CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN

Footasylum is turning up the heat this season with the exclusive launch of Nike’s latest collection, available now online and in Footasylum stores nationwide. This isn’t just another drop — it’s a statement piece in motion, designed for those who move differently.

Taking its cue from Nike’s legendary running franchises, this bold release blends technical performance with street-ready design, striking that perfect balance between sport and style. Every detail feels deliberate — engineered for comfort and movement, yet built to look right at home in an urban setting. It’s sportswear that earns its stripes in the gym, but really shines on the streets.

Front and centre are high-energy colourways created exclusively for Footasylum, each one pushing Nike’s visual language into new territory. Keep an eye out for the standout bold blue Windrunner, a piece destined to become the unofficial uniform of the modern mover.

Designed to hook together from head to toe, the collection channels Nike’s new “Tech Sport” aesthetic — a fusion of athletic DNA and everyday versatility. It’s perfect for those who don’t just wear their style but live it: dynamic, unapologetic, and always in motion.

In a world where performance and lifestyle increasingly collide, this partnership between Nike and Footasylum cements both brands’ positions at the forefront of modern sportswear aesthetics. The only question left: are you ready to move with it?

Now that autumn has fully arrived, bringing damp air, rain, and muddy commutes, a common daily habit is silently destroying your footwear and could be creating a serious hygiene issue inside your home.

Experts are issuing a seasonal alert: wearing the same pair of shoes every day now that the weather has turned is the fastest way to invite mould, rot, and drastically shorten your shoes’ lifespan.

The simple, non-obvious solution is to implement an immediate shoe rotation strategy.

For most of the year, wearing the same shoes daily isn’t a major issue, but the seasonal shift in autumn changes the equation entirely.

Footwear expert Julian Nelson, at A Fine Pair of Shoes, explains that the problem is not external moisture (rain) but internal moisture (sweat) that never gets a chance to escape.

“Your feet sweat constantly, up to half a pint a day, and during autumn and winter, that moisture gets trapped inside the shoe’s lining and sole,” says Nelson. “During the summer, the shoe can dry out overnight. But in damp, cooler weather, your leather or synthetic shoes simply cannot dry completely in 8 or 10 hours. By wearing them again the next morning, you are locking in moisture that the shoe has been holding since yesterday.”

The urgent consequences of damp shoes

Wearing permanently damp shoes creates several major problems that quickly degrade the footwear:

• Foul odour and mould: The damp, dark, warm environment is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and mildew. This is the primary cause of persistent, foul smells and can eventually lead to mould growth on the leather or inside the lining.
• Rot and collapse: Constant moisture causes the glues in the sole and the stitching to break down. For leather, moisture weakens the fibres, causing them to stretch and eventually rot from the inside out. This drastically shortens the lifespan of an expensive pair of shoes.

The solution: 

Jenkins stresses that the fix is simple, cost-free, and essential for preserving your footwear and foot health.

“The solution is to never wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. You need to invest in a second pair and rotate them,” advises Nelson. “A shoe needs a full 24 to 48 hours to properly dry out and allow the interior moisture to fully dissipate.”

Bonus tip: 

Use cedar shoe trees: While resting, place cedar shoe trees inside the shoes. Cedar wood naturally draws out moisture and fights odour, helping the shoe return to its original shape.

By adopting this simple rotation rule now, you can keep your shoes fresher, prevent expensive early replacement, and protect your feet from the bacteria that thrive in damp conditions

There are few silhouettes in menswear as instantly recognisable as the Timberland Original Yellow Boot. First launched in 1973, it became more than just a piece of footwear — it became a cultural symbol. From work sites to city streets, festivals to fashion runways, Timberland’s yellow boot defined rugged style and enduring craftsmanship for generations.

Now, Timberland takes that legacy and redefines it for today with the launch of the Waterproof Luxe Boot — a modern evolution that fuses rugged heritage with refined luxury.

Handcrafted from Horween Dryden nubuck leather, one of the world’s most prestigious leathers, the Luxe Boot offers exceptional texture, depth, and durability. Every pair is a masterclass in craftsmanship — from the premium Horween leather lining that enhances comfort inside and out, to the leather welt and matching leather laces that deliver a sophisticated, cohesive finish.

But make no mistake — this is no delicate showpiece. True to Timberland’s DNA, the Luxe Boot is built to perform. Fully seam-sealed and waterproof, it’s designed to face the elements head-on. A Vibram outsole ensures confident traction on any terrain, while Timberland’s Anti-Fatigue Technology keeps you comfortable whether you’re exploring city streets or country trails.

