Name: ARC’TERYX Postour Boot Men’sColorway: Black/Black, Tatsu/BlackSKU: X000010507MSRP: $300 USDRelease Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: ARC’TERYXARC’TERYX is targeting the downtime between backcountry days with the Postour Boot, a two-part recovery boot built for après touring. An insulated, waterproof overboot handles snow and ice outdoors, while a separate slipper slides out from inside so wearers can head straight indoors without swapping footwear.The overboot is the weatherproof half of the system. ARC’TERYX wraps it in GORE-TEX Invisible Fit, running the waterproof layer all the way up to the top of the collar for extra protection and warmth. That high collar closes with a drawcord that tightens much like a climbing chalk bag, sealing the opening against deep snow and slush. Endure 360 extended rubber coverage circles the entire boot, reinforcing it against scuffs and impacts.Grip comes from a Vibram Arctic Grip outsole engineered for secure footing on icy ground, paired with a lug pattern shaped to bite into snow and other soft terrain. Underfoot cushioning adds a layer of comfort for feet that have spent the day locked into stiff ski boots.Warmth runs through both layers. Coreloft synthetic insulation lines the overboot and the slipper, so the pair stays warm whether it’s worn as a full boot outside or reduced to the inner piece indoors. The slipper itself is fully functional on its own, offering support when nested inside the boot and switching to a TPU grip outsole made for indoor surfaces once it’s pulled out.The men’s Postour comes in two colorways, Black/Black and Tatsu/Black, both built with a textile upper, synthetic insole and rubber outsole, and listed for alpine, touring, freeride and resort use. ARC’TERYX notes the boot is PFAS compliant and requires surface cleaning only. Sizing runs in whole sizes, and the brand recommends sizing up for anyone between sizes or after a roomier fit.

Name: Nike Air Force 1 ’01 “Philly”Colorway: White/Rush Blue-University RedSKU: JW9694-100MSRP: $140 USDRelease Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: SNKRSNike is greeting LeBron James’ move to Philadelphia with the Air Force 1 ‘01 “Philly,” a city-dedicated pair dressed in Sixers colors and loaded with local references. Rather than a signature-line release, the brand is leaning on its most recognizable low-top to mark the moment, building the shoe around Philadelphia itself.This is the second time in 2026 that Nike has turned the Air Force 1 ‘01 into a snapshot of a city’s basketball mood. Earlier this year, the “NYC” edition arrived as the Knicks pushed through the playoffs, its insoles printed with a pixelated rendering of Madison Square Garden. The “Philly” pair trades arena imagery for team colors and civic shorthand, keeping the tribute rooted in the city rather than a single building.Up top, the White/Rush Blue-University Red colorway is mapped with clear intent. White leather handles the toe, lacing area and heel, while royal blue covers the perforated toe box and side panels. Red leather Swooshes sweep across each side, and a smaller red Swoosh sits just below the laces to carry the accent color toward the center of the shoe.The heel is where the city really announces itself. One shoe is embroidered with “215” and the other with “PHL,” each outlined in blue and cut through by a red Swoosh, while white “Phila” lettering stands in for standard branding on the blue heel tabs. “215” is one of Philadelphia’s area codes, giving the pair a local detail only the city would fully read.Underfoot, a white midsole carries blue “AIR” lettering and sits on a blue rubber outsole. The most pointed detail hides inside: the insoles show a black-and-white brick wall split by cracks, with a red Nike logo smashing through one section. For a shoe built around a star landing in a new city, it’s a fitting image to stand on.

New Balance and menswear designer Todd Snyder have officially introduced the T500 “Cafe Pack”, delivering an elevated take on the archival 1982 court shoe.Originally engineered in 1982 for tennis performance, the T500 transitioned naturally into everyday street culture, embraced by skaters and style outsiders for its flat, grounded profile. Reimagined through a contemporary leisure lens, this modern release retains its classic court foundation while upgrading its construction with refined, tactile materials.Replacing the silhouette’s traditional canvas uppers, the design incorporates a contrasting blend of hairy suede and crocodile-stamped leather for added texture and polish. The low-profile uppers sit atop a distinct gum midsole, introducing an understated nod to 1980s athletic engineering over traditional vulcanized sole units. Offered in two distinct colorways—”Espresso” and “Milk”—the palette draws direct aesthetic cues from the warmth, textures, and canine visitors of local neighborhood coffee shops.The Todd Snyder x New Balance T500 “Cafe Pack” releases October 22 at 10 AM ET for $130 USD, available exclusively at online and all Todd Snyder retail locations.
