Blends Herringbone Coaches Jacket – Blends is unusually quiet when compared to other sneaker boutiques like Undefeated, but that doesn’t mean they don’t come correct. For winter, the SoCal-based shop takes the popular Coach’s jacket and gives it a sophisticated twist. Instead of taffeta or nylon, this athletic jacket arrives with a thick and unique Herringbone design. The mid-weight cotton shell is often used on vintage military pieces, and is paired here with a soft satin polyester interior. The jacket also comes with heavy-duty military-grade fasteners and is entirely made in the United States.

Undefeated x Nike – The iconic Nike Dunk High turns 30 this year and has elected Undefeated to help with the celebration. The new LUX Model arrives in a simple and muted white, grey, and black, and features additional print detailing across the quarter panel. The familiar “Just Do It” mantra is printed on a patch that is embroidered across the tongue, and the soft-spoken look is accented with a bright burnt orange Nike swoosh. The sneaker is surprisingly simple, and while many will argue that it needs “more,” I think it’s just enough.
