Could they be the MOST desired after Sneakers EVER ?

Launched in 1976, Patek Philippe’s “Nautilus” timepiece was the brainchild of fabled watch designer Gérald Genta. Having an already successful career, Genta’s work with the Nautilus was a shift for the Patek brand, who until that point had focused primarily on gold focused watches. The watch’s octagonal bezel was immediately familiar and helped to define this watch as it grew in popularity through the 1980s and 1990s.

Adding to the Nautilus prolif history and extensive set of colorations, Tiffany and Co. joined the watches rap sheet in 2021 with quite possibly one of the most iconic watch moments. A single Tiffany x Patek timepiece raffling off for $6.5 Million dollars USD. While a bit beyond the watches true price point, NYC shoe maker Ceeze wanted to immortalize this Tiffany titan through another pair of unique bespoke shoes, similar in concept to the Daytona Air Jordan 1s we first reported on in March of this year.

For this watched themed creation, Ceeze has drawn in a uniquely sourced silver lizard, emulating the unique stainless steel band that helped forge the Nautilus’ infamy. Continuing to focus on the 5711 1A-018 edition, the artist has drawn in a tiffany tone suede mirror the watches’ bezel, white patent leather for the swoosh iconic swoosh and a butter soft black napa leather liner.

While limited to just 10 pieces, head over to the artist site to learn more and secure your pair before they are all gone.

Experience the Beautiful game with the whole family

As the new football season kicks off, Google searches for “football with kids” have already increased 45% in the past month! Whether as a family activity or a first step to grow children’s enthusiasm for football, many parents plan to take their kids to their favourite local team from an early age.

However, taking children to a new environment can be daunting. To help you better prepare to take care of your kids at football stadiums and to make full use of junior fan experience clubs offered, football travel experts from Voetbaltravel.nl reveal six top tips for parents when bringing children to football matches. Just follow the six Ps to enjoy the game and have fun!

1. Pick seats carefully

To ensure a more family-friendly experience, some clubs offer specific zone seating for young fans and their parents. This enables you to sit with other families to enjoy the best football atmosphere while keeping a distance from any overwhelming crowds. If the club doesn’t specify a family stand or block, choose a seat on the aisle! If you need to leave for the toilets or snack stands with your kids, your matchday experience will be a lot more stressful when you have to fight your way through the rows of people to get out.

2. Purchase concession tickets

Lots of clubs offer junior/kids membership packs which are usually 50% cheaper than adult memberships. They normally come with more kids-oriented benefits too such as club merchandise aimed at young people, personalised birthday cards and junior fans experiences which may include family activities, children social events or football practice. If you are on a budget, England’s Women Super League only charges 4 pounds on average for children.

3. Participate in junior fan events

Alongside junior membership and concession tickets, many football teams also offer a welcoming experience for kids with fun events on the matchday and beyond. For example, if you arrive early, you may spot the club mascot and enjoy some pre-match “meet and greet” photos together. For membership holders, you definitely don’t want to miss events like family play day, holiday parties or junior game days where your kid might have the chance to meet their favourite football players!

4. Pack clothes, snacks and more

Sometimes it can get pretty windy in the stadium, especially during evening games, so make sure to dress your kids up with multiple layers and pack them scarfs, hats or gloves. It is also highly recommended that you stock up with lots of snacks to keep them energised so you won’t be waiting in the long queue for food stalls and missing the game.

5. Protect their ears

Whilst cheering for our favourite team is an integral part of live football, it might sound too loud and overwhelming to children. If your kids are sensitive to sound or are under 5, you may want to consider ear defenders or ear plugs to reduce the impact that loud music and chants may have on their ears.

6. Put safety first

No matter how much enthusiasm your kids have for football, as a parent you know that safety always comes first. Arrive earlier before the match and show them around to get familiar with the stadium, emergency exits and who to go to if they get lost. If you are lucky enough to sit in the lower end of the stadium or around the goal or corner-flags, pay attention to where the balls are going even during the warm-ups. Once you are prepared then you are free to enjoy the game and have fun!

ASK THE EXPERTS FW22 – 1 POST OF 3

Every so often we like to speak to some of our favourite Retail and Etail Emporiums and seek their advice to what they are looking forward to, favourite pieces etc and it never fails to surprise and inspire us. So for the first of this season’s conundrums we ask some of the true trailblazers and opinion formers that encourage our wardrobe habits was, “What brand are you most excited about for Autumn/Winter 2022?”

Adrian Gibson – Menswear buyer for Robert Goddard

“We are very excited to add Hugo to our mix for AW22. We inherited the brand from our acquisition of 3 stores last year from the Maysons group but feel so strongly about the collection we are already rolling it out to selected Robert Goddard stores as well. Boss have done a great job to segment this collection to appeal to a younger, more fashion-conscious customer with really strong branding and a social media savvy marketing campaign. We have already seen very impressive results in store from the AW22 Pre Collection and look forward to developing another strong label along side our iconic Boss business.”
