Don Toliver and Nicolai Marciano design a one-of-one motorcycle
Don Toliver and Nicolai Marciano of GUESS Jeans have come together to design a one-of-one 1970s Shovelhead chopper. With the help of bespoke motorcycle engineering expert Yaniv Evan, and 2000 hours of work, the steed was built from scratch. The move sees Toliver and Marciano build on a 2021 co-designed GUESS Originals merch collection to coincide with the release of Don’s sophomore record, “Life of a Don.”

END. has teamed up with adidas to celebrate 10 years of Gary Aspden’s curation of SPZL.

Anok Yai takes Bottega Veneta to the beach
Over the weekend, Matthieu Blazy schooled us on how to wear Bottega Veneta in the summer, taking to Instagram to showcase the latest Anok Yai for Bottega Veneta campaign. Anok is pictured wading in the ocean, clutching an oversized woven shopper, and later against a cave backdrop wearing denim-style trousers.
Solid Homme links up with Stefan Cooke
In this collaboration between Solid Homme and London-based menswear design duo Stefan Cooke, Korea and London collide. As part of the link-up, Solid Homme’s signature wearability is reinterpreted as part of the Stefan Cooke world, where casual Americana meets with the British brand’s trademark textile subversion. Garments include a field jacket, a boxy leather police jacket, a heavy-duty hoodie, and American football jersey-style T-shirts.
C.P. Company opens Shanghai flagship store
C.P. Company is expanding its Chinese retail operations by opening its first store in Shanghai. The brand’s foundations in China stem from founder Massimo Osti’s visits to the region since the early ‘70s, where he was influenced by China’s rich manufacturing skills and culture. If you're in the city, be sure to check this one out.
Footpatrol and Reebok get grungy
Footpatrol and Reebok are giving the legendary Club-C sneaker a grunge-over. Looking to the early ‘90s grunge scene, the trainer is designed with the movement’s identity in mind. Hairy suede is reflective of a natural ageing process, and weathered denim-look fabrics nod to the distressed DIY tropes that characterised the grunge uniform. If this sounds like a bit of you, head to the Footpatrol web store to grab your pair.
Satisfy and HOKA hit the trails
Some things just go well together, and Satisfy Running and HOKA collaborations are one of them. The latest HOKA sneaker to get a touch of Satisfy’s skateboarding-influenced sickness is the HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite. As you’d expect, the campaign visuals go hard, and show a gang of trail runners putting the shoe through its paces in the dirt. If this is up your street, the Satisfy x HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite drops on Friday.
