Top 10 items of the month

Rounding up February's best moments!

Arguably the worst month of the year is behind us. It did however bring a bunch of cool garments that I was excited about, which made things a little bit sweeter. February was also a great month for some refreshing topics on the newsletter, I’ll have those listed below in case you missed them. Next month I’m flying out to Japan so expect more exclusive content as I deep dive into the world of shopping and gear.

Until then, make sure you subscribe to not miss out any future articles, if you’re a paid subscriber, don’t forget to take advantage of the exclusive perks like The SNL Store List and City Shopping Guides—noticed that some new paid subscribers didn’t realize they’ve unlocked these perks, so just wanted to do a quick reminder—as well as join the SNL chat via the Substack app to get access to a great community of people who are constantly helping each other through recommendations and other fashion related discussion—it’s been incredibly active and continues to grow, so thank you to everyone who’s been posting!

Before we dive into this month’s round-up, below are some of my favorite topics we covered this month:

How to develop your sense of style

Recent pickups I'm excited about

---

KIKO KOSTADINOV + ASICS GEL TRAINER 14

The GEL-Trainer 14 is another great example of how Kiko can do no wrong. Really excited about this model and can’t wait to see the future colorways.

---

ADIDAS FOOTBALL KNIT

Not entirely sure if that’s the correct name for this garment, but let’s just go with that. Another China exclusive unfortunately, but I’m sure we might be seeing something like this in North America soon.

---

SACAI LEATHER JACKET

Absolutely sensational. Something you’ll own forever. No notes. 10/10

---

ADIDAS STAN SMITH FREIZEIT

A very simple addition of a combat sole to a classic upper takes this to a whole new level. It’s giving just slightly upscale while still keeping that casual feeling we all know and love from the Stan Smith. Suede upper was also a solid choice here.

---

YMC + GRENSON OXFORD SHOE

An absolute banger that sold out pretty quickly unfortunately. Need that restock asap!

---

THISISNEVERTHAT FW25

This one isn’t out yet which gives us some time to prepare to cop when it drops later this year, but I am hyped on this one. Stay tuned and I’ll make sure to keep you updated when I know more info.

---

PALACE COBRA JACKET

Part of their Spring 2025 collection, which had a bunch of great stuff honestly. These jackets have already dropped, with the camo one being sold out, but some additional colors are still left on their site here.

---

NONNATIVE + TIMBERLAND 6-INCH BOOT

Nonnative collaborations are always simple and that’s why I love them. Hairy suede detailing on a classic 6-inch boot with full GORE-TEX. Classic, straight to the point.

---

SUPREME LEATHER UTILITY JACKET

Maybe my favorite item from the recent SS25 collection—the versatility in the way you can rock this piece is going to give this so much life. And no, you don’t have to worry about a massive Supreme logo on the back. This one has very minimal branding on the front that you can’t even seen.

---

THIS ONE RANDOM GUY ON REDNOTE MAKES SICK BAGS

I randomly found this guy in China making custom bags out of clothing and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I can’t seem to find him on Instagram, but if you have Rednote then his link to his profile is here.
