Editor’s Pick: New Balance x K-Way 420 Sneakers

The GQ Eye: GQ on Style — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:00:00 +0000

New Balance has been killing it lately, bringing out the best of the brand's archives and partnering up with top notch collaborators to produce kick ass, well, kicks. Their latest lineup takes the classic K-Way jacket south, reinterpreting the 80's style in sneaker form. Crafted out of New Balance's streamlined 420 model, the sneaker takes the K-Way's sealed, waterproof nylon and sets it against suede accents. Coming in four K-Way classic colors, including a blogger blue that caught our eye, the sneakers are available now at CNCPTS in Boston, David Z in New York and online at Park & Bond. And if you're longing to get your hands on the inspiration piece itself, rest assured the collaboration produced a signature anorak that's also up for grabs.

The Daily Endorsement: Ernest Alexander for Of a Kind Finch Briefcase

The GQ Eye: GQ on Style — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 15:10:00 +0000

Last month we swung through the Warby Parker holiday bazaar in SoHo to visit our friends at Of a Kind, who were showcasing some of the upcoming pieces available on their site. The standout was this briefcase from NYC's Ernest Alexander (if you're not up on them, you should be). Besides just being generally awesome looking, the Finch has a designated area for your laptop, and space for any extras you like to haul around on the daily, all while retaining a slim profile so no one mistakes you for the mailman. It's the perfect every day bag for the every day dude; so we're telling everyone, especially since there's only 30 available, and they just went on sale at 10:00am. All you Thursday night rockstars might wanna wake up for this one.

$225, available on ofakind.com.

Happy Birthday, Mr Porter

It's hard to believe that just a year ago the online shopping landscape for men was a pretty barren place with only a few sites stocking the goods guys really wanted. Then, along came Porter. The gentlemanly other half to Natalie Massenet's fashion juggernaut Net-A-Porter, Mr Porter has emerged as the modern man's go-to shopping destination, stocking luxury designer goods alongside new and noteworthy brands. To celebrate the site's first anniversary, Mr Porter has teamed up with ten designers on a collection of pocket squares fit for any occasion. Mr Porter's Pocket Square Project (say that three times fast) features designs from Alexander Olch, Band of Outsiders, Drakes, The Elder Statesman, Horiyoshi III, Jean Shop, Oliver Spencer, Our Legacy, Richard James and YMC. Each style is limited to just fifty units and the lot can be purchased individually or as a full set. And just like shopping at a warehouse store, albeit a very sprezzy one, buying in bulk saves you some bucks so go for the gift set if you're feeling extra . The squares hit the site this Tuesday and in addition to our exclusive sneak peek above, click through for the squares in some Mr Porter approved looks.
