now and you see a lot of stuff on the floor that makes no sense (laughs), but to me this makes total sense. I know where everything is and this is actually really neat for me. When I’m working, when I’m like really into it, my whole floor is covered in fabric and so they kind of feed off each other. Like the fabrics and the colors are feeding off these inspiration images that I’m pulling, and it’s sort of building and creating this look and it’s focusing in on one particular thing. I was really inspired, and I actually reached out to you looking for that essence of the late 80s — Elle magazine, Gilles Bensimon, Elle Macpherson, really active, sporty, healthy, vibrant, gorgeous vibe.

The Wimbledon tennis tournament is one of the oldest sporting events in the world, first played in 1887. It is the third of the Grand Slam events and the only major still played on grass. When the tournament commences Monday, all players will step on to the court in white, as they have done for more than 125 years, adhering the strict traditional dress code of The All England Club. This year’s tournament will be whiter than ever with accent colors being limited to no more than 1 centimeter of trim.

If a fitness fashion brand spent summers on Cape Cod or Martha’s Vineyard, ran track growing up, and wore more J.Crew than Helmut Lang, it would be TRACKSMITH. And if you’re someone who’s more likely to be caught in your dad’s worn-in Oxford than rocking a leather jacket, it might just be the line you’ve been waiting for. The Boston-born activewear brand, which launched a men’s line last summer, is debuting its women’s collection online today (and with a pop up on Boston’s Newbury Street just in time for the Boston Marathon crowds).
Tracksmith has deep roots in the history and tradition of running—and it’s inspired by the classic, New England (and yes, a little bit preppy) style. So their aesthetic is whole different than what you’ll find on Carbon38’s site or at Bandier. Translation: There’s not a pop of neon, mesh detail, or splashy print in sight.
The line is the brainchild of co-founder and CEO Matt Taylor, who has running in his blood. Taylor was a collegiate track runner at Yale, worked as the marketing director of Puma for a few years, and created the wildly popular Usain Bolt mobile app during the 2012 Olympics. Read More

When Rory McIlroy tees off this weekend at the Irish Open at Royal Country Down, he will not be be playing for himself but for the Rory Foundation, which raises funds for children’s charities around the world. He announced that if he wins, he’ll give the $638,000 first prize to the Rory Foundation.
He will also let his feet do the talking. During each round of the Irish Open, McIlroy will lace up a different pair of strikingly unique Nike Lunar Control 3 golf shoes, each designed by a child whose life has been impacted by cancer. McIlroy, the Rory Foundation and Nike worked together with the Cancer Fund for Children, a charity in Northern Ireland that provides support to kids whose lives have been affected by cancer, to raise awareness through these NIKEiD designs.
“I’m delighted that the young people associated with the Cancer Fund for Children got to design my shoes,” said McIlroy. “The shoes are really unique with some crazy designs. The Irish Open is going to be a very special event for golf and my Foundation and I am excited to compete in them this week.” These NIKEiD designs can be purchased on NIKEiD.com and a portion of the proceeds will benefit The Rory Foundation.
CLOCKWISE TOP LEFT: Round One: Designed by Sara Lockhart. “I read online that Rory really likes different shades of green so I combined that with some of my favorite colors,” said Lockhart, 12, whose mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Rory’s verdict: “I like the message she’s put on the tongue. She wrote ‘good luck’ on them.”
Round Two: Designed by Ryan Keenan. “I chose the colors because it is for the Irish Open and they are colors associated with Ireland,” said Keenan, 16, whose mom was diagnosed with cancer. Rory’s verdict: “He’s put a little message on the tongue saying, ‘Go Rory,’ so they’re pretty cool for Friday.”
Round Three: Designed by Chloe Hyndman. “I picked black and white to make them look professional, but then added a print to keep them fun and recent,” said Hyndman, 15, whose mom was diagnosed with cancer. Rory’s verdict: “I think these are pretty self-explanatory. You’ve got the little pebble/grain design, which is pretty cool, and purple with a little bit of blue in the laces.”
Round Four: Designed by Alex Kernaghan. “It says ‘Be You’ on my Nike shoes because that’s all you ever should be — yourself,” said Kernaghan, 13, whose father recently passed away from cancer. “I also added in a bit of blue as it’s my dad’s favorite color and yellow to represent the charity.” Rory’s verdict: “Alex has designed these shoes which have basically every color in the rainbow… These are a pretty funky pair of shoes and I’m excited to wear them.”
Scan the room at most popular boutique fitness and yoga studios like Soul Cycle, Barry’s Bootcamp, and Pure Yoga; online fitness shops like Carbon 38, Bandier, and Net-A-Sporter; and the fitness departments at stores like Nordstroms and Saks Fith Avenue, and you’ll see a vast assortment of crazy prints, bold colors and graphic patterns. The biggest trend in fitness apparel now is printed leggings, and a handful of specialty fitness brands have established themselves as the trendy favorites: Prismsport, Onzie, Olympia, and one of the most popular, Zara Terez.
Zara Terez is the woman behind this burgeoning brand and she is 29 years old. Her wild and whimsical prints like Candy Crush, Mix Tape, Some Kale, Peacock, Pineapple and Emoji cannot be missed. Terez was raised in the fashion business. Her father, who she describes as a “garmento” owned Budget Dress, and was a manufacturer and wholesaler of women’s dresses. Her mother was the owner of All My Favorite Things, a manufacturer of jewelry and accessories in New York. Both are now retired.
Terez originally launched her brand as a leather handbag company, and almost by accident. Stumbling upon a custom leather shop in lower Manhattan in 2008, she asked if they could make a hundred bags of her design. When they said yes, she asked about a thousand. She saw there was a market for cool but affordable handbags. Terez told Style of Sport, “Everything was either high-end designer or mass market, but there was nothing in that $300-400 range. There was also not enough stuff out there that allowed for freedom of expression.” She was determined to make them here as well. “I was going to rebuild the garment district,” she commented with youthful determination, having watched so much of the fashion manufacturing business leave NYC as she was growing up.

