It was a Monday morning in late March. Normally, LeBron James would have been in homeroom at St. Vincent, dressed in school clothes, with a backpack containing books strapped over his shoulders. Instead, he was in a locker room at a rec center in the suburbs of Cleveland, putting on his work clothes. Moments later he stepped onto the court for a practice session one day prior to the McDonald's All-American high school basketball game. At eighteen, he could already jump higher than every player in the NBA. When the other high school all-Americans began trickling onto the court, the contrast between LeBron and them was stark. At the end of April, LeBron stood at a podium in the St. V gymnasium and declared that he was forgoing college and entering the NBA Draft. Thought AIR was wild? Try a three-way battle between Reebok, Nike, and Adidas for the King's first sneaker. |

The secret to having a leading man's wardrobe this summer isn't a buzzy stylist or an "it" piece with a months-long waitlist: Instead, it all boils down to Percival's knit polo. While the British brand might not be a household name on this side of the pond (well, not yet), the label's knack for subtly twisting wardrobe staples has garnered a growing fanbase. And in its faultlessly executed polos, a hero piece has emerged that counts a star-studded fanbase in Kit Harington, Chris Evans, Michael B. Jordan, and the Rock. Available in button-up and buttonless variations, Percival's best-selling knit polos measure up to the hype. |

Experiential travel has been a buzzword for quite some time. The cynic in me always thought of it as redundant. To travel is to experience, no? But the more I travel, the more I realize that's not always the case. Sometimes we're just trying to get from point A to point B. It takes commitment to notice the world around you, to be open to the new. And the very best hotels have a way of putting you in that mode. For this second edition of our Best New Hotels list, we traveled throughout North America and Europe to find places offering more than high thread counts and hot tubs. These are the spots that changed us in big and small ways. We hope you get to take some inspiration home from them, too. |
