wings + horn Leather Slip-Ons – wings + horns started off by making some of the best fleece, moved on to menswear, and for the past few seasons, had them making boots. Now, with Spring and Summer around the corner, wings + horns makes a lighthearted slip-on. Using premium calfskin, the interior is also lined with leather and these retro sneakers sit on a vulcanized rubber soles. They’re not much to look at, but knowing wings + horns’ pursuit for quality tells me they will at the very least be durable.

Billionaire Boys Club 2015 – Remember those days when you could scoop up a BBC logo T-shirt and expect to flip it for a profit? Not anymore. Billionaire Boys Club is still around, but it lacks the bravado, and the new 2015 collection is a mash-up of inconsistent looks. There are the requisite spaceman logo T-shirts, but everything else seems like a stretch. With many of the pieces adhering to a collegiate look, the collection just looks confused and contrived. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting better, but I was hoping for more. How the mighty have fallen. Find 2015 at your nearest Off Saks’ or Nordstrom’s Rack.

MECCANO Furniture – Remember the days of the Erector Set?

Each one of these pieces are strong enough to support the weight of an adult. The furniture will certainly bring some color into your living room, but watch out, just because they resemble toys, doesn’t mean they are priced like ones.

Mission Workshop Remi – You don’t know what to expect when traveling. Over here, it’s nice and sunny, and, over there, can be cold and windy. Being prepared is tantamount to a good trip, and Mission Workshop believe they’ve created a coat that can take on anything.

Nike LeBron 12 EXT “Wheat” – This isn’t the first time LeBron had an all wheat colorway, and just like the last one, this is kind of lackluster. The performance basketball sneaker is draped in wheat nubuck with matching Posite accents and an all wheat outsole. In fact everything is wheat except a gold metallic swoosh and the eyelets. The LeBron 12 EXT “Wheat” replicates the classic Timberland boots very well, but sadly this isn’t one of those sneakers that benefit from the traditional work boot look.

Yeezy Season One – If there was any doubt why Kanye left Nike for adidas, this is why. Kanye West wasn’t happy with just sneakers, and his goal all along was to start his own fashion line. Designs and production is expensive, and with the backing of adidas Originals, Kanye has access to their networks, and the result is just what you expected. A lot of futuristic-looking stuff that is blended with a street style, oversized top coats, and holes on top of holes. This is an ambitious collection, and a large one. Something Nike probably wasn’t willing to risk, but no one believes in Kanye like Kanye; until adidas stepped in.
