Nike's original Air Zoom Drive was released in 1999. 25 years later, in partnership with Drake's NOCTA brand, it's making a return. This updated take has an upper made from mesh and leather, with the former offering breathability while reducing weight. A sock-like inner sleeve improves the feel, while a visible Zoom Air unit in the heel provides responsive cushioning during active pursuits. It's finished with NOCTA North Star logos on the rear and insole and reflective textiles on the upper to increase visibility during nighttime sessions.

Debuted in 1985, the Air Jordan 1 is arguably the most influential sneaker in history and looks striking in this tuxedo-matching black and white colorway. The Retro High silhouette has a premium leather upper featuring a stitched-down Swoosh logo, the classic Wings logo stamped on the padded collar, and a perforated toe box. Nike Air-Sole units cushion your feet on and off the court, while the solid rubber outsole provides traction on various surfaces.

Collars & Co. got its start making polos masquerading as dress shirts. While they look good under jackets, the performance polos look equally as good under that most versatile of pieces, the quarter-zip pullover. Equally as suitable for a chilly morning round of golf as a breezy sunset dinner, they come in a variety of styles, including reversible styles, stretchy, wrinkle-resistant golf models, cashmere and merino blends, and even cable-knit offerings for cooler weather. No matter which one you choose, it's sure to become a wardrobe staple.

Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.
