So many derbies have popped up in previous Shopper newsletters that it’s time to address them head on. As one of the oldest men's footwear models, derbies have never not been around, let me be clear. But much like the penny loafer before it, the derby is also undergoing a cultural reintroduction and claiming space on the shoe racks of younger fans.

And if you're in Europe, check out Acne Studios' 48h archive sale for up to 75% off.

For their fourth joint outing, Merrell x Snow Peak merged one's propensity for gorpy trail run tech and the other's characteristically Japanese minimalism.

adidas x Brain Dead didn't create fashionably climbing-inspired kicks, but climbing kicks that happen to be fashionable, too. (Oh, and also, save 30% at adidas, with the code COZY!)

Vans x Pringle of Scotland's wooly, graphic get-together is one I didn't think I needed but am happy to receive. (PS: Select Vans are rebated by an extra 30%.)

The tennis-themed Fila x Highnobiety collection could (or should) elicit those same emotions!

The only thing better than an OG Timberland boot is this darkened, Snoopy-fied version.

Not Woodstock exactly, but certainly another funny bird is this Maison Mihara Yasuhiro duck bag. Do with this rec what you will.

Few pieces will come as in-handy this winter as Uniqlo:C's chic and versatile cashmere-blend heat tech turtlenecks.

Icebreaker's merino-blend fleece cardigan is likely due similar feedback, for its fuzzy yet dapper guise.*

… as is Merz b. Schwanen's chunky merino-cashmere one, for all the same reasons.

These sunshine-hued Octobre Éditions corduroys are a peace offering to having previously underappreciated the material before. No more!

Tracksmith's matchy yellow-striped long-sleeve looks like a regular ol’ long-sleeve. It's technically a wool-blend running long-sleeve though.

If you think down puffers are unimaginative, Stone Island's new Ice Knit model could maybe sway you toward feeling differently.

Am I losing my mind or is the calfskin in this Comoli jacket really so supple I want to… bite it? You know you want to, too.
