Cool Hunting
Peeking into what's next from Dr. Martens as they continue to revamp themselves for today's market, we found a couple of good options for Fall and Winter. New monochromes and a neon series are a very "now" treatment of their iconic heavy-soled boots, but we also like the more traditional look of their Monkey Boot.
First released back in the late '60s as a lighter-weight alternative to their more traditional styles, the reissue is now available in both leather and suede with either white or tan transparent soles. With a classic silhouette, subtle stitched details and rigid construction, it's a shoe that's sure to last a long time. The no-frills design is testament to Dr. Martens values, further proof of their role as one of the most consistent, unwavering and timeless boot brands.
Available soon from Dr. Martens for $130.

In collaboration with the classic British shoe maker John Lobb Ltd, London-based design duo Doshi Levien came up with this beautiful new range of shoes. Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien, with support from the British Arts Council, undertook an apprenticeship at the Lobb workshop to learn the traditional method of hand-making shoes. The result is a stunning collection appropriately entitled "Apprentice." We love the...
Japanese brand Ubiq always comes up with head-turning, sometimes offbeat designs when it comes to their footwear. The latest 2007 Fall/Winter collection is no different. My favorites from the group have to be the Braska and Bernadette models. A mid-cut boot, the Braska (right) is not as clunky as most urban hiking alternatives. The most innovative feature is the gator-like fleece sock appended to...
This week, our friends at Refinery29 uncovered some exceptional footwear styles for guys that use fabric and water-proof treatments in a modern, fashionable way. There are plenty of puddle-friendly possibilities—tapered zip-up boots from SWIMS have an almost Dandy refinement; rubberized Chucks from John Varvatos are tailored for the traditionalist who still wants to keep his feet dry; while Gram's Softshell Sneakers are chic enough...
With the winter season just around the corner, last night's debut of Timberland's new line of boots aptly named the Abington Collection — Timberland was originally named The Abington Shoe Company — at Alife Rivington Club comes just in time. The three new models are all cut from the famous leathers of Horween Leather Company out of Chicago, who've been in business for more...
Swims, the Norwegian line of sleek galoshes, has already saved many a pair of shoes from inclement weather with their designs geared for urbanites. Now, with the introduction of the City Slipper, heels can benefit from the same cleverly-conceived protection. The new wrapper adds traction (in the form of a map of either New York, Paris or Tokyo) and shields delicate leather soles and...
by Mat Lyon J Shoes recently collaborated with Los Angeles, CA-based magazine metro.pop to produce the limited edition Mpj Boot. With the market saturated by minimally shaped and starkly-colored offerings, we like the refreshing leap back to the roots of shoe design. The Mpj boot reverently bows its head to Native America with its premium leather construction, removable fringe, sock liner made from recycled material...