We love to see collaborations among sport brands, and the new Almond x Woolrich launch of the “Wax and Wool” collection brings together two of our favorites. Comprised of custom handmade surfboards, and made in USA apparel, it could be called “Woods and Water,” as the collection unites the heritage of Woolrich, the Original Outdoor Company, and the coastal lifestyle of California’s Almond Surfboards.
The clothing, which includes both men’s and women’s pieces, was designed for a perfect day at the beach. The “Wax and Wool” collection includes graphic tees, blankets, a tote bag, henleys, sweatshirts and corduroy walk shorts. Also included in the collaboration are custom Woolrich inspired surfboards. Custom built and hand shaped by Almond, the boards feature prints inspired by the iconic Woolrich buffalo check.

Now available at Nike.com, NikeLab stores and select specialty boutiques like Dover Street Market, is the eye-popping NikeLab x sacai capsule collection. NikeLab is the most fashion forward division of Nike, recreating its iconic sport pieces as streetwear. Fashion label, sacai, has been referencing and reinterpreting traditional sportswear the last few seasons with its own unique approach. The two were brought together by a shared passion for innovation and a bold expression of style resulting in a new women’s collection that transforms classic performance icons into fashionable sport hybrids.
Nike’s design ethos celebrates the body in motion, which was very much in sync with sacai’s vision for the line. Sacai Founder, Chitose Abe, began her design journey by mining the Nike archives and pulling references from running, tennis and American football, reinterpreting Nike’s heritage sportswear silhouettes. Through Abe’s language of surprise and juxtaposition, the classic Nike Windrunner becomes a skirt featuring plissé-style pleating. A hooded sweatshirt is trimmed with a peplum detail. Panels combine with strategically placed openings and underlays to create fluidity when the garments are still or in motion, playful as the wearer turns from front to back.
The shared appreciation for innovative materials and technology was paramount to the Nike/sacai design process. The partners explored different ways to utilize the materials at hand and also establish exciting new fabrications. A special mesh lace hem was specifically developed by Nike and Abe to adorn the trim of graphic Nike T-shirts. Read More

TEAM SPIRIT AT PHILIPP PLEIN ~ VERSACE ~ TOMMY HILFIGER ~ MOSCHINO
It’s been 25 years since Reebok first released “The Pump”, considered an icon in the annals of sneaker history. Originally a basketball shoe, it contained an inflatable chamber that could be pumped with air via a mini ball valve on the tongue.
Reebok has resurrected this 80’s classic with updated technology in the recently released ZPump Fusion, its new running and training shoe. Made to adapt to the contours of the foot, a lightweight inflatable chamber surrounds the foot. The pump actuator has been moved to the ankle. When pushed it channels air into the chamber, which expands and molds around the foot for a locked-in fit. The shoe features a sock-like construction with a seamless 360-degree stretch compression sleeve and boasts high-speed, underfoot performance and control with its grooved outsole. The ZPump Fusion is also customizable and can be designed with colors and graphics of your choosing as shown above.
It may still be snowing, but warmer temperatures are on the way, and our feet can’t wait to slip into these sporty spring slides. Taking their inspiration from pool and soccer sandals, and outdoorsy Birkenstocks too, these slides from designers like Mark Jacobs, Band Of Outsiders, and Vince have classic sport styling with some extra sparkle and flair.

