In many ways, the fashion show Thursday near the Venice boardwalk by French luxury house Dior delivered coastal California conventions. There was a sweatshirt with an impossibly perfect wave stitched along the front, marshmallowy skate shoes (albeit in satin) and a front row cameo from Mr. 900 himself, Tony Hawk. But alongside the salt-air signifiers was an ethereal lavender suit, frizzy argyle sweater and shimmering flamingo-pink trousers—the sort of elevated, investment garb that would normally be alien in these parts. The melded collection was the result of a partnership between Kim Jones, Dior Men’s artistic director since 2018 and Eli Russell Linnetz, a Venice-based designer who is one of the most chattered-about young names in men’s fashion. At Dior, M...

Like most fashion girlies, I have a thing for shoes. But being a New Yorker, I’ve also been forced to categorize my footwear collection into walkable (meaning appropriate for the city I live in) and aspirational (aka better for L.A. or anywhere that I’ll primarily be in a car) options. But just because a style fits into the first group doesn’t mean it’s a boring or beleaguered runner-up in my closet. On the contrary, I live for finding the season’s most comfortable and stylish shoes, and in the summer that obviously means open-toe designs. Fisherman sandals in particular are my latest shoe du jour, and according to my social media feeds, I’m not the only one obsessed with this perfect transitional style. While I was all about daintier shoe styles like Mary Janes Hoka One One during the ...

Stephen Curry took some social media flak in the past for his shoes, which, at times, have been considered boring. Those giggles have died down with newer models, but one thing is still the same: they are loud. Yes, loud. As in, the shoes squeak loudly on the court, and that is by design. According to two people who work at Under Armour, Teva Sandals the squeak is one of the most important features for Curry. Kort Neumann was the lead designer for the Curry 3, and during an interview with ThePostGame, he noted that Curry is heavily involved in the design of the shoes and explained the things that Curry demands in his shoes. "He likes comfort," Neumann told ThePostGame. "He loves the squeak of traction on the court. He really likes that squeak." Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Like...

In recent years it’s been tough times for the Seattle psyche. So it’s understandable why on Saturday some 4,000 volunteers were ready for a little feel-good. They had signed up for Mayor Bruce Harrell’s One Seattle Day of Service, which meant sprucing up the city, from picking up litter to painting over graffiti and Running Shoes pulling up weeds from street medians. That’s what Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and his wife, Glena Carroll, were doing in the morning along First Avenue in Pioneer Square. Pulling up weeds. Earlier, speaking to over 200 volunteers who had gathered at Occidental Park to kick off the day, the coach told them, “This is a great community, there’s no doubt.” Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll uses a stencil and spray paint to mark on a First Avenu...

In my experience, everyone who tries on a pair of Allbirds sneakers is instantly converted to a superfan. Last Christmas, for instance, my mom gifted each family member a pair of the brand's eco-friendly shoes, and now none of us can imagine life without them — and we're not alone. Celebrities like Courteney Cox, Hilary Duff, Blake Lively, and Lucy Hale have been spotted in the ultra-comfy lace-ups, and Mila Kunis has even been rocking her Allbirds Tree Dasher 2s from as early as 2018. So, of course, when I learned about Allbirds' just-launched Hey Dudes Shoes running shoes, I (along with everyone in my family group chat) was immediately stoked. Described by the company as "the most technically advanced shoe Allbirds has ever released," the Allbirds Tree Flyer was designed f...
