Each week, our inbox runneth over with news of gear, apparel and tech releases from around the world. In this feature, we’ll parse through the best of it. Today: Polo Ralph Laurenreleases new US Open tennis wear, and New Balance puts out futuristic Mary Janes.
The US Open is fast approaching, and Polo Ralph Lauren, the official outfitter of the event, has launched their tennis-forward collection. There are sunglasses, tote bags, branded t-shirts — you name it. The great thing about these pieces is most of them can be worn beyond the famously well-dressed sporting event, whether you’re hitting balls on your own practice court or going to a business-casual dinner at The Polo Bar (if you can snag the res).
We’ve been sporting easygoing shoes all summer long, and to cap it all off, Sabah — the king of easygoing shoes — just released a new collaboration. The slip-ons, made in partnership with British menswear brand Drake’s, are individually hand-crafted in El Paso out of leather that has been naturally tanned over the course of 60 days. The drop is extremely limited in quantity, so get your pair while you can (ideally ahead of the Wickerpremier so you can attend on-theme).
It’s no surprise that everyone is leaning analog these days. From endless AI slop algorithms plaguing our brains to people forgoing IRL socialization in favor of online connection, there’s a general push to revert back to a less tech-heavy existence. Supreme (unsurprisingly) is plugged into this, as is evidenced by the upcoming release of their Analogue Pocket. It’s compatible with Game Boy game cartridges so you can relive your ’90s existence in 2026.
Mary Janes meets water shoes meets keens? You’ve got the perfect city-slicker to coastal hiker shoe, new from New Balance. The TDS MT2’s are inspired by a minimalist hiking and performance shoe line from New Balance, ideated and designed by the Tokyo Design Studio. These have a trail running-inspired base with an open mesh upper lining, so you really are getting the best of both worlds: a breathable top and a durable bottom.
You can never have too many tote bags. New England legacy brand Steele Canvas just released your new go-to bag in the form of their colorbock totes. Each one is handcrafted in the brand’s Wilmington, Massachusetts, shop and are made to last you years on end.