ADIDAS BY STELLA MCCARTNEY STORE, AVENTURA MALL, MIAMI
Just opened in Miami’s Aventura Mall is the new Adidas by Stella McCartney store, their second stand alone store in the US. It features the new Spring/Summer 2015 capsule collection which marks the ten-year anniversary of the collaboration between Stella McCartney and Adidas. The brand has become synonymous with the “Ath-Leisure” category of the fashion market, and the booming 35.1 billion activewear industry that now represents 17% of all apparel sales.
From Run to Yoga to Swim, Stella McCartney calls the new line “a combination of strong design aesthetic with true performance technologies”. It utilizes Adidas’s trademark fabrics like Techfit (bands which offer compression and stability,) Climachill and Climacool (temperature control to ensure maximum performance) and BOOST footwear (an innovative foam storing thousands of energy capsules for reactive cushioning.)
Along with the endurance and performance technology, the Spring/Summer 2015 collection is filled with vibrant colors, graphic prints and sleek lines, designed to compliment the female physique with a combination of compression fit, flattering cuts, and high fashion styling. In the crowded space that has become fashion athletic wear, this collaboration continues to push the boundaries of that intersection of sport and style for which it has become recognized, and to define all day workout chic.
Last week we were in Vail/Beaver Creek, Colorado for the World Ski Championships. This week we are back in our home turf of NYC for New York Fashion Week. A video popped into our email feed from Vogue this morning, filmed with a GoPro, and capturing an action packed day in the life of supermodel Karlie Kloss. It shows this gorgeous model, at the top of her game, from dawn til dusk, on a typical NY Fashion Week day.
GoPro cameras are noted as hi-def action cams, usually employed by adrenaline junkies, looking to immortalize their extreme pursuits. We thought we’d share a more typical Go Pro video we saw last week of skier Julie Mancuso, a supermodel in her own right, on her typical day, capturing a different kind of action. Julie was at Vail at the World Championships competing in both the speed and slalom events, and “modeling” her new signature line of POC goggles, sunglasses and helmet in competition. A decorated Olympian, she has won the most medals of any female alpine skier, with a gold in the giant slalom at the 2006 Winter Olympics, a silver in both downhill and combined (downhill & slalom) in 2010, and a bronze in the combined in 2014. When she’s not on the slopes, Julie is on the waves paddling and surfing, splitting her time between Squaw valley and Hawaii. Check out this “Wonder Woman” in action.

The “models”, clearly athletes and dancers, displayed impressive athleticism, coordination and power while showing pieces from the upcoming Winter and Spring collections in action. Gone were the earth toned, teal and rose palette one might associate with Athleta, replaced by pumped-up colors, shiny silvers, bold graphics, and contrasting stripes, but also chic creams, grays and cashmeres.
Storming though the door that Lululemon opened and capitalizing on the phenomenal growth in the athletic apparel market, brands like Athleta, Under Armour and Nike are seizing the opportunity to capture their share of the women’s market. Fitness apparel has become the new “sportswear”, now even outselling jeans. Says Nancy Green, President of Athleta at Gap, Inc, “We’re at a time where there is a major trend happening and fitness is having a huge influence on women’s fashion. Women are wearing performance pieces in their everyday outfitting. We see this as a huge opportunity for Athleta, and are excited to showcase the incredible versatility of Athleta’s performance and lifestyle products during our fashion week event.”
We are excited as well to work some of these pieces into fitness rotation both in and out of the gym, and look forward to seeing what other sporty looks come down the runway this week!
Young collegians are heading back to campus and for us graduates the look for fall feels very reminiscent of school days. It’s game time, and fashion brands like Moschino, DKNY, and Band of Outsiders have taken their inspiration from the football stadiums and playing fields with chic and sporty varsity jackets, letterman sweaters, duffle coats, striped team scarves and gloves to keep you warmed up and filled with good cheer on those crisp fall days ahead.
Half dozen of another. No matter how you count it, the innovative Bliz Tracker sunglasses can be converted from sunglass to a shield, come with two sets of lenses and an extra jawbone or lower frame, for six different style and functionality options.
We first spotted Bliz eyewear in the Winter Olympics on many of the cross country skiers. A Swedish brand, Bliz developed a large following in Scandinavia for their performance sunglasses and goggles specifically designed for Nordic skiing competition. The lenses are made from unbreakable polycarbonate and feature 100% UV protection. Both the nosepiece and temples are rubber and fully adjustable for a great fit and comfort.
Whether running or cycling, wearing a helmet or visor, we love these sunglasses for their flexibility, performance and style. In addition, the glasses come with an optional strap which can be used for extra security to hold glasses in place under more strenuous activity. The Bliz Tracker retails for $119.

