Moxsie Men's Forecast for 2010

Jan 30, 2010

Men's Fashion Week wrapped up a couple of weeks ago, and in the meantime we've finally gotten a chance to catch up on the top men's style bloggers. (Steady blog reading takes work, people!) With our powers combined, we present: Moxsie's Men's Forecast for 2010! (You can always revisit our take on Women's style for 2010 here.)

WORKING HARD, HARDLY WORKINGWhile it's key that you have the basics - well-fitted shirt, slacks, and jacket - we're going to see men's style shift more toward looser, business casual. Leisure moves in on otherwise formal territory with basic colors but more ready-to-wear pieces.

WELL EQUIPPED | Accessories are often overlooked when it comes to men's style editorial, but maybe that's because they make the mistake of thinking you already have the key essentials. Another misconception is that in order to be a well-dressed man, you have to focus on the clothes. Not true. It's just as much about what fills your pockets and how you carry your goods as it is about how your threads hang on your body.

POLISHED STREET  | There are many variations to the concept of polished street style, but what it comes down to is the details in your wares. A polished, street style-savvy man is not averse to surprise embellishments, but he is mindful that they be subtle deviations from the norm.

Strong Footwork

Jan 7, 2010

The Vael Project Deckards we've featured on the Browse page are just the tip of the iceberg for the selection in our Sneaker Shop. Some of our most iconic designs are below:

Vael Project TerminatrixVael Project Terminatrix - Black

Probably the most difficult to photograph, but only because its subtle convertibility is difficult to capture in a single frame. If you're in an area prone to snow or you just want some versatility with your shoe, zip up to cover the tongue and protect your laces. The Terminatrix lives up to its name with its tough industrial detailing.

Heyday Super Deb - CremeHeyday Super Deb - Creme

The skeletal straps on the Super Deb are what makes this shoe, and the off-white color makes them reminiscent of bones. Heyday designer Darin Hager has done consistently out-of-the-box work with his own brand. These are more than just collectors' shoes. These are designer shoes.

Greedy Genius Cool Breeze - BlackGreedy Genius Cool Breeze - Blackbird

Greedy Genius' contrasting use of Napa leather and mesh paneling actually creates a great street shoe that's stylized enough to go to the bar. It's not too polished, not too casual, and though the black is sleek, could be dressed down to come off as a subtle design.

Mimoco, Deux Lux, Heyday - Back in stock!

Dec 18, 2009

...And just in time for the holidays! We struck a couple deals with some elves to make sure Moxsie's hottest gifts would come back in stock for the holidays. Lo and behold, new shipments of Mimoco, Deux Lux, and Heyday, just ready for the giving:

MIMOCO in every flavor! Including Darth Maul and Hello Kitty:

Even some of us in the office have been asking the delivery trucks if anything has arrived from Deux Lux. Hands-down this season's most coveted (and hence repeatedly sold out) bag is the Deux Lux King Messenger.

The latest release from Heyday has even more eye-catching contrasts than before. Consider yourself golden in the eyes of your circle's sneaker head if you hand them the new Super Shift Premiums in Emerald Python.

Make more time for family, friends, fun, and food, and get the gift hunting out of the way!

Moxsie's got The Hundreds!

Nov 6, 2009

The Hundreds Johnson MidMoxsie is super stoked about our newest addition, The Hundreds! Sneaker heads can recognize that mischievous-looking Adam Bomb from across any street. It's a more than fitting image, really. In just six short years, ex-law school students Ben and Bobby Hundreds crafted a brand that's blown up in skate and hip-hop culture throughout the world. The group behind the Hundreds has iconic design down pat, and it's all thanks to their groundedness in company values: "our trademark attitude and personal perspective on street subculture." We expected nothing less from two brothers with a surname like "Hundreds."

Plus, how can you not like a bunch of designer guys who devote entire blog posts - and entire T-shirt lines - to the company hounds? Sounds like a company we know...

We've got three of the Hundreds' most necessary colorways in our Sneaker Shop: a versatile olive, eye-catching turquoise, and suave purple suede. Click through to see the options.

Is everybody in? Keep is about to begin.

Nov 1, 2009

Keep's kitten pictured with the Benten Houndstooth and Red CheckWhat would happen if Wavy Gravy rolled a wheelbarrow full of laced granola bars into a crowded skate park? We’ll tell you – Keep Footwear would happen. Moxsie has decided that somewhere on the side of the road between Haight Street and Ocean Beach there must be Camp Keep. (They are actually headquartered in LA, but you wouldn't have guessed that) Imagine orchards overpopulated with clowns and pets and pairs of Keep shoes hanging from the trees. The music playing through a Woodstock-style PA is anything from the 60’s and 70’s. The only modern era group on the Keep play list is probably Phish. Yes, this colony is fueled by tunes, veggies and microbrew. Every night the Keep staff probably takes a “Simpsons” break at 7 pm.
