Veja Rio Branco II Mesh Sneakers. My trusty New Balance 574s finally gave out after years of faithful service, so I pulled the trigger on these retro-styled running shoes. I’d been eyeing them for awhile. I’m a fan of that classic 80s silhouette that works equally well with jeans or chinos. They’re not cheap, but […]This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

Men Don’t Dress Like Boys

The Art of Manliness ·

2025/08/04

I’ve noticed something you’ve probably noticed too. Grown men dressing like boys. In a typical American restaurant, you’ll find 30- and 40-something men dressed like their pre-teen or teenage sons: Air Jordans, a graphic tee, and an oversized flat-brimmed ballcap. The puerility of men’s clothing is on full display at an American airport. You’ll see […] This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

Note: The following is an excerpt from Orison Swett Marden’s Be Good to Yourself, published in 1910. Whereas ceaseless striving is often framed through an antiseptic neurochemical lens — as merely a fruitless, desultory, dopamine-driven chase —or as an ethically questionable, if not outright malevolent, thirst for money and power, Marden’s framing of ambition is […] This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

TypingClub. I learned to touch type back in high school. While I’ve maintained decent skills over the years, I recently noticed my typing getting a little sloppy. There’s been a bit more backspacing and hunt-and-pecking than I’d like to admit.

2025/07/21

Weighted blankets hit the mainstream nearly a decade ago when the Gravity Blanket launched its Kickstarter campaign. Usually weighing from 10-25 pounds, the pressure from these blankets is supposed to reduce anxiety and help you sleep better. It’s like being in the womb! Like getting a hug!