Located on the corner of Mercer & Grand in Manhattan’s Soho, is VFiles, a curated shop, cyber fashion community and new trend-setting mecca for the coolest of the cool. Similar to Supreme on Lafayette and Opening Ceremony around the corner, VFiles has a unique point of view reflected in every item sold in the store, which ranges from high end fashion to technical sport pieces. I was particularly impressed to see a selection of Salomon trail running shoes there, one of the most advanced on the market, chosen for their striking design. I asked friend and founder, Julie Anne Quay about the mix.
“There are three global languages, fashion, sport and music. We try to speak to those audiences. So you have fashion, which is Moschino. You have sport, which is Salomon. You have music which is represented by a lot of young designers that are also hip hop artists and DJs. Ashish is a brand heavily worn by Katy Perry. Rihanna wears a ton of VFiles Sport Plus and Melitta Baumeister.”
VFiles has its own sport line VFiles Sport Plus, but like the Salomon shoe, this customer is wearing these pieces not for performance but for style. Says Julie Anne, “The Salomon shoe looks amazing, but it also does what it’s supposed to do. That is what makes it a great piece of merchandise. The influencers, that top 1% who are setting trends, are looking for form, function AND design.”
Julie Anne is an athlete herself and SoulCycle instructor as well, but has made her career in the upper echelons of the fashion industry and appreciates the style of both. “Clothes speak to you. Like right now I don’t know why, but I really want that Moschino Sponge Bob Coat.” I hear what she’s saying because I really want that Assk Real Tree Long Bomber shown above. It’s all in the mix of sport and style.
VFiles is located at 12 Mercer street and online at VFiles.com
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Adidas has just released the Micropacer OG, once the most technologically advanced sneaker on the market. Originally introduced in 1984 to coincide with the Los Angeles Olympics, the Adidas Originals Micropacer was the first shoe to feature a built in pedometer that showed steps and distance, paired with an LCD screen integrated onto its exposed tongue. The Adidas Originals Micropacer quickly became an icon thanks to its unique combination streamlined design and technical gadgetry.
This new re-issue of the once futuristic shoe has been produced in its original silver color way accented with blue stripes and red detailing on the sole. Long before the advent of the fitness tracker, the Adidas Originals Micropacer was the only way to monitor your every move and continues to do it with style.

Sawako Furuno designs bicycle helmets as chic and sophisticated as any hatmaker would create. Born in Japan, she studied as an architect, and later received her masters at Oxford. Oxford is cycling city. As a student, Sawako was a lodger at the home of an elegant 80 year old woman, who happened to own the most beautiful bicycle Sawako would use to travel around town. It was there that her appreciation for cycling and its culture began.
Sawako moved to London to pursue a career in architecture and continued cycling as her mode of transportation. After a couple of close calls, she realized it was time to start wearing a helmet. Finding only road biking and racing styles available — the right idea but the wrong look — she decided to make her own. Producing 150 to start, she was soon spotted by Daily Candy in London and orders began pouring in. While she enjoyed architecture, she was passionate about these helmets and a side project would soon become her career. Furuno eventually gave up architecture to focus her creative energy full time on producing a line of posh helmets for the urban cyclist.
SAWAKO FURUNO BICYCLE HELMETS
Sawako recently moved to New York where I had the opportunity to meet her last week for a coffee at one of our favorite cafes, Smile, in the Shinola store in Tribeca. She rode to our rendezvous on a beautiful purple Bobbin Bicycle, perfectly put together in the outfit above, and of course topped with her own Leopard Leatherette helmet. A few of her other designs are above. From tartans to animal prints to florals, these helmets have such flair, you might choose to wear them whether cycling or not.

One of the coolest parts of watching the Olympics is seeing all the sport specific style, gear and accessories one is only exposed to every four years. The nordic skiing competition has been in full swing, and we took notice of the eyewear the athletes have been wearing in the cross country events like the biathlon and skiathlon.

