LACOSTE L!VE x TETSUWAN ATOMU Polo Shirt (Limited Edition)

If you only think of gators when talking about Lacoste polos, think again. Lacoste L!VE, the brand’s younger line, has created a fantastic capsule collection of polos and tees featuring characters from the manga of the great Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989). Our favourite without a doubt is the simple polo with Testuwan Atomu (‘Mighty Atom’ or, literally, ‘Iron Arm Atom’) on the left chest. Get it before it’s gone!
(RRP €140 / £90)

Tetsuwan Atomu / Astro Boy tells the adventures of a robotic boy, created by a scientist to deal with the loss of his son. After realising he doesn’t really like the robot, the scientist sells him to a nasty circus master called Ham Egg, before it was rescued by a Dr. Ochanomizu. The story’s extraordinary longevity and appeal across cultures make it one of the most important manga comics ever created.

COLE HAAN (USA) Wedge Pump

Where sensible meets stylish and creates a match made in heaven! Part wedge, part sneaker, this Cole Haan shoe is designed not only to keep your look polished, but also—thanks to the fine smooth leather upper and Nike Air technology—your comfort level high.
The heel is just the right height (especially if you do a lot of walking), and the shoe offers a good degree of arch support, too (which is somewhat unusual for a shoe without a strap or a tie).
