Steven Alan Field Watch – Steven Alan debuted an optics collection and, now, he is setting his sight on watches. The new field watch from the American designer is based off of the standard issue field watch given to those serving in the military. The watch has a clean and uncluttered design, but the dial is updated with dots instead of numerals. The watch may look small, but it has an over-sized 46mm case, and is powered by a reliable automatic Japanese movement. Look for the watch to be offered in navy, black, green, and white.

adidas Skateboarding ADV BOOST – I think it’s time to ditch my Nike SB Blazer Lows because I found a new pair of beaters. adidas Skateboarding finally delivers by incorporating the BOOST sole into the new ADV BOOST. The sneaker uses a soccer-inspired look with the famous three stripes and a micro mesh Techfit sockliner and tongue. But, what I am really looking forward to is the specially formulated thermoplastic polyurethane “pebbles” in the BOOST sole. Add the fact that adidas threw in a Vector Traction outsole for superior grip and control. I definitely don’t need that when I’m playing Destiny, but it’s nice.

The Shrine Weekender Backpack – Travel backpacks come in all shapes and sizes, but The Shrine Weekender was made specifically to house kicks. The Weekender looks like a mini-fridge strapped across your back, but within its carry-on ready size is a padded compartment that can hold two pairs of shoes. The bag is cleverly designed to also accommodate room for clothes, a laptop, and little compartments for necessary accessories. For this latest Weekender expect to find NBA logos that commemorate the upcoming All-Star weekend in New York City.

Undefeated x NEIGHBORHOOD – Undefeated has snagged another exclusive project and, this time, NEGHBORHOOD and the LA-based brand created the Alpha Dogs collection. Using a heavy dose of wolf imagery, along with the always popular Greek alphabet, the collection offers a strong showing of streetwear staples. The T-shirt and hooded zipper use heavyweight Japanese fleece and each piece comes heavily co-branded with the famous 5-strikes and NEIGHBORHOOD script. This is a great collection for those in the US who can’t get access to NEIGHBORHOOD, but, personally, NEIGHBORHOOD’s standalone stuff is way better.

New Balance Spring/Summer 996 MRL – New Balance needs to give their colorist a raise because the new 996 MRL is fire. The classic runner returns for Spring and Summer, and, right off the bat, you’ll see a few updates. The toe box and quarter panel have been updated with New Balance’s ultralight textile. The back keeps it classy with the traditional suede and mesh, but what really gets the sneaker to pop is how the contrasting materials is met with contrasting colors. The all red front aggressively pulls back to clean off-white.