They are secured in place by an adjustable strap that can also be traded for traditional temples, and the lenses flip up into a visor with a push of the finger.

GWEN STEFANI & PHARELL WILLIAMS MIX IT UP WITH BURTON SNOWBOARDS
LEFT: BURTON x L.A.M.B. BOMBER JACKET WITH TUX SNOWBOARD PANTS; RIGHT BURTON x BIONIC BOMBER DOWN SNOWBOARD JACKET WITH 3L SNOWBOARD PANT
A few weeks ago we reported on Burton Snowboard’s collaboration and capsule collection with Filson, BURTON x FILSON, but the mash-ups have not stopped there. Now available online and in stores are two more collaborative collections from Burton, that bring the influence of two of the music industry’s biggest stars to snowboard style… one with Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. and the other with Pharrell’s BIONIC.
The highly-anticipated women’s outerwear collection created with Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. label is finally available in select stores and online, and mixes Gwen’s bold street style with Burton’s tech-savvy functionality. The L.A.M.B. for Burton collection features ten pieces that include down jackets, anoraks, parkas and pants that can’t be missed, each with different prints from large dalmatian dots to an oversized houndstooth.
The goal was to have some fun and try something a little different,” said Gwen Stefani. “The clothing itself is really technical and performance-oriented so it was a new challenge. We worked really hard on the pants – I wanted to design a pair that had a really great fit and is super flattering but also cool with an edge.” Her favorite pieces from the collection, she says, are the Parka Jacket and Tux Pant.
Also just in time for the holidays, is Burton’s capsule collection of eco-conscious winter outerwear and accessories created with music and style icon Pharrell Williams, brand ambassador for BIONIC Yarn. BIONIC is an eco-textile brand that makes luxe high-performance fabrics from recycled plastic bottles. BIONIC Yarn incorporates 40-45% recycled content which actually makes it up to 400% stronger than traditional thread and a very durable fabric for snowboard outerwear.
Pharell took his inspiration for this collection from South American textiles, and traditional Peruvian prints are the foundation of the line. With a look that feels both modern and vintage, the Burton x BIONIC line is made up of 7 pieces that include jackets, pants, and accessories designed to transition from wintery weekend pursuits to the daily grind. The brightly striped Bomber Down Jacket features a distinctive silhouette inspired by 1970’s ski jackets, reflecting yet another mash-up of ski and snowboard style!
Both the L.A.M.B collection for women and BIONIC collection for men are available in super limited supply. Grab these pieces while they last at select snowboard shops, Burton flagship stores and on Burton.com.

Merino wool is fast becoming the performance fabric of choice for many athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. It is a uniquely versatile fabric that keeps the athlete warm when its cold and cool when it’s hot — ideal for running, hiking, skiing, cycling, and any other outdoor sport.
Merino is regarded as being one of the finest and softest wools, consisting of a higher number of thread fibers than others. These fibers trap tiny pockets of air which act to insulate in cold weather, and at the same time wick moisture away to the surface, keeping the body cool when it’s heating up. Because the individual fibers stay dry this keeps the fabric odor-free, aided by the anti-bacterial lanolin naturally occurring in the wool. Few other single fabrics work so well in such a broad range of temperatures.
Whereas synthetic fabrics, essentially a blend of polyester and nylon, have been the popular choice for activewear in recent years, brands like Smartwool and Icebreaker have been toting the advantages of Merino wool for a while now, and using it exclusively in their sport apparel. Other major sport brands like Nike, Patagonia, Arc’Teryx and Lululemon, seeing the benefits, have recently added Merino based apparel to their product line. As a result, stylish Merino baselayers, performance tops and bottoms, hats, gloves and other accessories are now available in a wide variety styles and colors, designed to appeal to all kinds of athletes and sports enthusiasts.
Two of our favorite and most prominent outdoor brands, Burton and Filson, have just launched a small Burton x Filson capsule collection that brings their two worlds, and seemingly opposite ends of the outdoor spectrum, together. Filson, founded in 1897, is a company rich in tradition, with a long history as manufacturers of quality upscale hunting and fishing apparel. Associated with an older and more staid customer, Filson is not the first company that would come to mind to collaborate with Burton Snowboards and those crazy snowboard shreddin’ kids. Burton Snowboards has grown up, however, and its riders matured. With the company’s 40th birthday not too far off, the respect for its elders is apparent in this and other recent collaborations with long established heritage brands, such as Redwing Shoes and Manitobah Mukluks. In turn, these heritage brands understand the tradition of high quality functional sportswear Burton has been creating since 1977, and the value of partnering with a brand that has such extreme customer loyalty.
The collection features 4 pieces — 3 jackets and 1 pair of pants — for men only (sorry ladies!) and marries the signature fabrics for which Filson is famous with Burton’s experience in creating highly functional snowboard outerwear. The Sentry Jacket, shown above, uses Filson’s Tin Cloth, a weather repellent oilcloth originally created in the early 1900’s and designed for the Pacific Northwest’s exploding timber industry. The Squire Jacket utilizes a combo of Filson’s rugged Mackinaw Wool and durable wax-soaked cotton Shelter Cloth. With these fabrics, Burton has added its own signature detailing designed for the snowboarder, such as drop-tail styling, vents and powder skirts, and hidden sound and goggle pockets… marrying tech with timeless style.
While at first it seems that Burton and Filson couldn’t be more different, this collaboration actually shows how similar these two companies really are, both as sportswear and as lifestyle brands. Both have a reputation for creating sport apparel that works, designed with the kind of style that is wearable anyplace and anytime, and appeals to all sorts of customers, whether they participate in the sport for which they were designed or not.
With Halloween here, and the NYC Marathon being run this Sunday, we wanted to celebrate these events by featuring the coolest sporty goods drenched in their shared signature color. It’s bright, it’s cheerful, it’s fun… it’sORANGE!

