Step Boldly in NN.07 x Fracap’s Limited M120 Boots

At Style Uncut we’re in love with both NN.07 and Fracap so we were super excited to find out about their latest collab. Introducing the M120 Mountain Sprezzatura boots, a limited-edition release combining Fracap’s century-old craftsmanship with NN.07’s modern edge.

Hand-sewn in Puglia by the Capelli brothers, these boots are as much a tribute to Italian shoemaking tradition as they are a bold statement for today. The pony hair leather upper gives each pair a unique finish added to the signature NN.07 cobalt blue woven tab and logo-embossed insoles.

Equipped with durable Vibram® Commando soles, the M120 boots are as functional as they are fashionable, ready to take on city streets or alpine trails.

Following their first sold-out collab, this drop is poised to fly off shelves. Available exclusively at NN07.com, their Lafayette St store, and Brooklyn’s Cueva Store, the M120 boots are here—but not for long. If you want a piece of modern sprezzatura, don’t wait.

What Does a $640,000 Gem-Set Rolex Tell Us About Watches Right Now?

GQ went to a Swiss auction and revealed its rarified secrets:

As far as table-setting events go in the watch industry, few hold more weight and importance than the Geneva auction season. If Watches and Wonders sets the tone for modern pieces, the big sales at houses like Christie’s, Phillips, Sotheby’s, and Antiquorum help crystallize what is happening in the vintage world. As Sacha Davidoff, one half of the beloved Geneva-based vintage watch shop Roy & Sacha Davidoff, once told me that, compared to Watches and Wonders, “The Geneva auctions are much, much, much, much, much, much, much bigger because there's vintage being sold. We probably do 10 to 20, maybe even 30 times more business.” Earlier this week, the watch world convened in Geneva for this fall’s big auctions.
