Nike AeroReact – Being the biggest sports brand in the world affords Nike many luxuries, with one being top of the line research and development. Nike is keeping runners cool with the all-new AeroReact. This highly technical fabric has a yarn that detects moisture and becomes more breathable to cool you down. If moisture is reduced the yarn contracts and becomes tighter to keep you warm. AeroReact is one of Nike’s first thermo-regulated textiles, and its looking to make a splash in stores today.

LRG Holiday 2015 – I don’t know if LRG will ever have their former glory, but for the last few seasons they’ve made some convincing points. It’s not loud hoodies and wild all-over prints for this Orange County brand any more. They employ some talented designers and the first delivery for Holiday 2015 is clean. Sharp lines and tonal colors saturate this first drop of essential T-shirts, hoodies, button-up shirts, and outerwear. Maybe LRG will never get to their former shine, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make solid clothes.
