The 33 Best Adidas Sneakers of All Time, Ranked

This is a reminder that Adidas’s catalog goes way deeper than the Samba. But how do you sort a lineup that’s home to legendary sneakers like the Stan Smith and the SL 72? Complex breaks down its rubric: “The rankings consider the shoes diachronically, weighing how they were received when they debuted and how they’ve lived on in the years since. They factor in the specific heat of individual models right now; if there’s a shoe that’s currently on fire, that is reflected in this ranking.”

Here, Coggins applies those tried and true sensibilities to the moment’s trends—grandpa style, and western wear, among others—to achieve timeless looks that are ready for right now.

Here’s how the corporation is leveraging artificial intelligence to deliver more goods faster, and not without some pretty serious costs.

G-Shock Links Up With Western Hydrodynamic for a New Watch

No, this trucker hat you’ve been seeing all over Insta isn’t an artifact of some long gone agricultural consulting company, sourced from the bottom of the bargain bin at your local thrift store. As much as its name and font cosplay farm life, Western Hydrodynamic Research is actually a California brand making tasteful surf-inspired gear. Following collaborations with the likes of Crocs and Birdwell, the brand just teamed up with G-Shock for a watch that’s built for life on the water, with tide and moon charts and a water resistance of up to 200 meters deep. $170