Available in timeless wheat and black colourways, the Timberland Waterproof Luxe Boot represents the perfect balance between form and function — heritage craftsmanship meeting contemporary luxury.

More than fifty years after the Original Yellow Boot changed footwear forever, Timberland proves once again that true icons don’t fade — they evolve.

Gentlemen, gather ’round — if you’ve been looking for the perfect blend of street-soul and smart-cut, look no further than the latest drop from Mo Gilligan and NEXT. This isn’t just a celeb-label tie-up, it’s a proper wardrobe reset.

Mo Gilligan has always been about personality — energy, humour, life. When he turned his attention to menswear, the mission was clear: bring real people pieces that look sharp but don’t sacrifice comfort. The NEXT collaboration delivers exactly that. On the NEXT site, the range is described as “a confident, contemporary style, seamlessly blending comfort with sharp, on-trend details”. 

The Pieces You’ll Actually Wear

We’re talking tees, roll-necks, alike- jackets, trousers that pass both chill-out and step-out tests. Key pieces include:

• A Black Relaxed Fit Heavyweight T-Shirt — clean, minimal, staples done right.  
• A Brown Regular Fit Cotton Rich Roll Neck Jumper — crisp enough under a blazer or solo with your favourite jeans.  
• A Tan Brown Regular Fit Signature Suede Blazer — yes, blazer. Because comfort doesn’t exclude style elevation.  

Why It Works

• It’s versatile. These are pieces you can wear from Friday drinks, to Sunday brunch, to a smart-casual meeting.
• It’s grounded. The fabrics, the fits, the combos — all sensible. No over-the-top hype, just well-considered menswear.
• It’s accessible. Mo’s name fronting it gives it personality; NEXT backing gives it reach. And the prices are realistic for what you’re getting.

How to Style It

• Throw the roll-neck jumper under the suede blazer. Smart enough for business-casual, relaxed enough for the weekend.
• Pair the heavyweight tee with tailored chinos or smart joggers — the relaxed fit tee gives the street edge, the trousers bring the polish.
• Keep your shoes clean — white leather trainers or suede loafers both work. Finish with a watch and maybe a subtle lapel pin if you’re feeling bold.
• Colour palette? Stick to the range: black, brown/tan, dark green, navy. Let the fits and texture do the talking.

In short: if you’ve been waiting for menswear that bridges the gap between “I work hard” and “I know how to enjoy life” — this Mo Gilligan × NEXT collection is that bridge. The kind of drop where you walk out the door feeling like you’ve dressed deliberately, not just thrown on something.

Gear up, gents — your wardrobe’s about to get a little sharper.

There are hoodies — and then there’s the hoodie. The one that started it all. The one that defined comfort, durability and effortless cool long before “athleisure” was even a word. That hoodie is, of course, the Champion Reverse Weave.

Born in 1938, Champion’s Reverse Weave wasn’t just another sweatshirt — it was a revolution. Designed with athletes in mind, its unique horizontal knitting method made it shrink resistant, incredibly durable, and unmatched in comfort. Decades later, it’s still the blueprint every other brand has tried (and failed) to copy.

A Legacy Stitched in Every Seam

Since 1919, Champion has been setting the pace for athletic innovation — long before streetwear and sportswear blurred into one. From team uniforms and training gear to everyday staples, Champion has always understood that true performance comes from quality, not compromise.

The Reverse Weave exemplifies that philosophy. Its heavyweight fleece offers that unmistakable lived-in comfort — the kind that feels as good on the first wear as it does after years of use. It’s tough, timeless, and effortlessly cool — the sort of piece that quietly says, “I’ve been around long enough to know what works.”

More Than a Label

But Champion’s story isn’t just about great kit — it’s about championing people. Today, the brand’s mission goes beyond sport, inspiring creators, communities, and changemakers to live their truth. Champion believes a true champion isn’t defined by medals or stats, but by what they do with what they’ve got.

By supporting creators and giving them a platform to tell their stories, Champion proves that authenticity never goes out of style — it just gets better with age.

Still the Benchmark

Decades may have passed, trends may have come and gone, but the Champion Reverse Weave remains the gold standard. Heavyweight. Hardwearing. Iconic.

This isn’t just a hoodie. It’s the original — the one that built the blueprint
