Drops to Watch For
18 East has teamed up with Japanese label Nanga for their first-ever collaboration. The two brands share a love for functional outdoor wear, and the two pieces are evidence. The lookout jacket features a comfy and boxy silhouette fitted with raglan sleeves, large pockets at the hip, a functional and asymmetrical chest pocket, and a heat-sealed two-way zip front. The jacket and feather moc are crafted from Takibi (flame retardant material) and are then stuffed with 155 grams of water-repellent Spanish duck down to keep the wearer protected under harsh conditions. The jacket retails for $595 and the mocs are $115.

Levi's and New Balance pay homage to California mountain biking with their latest collaboration to commemorate Levi's 150th anniversary. The MT580 is a notable bulky silhouette from New Balance—released in the '90s. There are two colorways—grey-blue crafted with nubuck uppers, featuring overdyed Levi's denim on the toe box and side panel. The beige black, crafted with hairy suede uppers, features washed black Levi's denim on the toe box and side panels.
