This week was chock full of fun and interesting new releases. Take Maurice Lacroix Aikon's #Tide Watch, for example. It's bright orange (kind of like the bottle Tide comes in). Then there's Mount Sunny and Diemme's animal-printed slip-ons. They have a traction-focused sole and a leather toe, but they're closer to slippers than they are serious work boots. But in-between these extremes, there are also practical bags made from vintage materials, a pair of black watches and some seriously wearable Clarks sneakers.

Hoka One One makes incredible footwear. Running shoes, hikers, slides, you name it. And they're all super comfortable. Combine the plush ride with Bodega's eye for colors and materials? Amazing. This is one of the better outdoor sneakers released this year.

The Maurice Lacroix Aikon's design is rooted in steel sport watches like the Royal Oak, but now it comes a multitude of new versions and colors made from recycled ocean plastic. They're among the brands working with the Swiss company #Tide that supplies the material.

At last, these mules are finally coming out. They've been teased by every publication and posted on everyone's Instagram by now, but they're finally here: the Mount Sunny x Diemme patterned mule. It has a lug sole, a leather toe cap and an animal print upper.

The resurrected brand Tornek-Rayville debuted last year with a modern version of its historic military dive watch, and its second watch is the Paradive Class B. Tornek-Rayville is led by the same people behind the brand MKII which also made a Paradive tribute watch. It's based on the military watch specification MIL-W-50717, is water-resistant to 200m and runs on a Seiko NE15C automatic movement.

This tote bag by Affxwrks doubles as a picnic blanket. To carry it, you simply scoop it by its handle and the contents on top come with it. It's clever, and pretty practical.

You're not going to find a better deal for a world time watch with an in-house movement than Frederique Constant's. The brand has released a couple of limited editions featuring blue dials to mark 10 years since the model was introduced.

Puebco fashioned these drawstring bags out of vintage materials. They're sturdy, pretty damn spacious and stylish as hell. They'll look like a sick vintage score, but they're built to actually tow stuff.

Sister brand of Frederique Constant (see above), Alpina has refreshed their Startimer pilot watch line. The new watches take the collection in direction that's both retro and sporty. We can't complain about the 41mm diameter, but a smaller future option would also be nice.

Cowgirl dropped its newest collection this week, a suite of T-shirts and such designed for spring/summer. Included is this Peace T-shirt, a logo tee that covers the entire torso.

If you know Unimatic's flagship watch, the Modello Uno or U1, the new watches might not look new at first. These are indeed the basic design that helped make the brand a sensation, but now featuring a slimmer case and Swiss automatic movement. Thumbs up on both accounts from us, but they're limited to 500 examples in steel (U1S-MP) and 400 with a black coating (U1S-MPN).

This is an entirely new silhouette for Clarks, the Rossendale, introduced in Kith founder Ronnie Fieg's new collection, 8th St. by Ronnie Fieg for Clarks. It's a clear riff on the Wallabee, but it wears more like a sneaker.

Normally making avant-garde watches well into five figures, last year MB&F's founder announced a strange project featuring a reworked Miyota movement that cost just a couple grand and was available only to existing collectors and partners. Now the brand has made a version more widely available to the general public, but it'll still be hard to get your hands on except via a lottery. It features an inverted movement visible from the top of the watch, while the time is displayed on sides of the watch case.

More than just a simple graphic tee, Disc's Tech Support shirt raises money for The Voices of Children Foundation, which is fundraising to offer assistance to children impacted by the war in Ukraine. 100 percent of the proceeds will go there.
