G.O.T. Adidas?

 

 

Game of Thrones and sneaker fans rejoice! Ahead of the eighth and final season of the popular HBO series, adidas Running announced the launch of a collection of limited-edition Ultraboost running shoes, each inspired by the noble families and warring factions of the Seven Kingdoms and beyond The Wall.

Six styles in all, adidas has reimagined the iconic houses and characters of Westeros in sneaker form. Each features a unique design and color palette created to represent the characteristics, colors, and details of the heroes and villains to which they refer. Details include their faction’s sigil on the tongue and motto on the heel tag.

Each shoe in the collection features signature BOOST midsole technology for unlimited energy return, a Primeknit upper for lightweight performance, and the iconic heel counter for adaptability and support. The adidas x Game of Thrones Ultraboost silhouettes fuse performance-oriented footwear technology with a visual aesthetic that celebrates the pop cultural phenomenon the show has become.

The limited-edition adidas x Game of Thrones Ultraboost will be available March 22nd for $180 at adidas.com.

Magnum X Vuarnet

 

 
He’s baaack… Magnum, P.I. that is, but not Tom Selleck. Magnum, P.I. premieres this Monday, Sept. 24 at 9pm on CBS with a new cast in a remake of the popular 80’s TV series that brought Tom Selleck and his macho mustache into our homes every week. Also back are his sunglasses. Vuarnet has relaunched the TOM, the aviator style sunglasses Tom Selleck made famous as Thomas Magnum.

Available in 6 different colors, these mens’s sunglasses feature Vuarnet’s exclusive 100% mineral glass lenses. With lateral reinforcement cut into the front of the frame and their detachable cord, the TOM integrates the performance attributes of Vuarnet’s sport heritage into a stylish frame that’s tough enough for any Navy Seal turned private investigator like Magnum P.I.

The TOM is priced at $330 and is available online at Vuarnet.com

A Simpler Time

CLICK WATCHES ABOVE FOR SHOPPING INFO! 

While smart watches may be loaded with endless functions, the design and simplicity of a classic analog watch can’t be beat. These six field and military inspired timepieces won’t answer the phone, but they harken back to a day when all we needed to watch to do was to tell time us the time… and do it beautifully.

These six won’t break the bank either.

 

CLOCKWISE TOP LEFT: TECHNE MERLIN 296 STAINLESS STEEL AND WEBBING WATCH $235. The Merlin 296 was inspired by military timepieces from World War II and based on a British Ministry of Defence design. Engineered with precise Japanese quartz movement and encased in stainless steel, it has luminous markers and oversized Arabic numerals for legibility. 

WERENBACH MODELL 5 $1500. Every Werenbach is made from real space-traveled rocket material. This dial was cut from the exterior cladding of the rocket engine, and in its original condition, so no two watches are the same. The Launch Sequencer scale shows the three stages en route to orbit, with time, altitude and rocket stages I, II and III displayed on the watch.

TIMEX + TODD SNYDER MILITARY WATCH $138. From the Timex collection by designer Todd Snyder, this classic time piece has been reinterpreted with a modern sophistication. Inspired by 1970s military watches, this fresh style features vintage dial artwork based on rare pieces from the Timex archive, updated with a contemporary case and strap detailing for a stylish look.

Ten Icons Reconstructed

 

NIKE BLAZER BY VIRGIL ABLOH

Seems like every fashion and style journal you read there is Virgil Abloh, the man behind hot fashion label, Off-White. Last month saw the limited release of his collection with Nike, “Ten Icons Reconstructed”, one of the most buzzed about sneaker collaborations to date. Originally only five styles were available to a lucky few Nike raffle winners, but a wide release date of all ten has now been set for November 9th at select stockists.

The collection is a reinterpretation of ten iconic Nike styles, both classic and newer silhouettes, divided into two themes. “REVEALING” includes the Air Jordan 1, Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Presto, Nike Air VaporMax, and Nike Blazer Mid; and “GHOSTING” includes Converse Chuck Taylor, Nike Zoom Fly SP, Nike Air Force 1 Low, Nike React Hyperdunk 2017, and Nike Air Max 97.  The editors at Hypebeast, the definitive chronicler of sneaker drops and all things cool, created this sliding demo of the original vs. the new designs, which you can click to view HERE.

So be sure to mark your calendars, and check out this list today of where you can grab a pair of these much hyped about sneakers: The 10 Global Stockists. The competition will be fierce and you don’t want to miss the chance to own one of the ten.

Two For One

 

 

Twin sisters, Cristen Barker and Kimmy Hise, are better known as the ChinTwins. Former fashion models, this gorgeous yogi duo has an Instagram following that has swelled to over 70,000 since we last featured them in Twin Poses. Using their powerful platform as social media influencers, the sisters have paired with Senhoa on the Clarity Collection, a jewelry line created to provide safe employment to survivors of human trafficking in Cambodia.
 
Senhoa is a non-profit organization that provides assistance, education, training and opportunities to women and girls who are at risk or have survived human trafficking and sexual exploitation in Cambodia. Each artisan individually handcrafts every piece of jewelry and 100 percent of the sales goes towards funding early intervention initiatives. Senhoa’s mission is to combat human trafficking and sexual exploitation through empowerment, advocacy, and prevention programs.
