With a few more details kept under the wraps, all I know is this collaborated watch from Berlin sneaker boutique Solebox and German watchmaker Sinn U2 is a good one. The watch comes with a black case and is featured in a black rubber bracelet and black dial. And with the Solebox and Sinn logo placed in the middle, the orange accents on the dial and the bezel tops everything off nicely. Release date? I wish I knew…

No, those aren’t actual chains wrapped around this uniform experiment bag, but it sure does look like it. Well, kinda. You probably always hear about me rave about tote bags, but for good reason. They’re functional for anything you might want to carry around with you. And if you think they are only for women, your loss. Ha! The bag is made of PVC coated cotton canvas and comes in 2 clean colorways of black or white.

These look like I’ll be walking on the clouds with the release of the Surface 2 Air moccasin tassle loafers. Made from soft, premium suede with a flexible, lightweight sole, choose from a navy blue or beige colorway (or just grab both). With the great detailing of the white stitching, the tassles and the flexible PU sole unit makes these a sure banger.

They say things get better with time, right? Well, these Shoto plain toe bluchers sure do. Handmade specially in Italy, these start weathering after some wear and tear, and they look sweet as you continue. Avaiable in only a brown colorway, it’s made carefully with washed leather that feature a five-eye blucher on a leather sole. This is where the “old” and the “used” works well, don’t you agree?

Who here has square ears? Oh, I guess I’m the only one… Moooooooving on… Japan’s Zumreed Dreams constructs these square headphones for the experimental group out there. They feature a leatherband and boxy earpads with six different colorways (black, white, red, blue, pink, and green) for that old-school funky aesthetic. The sound quality is of course the highlight. Why not look cool and feel good listening to your jams at the same time? Works out pretty good.

Who writes in diaries anymore? I’m not talking digitally over on the internet, but on paper instead. I thought so. Billykirk helps out with the whole dilemma with two colorways of some nice leather journal covers that’ll get you started on your long road back to the basics. From a light brown to a simple black, it’s time to start taking notes. Handmade in the glorious U.S.A.

While XLarge is no stranger to working with Lowe Alpine their collaborative work often fall under highly technical outerwear.  For this round the two brands are creating waterproof hats that incorporate Gore-Tex.  The 5-Panel Camp hat and the classic bucket hat have multiple color blocks and have been treated with 3M’s Gore-Tex water repellent.  These are perfect for your dome when those Spring showers occur.  Both hats should be reaching stores sometime next month.

For more extreme adventures, check out Pentax‘s Optio W90.  The mud on this picture is an over the top example of what type of abuse you can put it through, and still have it perform marvelously.  It’s all there with a shock proof, waterproof, and weatherproof shell to a certain degree.  But don’t worry, you won’t have to be gentle with this one.  It’s also though on the inside with a 12.1 mexapixel eye and 720p HD camera.
