Dr. Martens is a brand I’ve enjoyed seeing expand over the past few years as they always have a little something for everybody. From their new Spring 2012 collection they present the Alfred, made up of a classic Brogue shoe design. The quality low-top shoe features a mix of leather and waterproofed chera waxed canvas on the upper, sitting comfortably on a standout white sole. Available at Kith along with more of the collection, you can grab the Alfred Navy Brogue for $140 USD online or in store at Kith BK or Kith Manhattan. Stay tuned for more Dr. Martens releases…

Christmas in January? Sort of. Here they are, 4 limited Asics Gels at retail. Black/Grey GT-2′s priced at $65 and 3 colorways of the Gel Lyte III, Red/Blue/White, Lime/Black/Infared, and White/Royal/Purple all priced at $80. Available at KithNY and KithBK as well as online at Kithnyc.com today at 11am Est. First come, first served.

I really like what Dr. Martens is doing here. It’s important for us to relate to the brand and feel like we are a part of what they do. Nicely done.

This Fall/Winter 2011 season Ralph Lauren’s RLX collection presents the Abridge Nylon Boot. RLX is a sub-line of Ralph Lauren where performance meets style.

2011 was a great year and before I get busy in 2012 this was very necessary. Even though it might seem impossible at times, I hope all of you take the time out to reflect on accomplishments clear your minds. The older I get, the more I realize how important it really is.
