Adidas Rod Laver OG

—01. Running White and Fairway.

Words

Adidas' Rod Laver model has always seemed like one of the perfect pairs of sneakers to me, released as the signature shoe of the Australian tennis player of the same name. They have a little more going on design-wise than the Stan Smith, Gazelle and Campus but still retain a simple, clean look that is the hallmark of the Adidas Originals footwear line.

The Catalina Jacket is a quintessential 1960s spring-weight cotton bomber produced by Cottonopolis, Oi Polloi's in-house line. Made entirely in the UK, it features an interesting curved yoke detail, check lining and two button front pockets, much like the original vintage version it was patterned after. These jackets are being offered in three colours, but with limited numbers available don't wait too long if they suit your liking.

—01. 55% Hemp, 45% Organic Cotton.

Words

This 3/4 sleeve baseball shirt, constructed in the US by Jungmaven, not only looks great in the classic two-tone blue and white colourway, but also utilizes a majority share of the much more eco-friendly hemp fibre in its fabric composition. The durable fibre is blended with organic cotton to create a richly textured but very soft material.

Words

The Joel Chukka, Sanders' version of Hutton's Original Playboy, is a timeless English-made boot. Manufactured in Northampton by a company established in 1873, which has held numerous defence contracts over the years, the style will never lose its allure for the sole reason that it was Steve McQueen's chukka boot of choice.
