@voguegermany @thepangaia The sneaker of the future is here

Meet the PANGAIA Grape Leather Sneaker @fuuuckingyoung @thepangaia This September, PANGAIA introduces a minimalist, zero-waste sneaker made from grape leather repurposed from the Italian wine industry’s waste and featuring the brand’s text print aesthetic. Each year, the global wine industry produces 26 billion liters of wine, which generates 6.5 billion liters of waste. This waste (grape stalks, skins, and seeds) can be turned into an environmentally friendly leather alternative. The PANGAIA Sneaker also features a 100% recycled rubber sole created from industrial waste (samples, prototypes, and rejected products), avoiding virgin resources and making it circular in production and design. It is ultra-comfortable, lightweight, breathable, highly ecological, and responsibly produced in Italy. Available for limited pre-order from September 15. #wastenotwantnot #thepangaia #grapeleather #sneaker

@nymag @thestrategist What are the best (baggie-like) lounge pants? @kingandtuckfield stone wash grant trouser “The fit and length of these trousers is impeccable, as are the seamless waistband detail and perfectly placed pleats,” Patel says in praising these pants he calls “the perfect transitional trousers.” They’re constructed from a hefty Italian stonewashed denim, but the looser fit allows for plenty of movement. If, like us, you’re new to King and Tuckfield, Patel explains it is one of his “favorite British brands” because its range “effortlessly combines heritage with modern elegance.”

Walter Steiger’s Daughter Reboots Family Business for New Generation @wwd @tanksteiger The Walter Steiger brand has been reborn as Tank Steiger — a line of wearable shoes and bags for a new generation of women. The name Tank comes from the brand’s sole design — known as carro armato in Italian, or military tank as it translates in English. The brand presently has a lace-up ankle boot and slip-on style with this sole and will launch an elasticized Chelsea boot style in 10 colors come fall. Each pair retails for under $320 and is manufactured in Italy. “We are making shoes that are capable going beyond seasons and trends. The idea is to make shoes that women can wear all day long; it’s a sportswear shoe but at same time, it can go to the office or to a party. I like the idea of shoes that are are versatile and embrace every female identity that women can wear in their 20s or 60s.” While Walter Steiger was most recently best known for its extreme high-heeled styles — selling an assortment of curved stilettos for luxury prices at stores like Barneys New York — the Tank brand has been conceptualized to address what Steiger sees as an open space in the market. @wwd @wwd_jp @wwdkorea #tanksteiger #waltersteiger #helmutnewton #shoedesign #facesoffashion

Everything a Beginner Needs to Go Surfing in the Rockaways @nymag @thestrategist @ucon_acrobatics “It took me way too long to figure out that investing in a good bag is essential. For more than a year, I made my weekly journey with my things packed inside of a recycled canvas tote bag and an extra plastic bag for my wet swimsuit. No matter how much I tried, my bag would always end up soaked and oftentimes leaking on the subway platform. Things got even more complicated when I invested in my own wetsuit and had to lug an extra canvas bag for it to slosh around in. After seeing me struggle with two damp totes, someone at Station surf shop recommended a waterproof surf bag. A game changer! I love this one from @ucon_acrobatics because it comes in a bunch of fun colors, has a separate pocket for your laptop, and feels extra secure because of its Velcro closure, but there are a number of brands that make them. The most important thing to look for is that it’s waterproof and has different compartments to chuck your stuff into. #waterproofbackpack #surfing #therockaways #waterproof #recycled #safe #multipurpose #bag @sdirshe