The toggle or duffle coat is a sporty classic for both men and women. It is a perennial favorite of fashion houses and outdoor brands alike, and owes its popularity to the British Royal Navy who made the coat standard issue during World War I. The distinguishing features of the duffle coat were designed for functionality. The wooden toggles could be easily fastened and unfastened while wearing gloves in cold weather at sea and the oversized hood offered enough room to wear over a Naval cap.
The same design prevails today and this fall season, brands from Saint Laurent and Burberry to Woolrich and Merrell have brought us their interpretations of this timeless classic. Here are our six picks for the season’s best toggle coats.

Fall is the season when chic country style takes over the city streets. As the weather gets chilly, layering is the way to adjust to changing temperatures, and there a number of basic pieces essential to staying warm with style. The barn and hacking jacket, chukka and desert boots, chunky sweaters, scarves and more… many of our favorites come from outdoor brands like Barbour, Filson and Patagonia, rich in sporting tradition and recognized for their timeless style. Others are from designers like Jil Sander, Proenza Schouler and The Row, inspired by those classics. Check out our picks for the must haves of the season, the nine perfect pieces for fall 2013.
THE BARN JACKET
BARBOUR FERNDOWN JACKET. Barbour’s classic wax jackets, made by hand since 1894, set the standard for both quality and style. The equestrian-inspired Ferndown jacket is water and wind repellent to keep you warm and dry in intemperate conditions. It features a two-way front zip with snap-closure storm flap, stand-up collar, roomy front pockets with snap-close flaps, and signature Barbour tartan lining. More great barn jackets are available at L.L.BEAN, FILSON, and J.CREW.
THE BACKPACK
FILSON TWILL BACKPACK. A rugged but stylish backpack is the perfect bag to tote the day’s essentials and store those extra layers. Filson is another reputed outdoor brand with a long tradition of quality and craftsmanship.

Football season is upon us. NFL apparel and its oversized team jerseys are not something that usually earn style points, but all over the September issues are chic ads featuring models such as Karolina Kurkova and Hilary Rhoda supporting their favorite teams. In an effort to appeal more to its style conscious female fan base, the NFL hired famed fashion lensman Patrick Demarchelier to shoot this campaign promoting the NFL Shop and line of women’s apparel available at Target as well.
So for all you football fans out there rooting for the home team, now you can do it with some style. V-necks, burnouts, sparkles, hoodies and more, matched with the right accessories, this sporty look need not be reserved for game day only.
Earlier this year, Adidas launched the Energy Boost, a lightweight running shoe with a sole constructed of tiny microcapsules fused together to provide great cushioning and responsiveness. The Boost foam is temperature-resistant, keeping the spring in your step regardless of weather conditions. I’ve been running in them all summer and loving them. Thus, I was intrigued to check out Adidas’s newest running shoe, the Springblade.
Upon first glance, there is no doubt the Adidas Springblade is a revolutionary design. Instead of a traditional midsole, the sole features 16 forward-angled blades positioned to propel the runner forward. Looking very much like miniature versions of those high-tech carbon fiber running prosthetics, each blade is individually tuned in geometry and position to accommodate the entire phase of the running stride. One’s discerning nature might question whether this is a bit of a gimmick, but after taking them for a spin, I have to say the shoes provided a cushioned and responsive ride, delivering on their promise of maximum spring and energy return.
The shoe is optimally suited for more of a heel striker than a forefoot runner, making them a nice choice for the recreational runner whose gait tends to be more the former and those looking for a more cushioned ride.
I am more of a purist, personally preferring a more traditional looking shoe for running and will be sticking with my Boosts for now. For those looking to make more of a fashion statement on the road however, the Springblade offers excellent performance along with its attention grabbing high-tech design.
It looks like we have all made the varsity squad this season, as wide range of designers and brands from Saint Laurent to J.Crew and Isabel Marant to A.P.C, have brought back the classic letterman jacket and reinterpreted it with their own unique style. Some may call them bomber jackets, but the distinctive snap front, leather sleeves, contrast wool torso, ribbed neck and cuffs, give them that classic varsity style. Check out a few of our favorites, a fun and playful look for fall!
Warm up those chilly summer nights and autumn days with these worn-in vintage inspired sweats. Whether hanging at the beach, going to the gym, or relaxing at home, this is as cozy as it gets. For both men and women, old school style sweatshirts and sweatpants, in soft fleece and cottons, relaxed and slim fit, sherpa-lined and lightweight blends, will keep you feeling toasty for whatever activity you may be enjoying.
Plaid is a perennial favorite in both sport and fashion. Timeless sport brands like L.L.Bean, Woolrich and Filson have made those black, red and white checks the signature of their collections for years and this season fashion designers have taken their inspiration from the woods and campgrounds as well.
Plaid is one of the big trends for fall 2013 with designers like Phoebe Philo for Celine, Micheal Kors, Stella McCartney, Lanvin and Moschino all creating chic sporty pieces for their collections. So be it city or country, at work or at play, cozy fall plaids are as stylish as ever.

Around this time of year, as kids are getting out of school and gearing up for their summer vacations, I grow nostalgic for camp. My sister and I went to Camp Se-Sa-Ma-Ca in Raymond, NH, near to Lake Winnipesauwkee, where we bunked in cabins in the woods, the ceilings of which were carved with the name and year of every camper who had ever stayed there before us. We filled our camp trunks from a checklist of “What-to-Bring”, each item seemingly with the word “warm” or “sturdy” in front, ready for any outdoor adventure the summer would bring.
While all the modern hi-tech gear might be more functional, you can’t beat the old school camper style. It warms the heart to see it’s all still around, from the original brands and new ones too. Some things never go out of style. Although we can’t spend our summers at camp anymore, we can still have all the gear and cozy classics that remind us of all the fun we had.

In this crazy hi-tech world in which we live, looks like we’ve gone back a bit in time with the appearance of wood as the material of choice for surfboards, ski helmets, watches, bikes, iPhone cases, and more sport and lifestyle accessories. Be it nostalgia for the products of our youth, or new products designed with that hip retro style, wood clearly has a timeless appeal that never goes out of style. Everything that’s old is new again.
The iPhone is one of the most beautifully designed pieces of gear in the history of electronics and I find it a shame that in order to protect this precious item, one is often forced to cover it with a case so far below its aesthetic level. Thus I went on a quest to find the most beautiful and protective iPhone cases available, with that chic and sporty style, and above is what I found. Most are iPhone 4,4s and 5 compatible.

FEB.28: RAY-BAN WAYFARER.Here we are at the last day of February’s 28 Days Of Sunglasses. There are still so many more shades to feature, but it seemed right to give this final selection to another iconic Ray-Ban style, the only brand to get two days this month. The Wayfarer was first introduced in 1956 and is credited with being the best selling sunglass of all time. Originally a black frame with gray lenses, there are now hundreds of styles and colors available.
FEB.27: OLIVER PEOPLES.Since their first retail store opened in 1986 on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, Oliver Peoples has been the “it” eyewear brand.

Aviators, horn-rimmed, clip-ons are just a few of the iconic styles that have been evergreens in their collection, and I myself have been a loyal customer since the early 90’s!
FEB.26: WARBY PARKER. Warby Parker has recently been in the news for having been retained by Google to design the look of their new internet glasses, and also for a recent investment by J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler in the company.

A week ago I posted about the pleasures of Winter Running and featured some of my favorite layering pieces. Gloves are critical part of the equation as well. Once you start moving, hands warm up pretty quick, so you want gloves that are flexible, moisture-wicking and breathable. Here are a few I really like (and you don’t have to wear them for running only). Pearl Izumi, Mountain Hardware and The Northface come in men’s sizes too.
In the spirit of the holidays, I am celebrating this December with 31 days of sneakers. Each day this month will feature a new sneaker selected not just by me, but some of my most sporty and fashionable friends. So to all my sneakerheads out there, I’d love to hear some of your picks too.

DEC.31: Well it’s the last day of December, the last day of my 31 days of sneakers and the last day of the year! Very hard to pick the final sneaker, especially while there are still so many more to choose. I am giving today to the ADIDAS SPEZIAL, because I love this orange and yellow combo, and because I couldn’t decide between the ADIDAS GAZELLE, CAMPUS or SAMBA… all timeless Adidas classics!

DEC.24: Today’s pick comes my old friend Adam Glassman, Creative Director of O, The Oprah Magazine. Like me, he is obsessed with the Nike Flyknit Trainer, which happened to be my Dec.1 Sneaker of the Day. Adam has a sneaker feature as well in the January issue of O, and I am going with one his choices from the magazine, the ASICS GEL-LYTE33, as today’s sneaker of the day. This lightweight, super-flexible running shoe delivers a cushioned ride and promotes a mid-foot to forefoot strike. Plus the neon yellow and pink will definitely add an extra burst of speed to your runs! Read More

If we did not love Celine enough already, now Phoebe Philo has really gone and done it showing these fuzzy slides and pumps for spring 2013. Can’t you just feel the cozy softness now? If only those pumps were available for those cold NYC nights to come. Our feet would be so happy!
But we have a whole winter to get through first and luckily have been given license to wear fuzzy slippers for the next few months in preparation for these spring shoes. So if slippers are the new “it” shoe, here are nine I think make the the fashion statement that its all about comfort now.
Whether you are training for a marathon, checking for surf, scubadiving or just looking for a sporty timepiece to stay on time, there are so many cool watches to choose from. I’m loving these in white and silver, so super chic
there is no need to change watches when the workout is done.
Equipped with GPS technology, this beautiful limited edition tracks your location, pace, time and distance. USB contacts are built into the watch strap and plugs in to your computer to upload data and keep track of all your runs. This edition was created for the US Olympic Team athletes, but theirs came with real gold on the trim.
This watch is a major fashion statement, but if you plan on wearing it for its functional capabilities it does feature self-winding mechanical chronograph movement, 42-hour power reserve, date and chronograph (12-hour, 30-minute, 60-seconds counters), unidirectional rotating bezel and is water-resistant up to 200 meters.
The Hammerhead LDS gives a little fashion edge to the classic dive style and the result is a sporty timepiece that looks great surfing or just hanging on the beach.
What can I say about this iconic timepiece? Its a Rolex, a timeless classic, the ultimate diving watch designed for extreme underwater exploration and able to withstand depths of up to 3900 meters.
While one of the top action sports brands, Nixon watches are recognized for their cutting edge style and hip design by the fashion world as well. Nixon watches are sold in both the coolest surf shops and chicest boutiques in the world, including Colette in Paris.
A throwback to the original 1986 Timex Ironman watch with improved functionality and shock-resistant durability, this watch has style that can withstand time, and construction that can withstand anything else.
Starting this month, I will be featuring a new color every month. Orange is the color for September as fall begins, bringing the change of seasons, and transforming the hues of nature into vibrant bursts of warmth. Above are some of my favorite orange things for the season. Whether in the country or city, on a guy or girl, a little dab or full splash, orange is fun color that makes everything sporty!
As we get closer to September, I’m thinking about a new fall bag. The back to school promotions are everywhere and a backpack is a classic. Whether toting gym clothes, a laptop, magazines, or an extra layer should the temperature shift, backpacks need not be for school kids only. Above are my 8 grown-up picks for fall in sophisticated autumnal colors, high to low, all sporty, all chic!
This fall 2012 architectural shoe of wonder by Alexander McQueen defies the laws of fashion and gravity. Only the most experienced fashionistas should dare to wear… trained professionals like Lady Gaga and Daphne Guiness or perhaps a prima ballerina. Despite the claim of stability due to the elongated base, the rest of us better hit the gym fast because I’m guessing 1 minute in these shoes equals about 60 calf raises. I wouldn’t worry too much though. With a price tag of $6395, I dont think too many of us will have to start training.
