Veja Press Highlights
Veja are a French footwear brand and last week they invited us down to their press day to meet some like-minded people, share a beer and snap some pics. So here are a few visual treats from my nights ‘work’.

OTZ-1 by OTeZI3300
Firstly the title is not some error in code, it is actually the name of this weeks product. Anayway onto the post.
Now I have a little problem. A problem that affects many men out there. My ankles are as big as a Twiglet; come to think about it they actually look like a Twiglet, so when it comes to sandals, I momentarily hesitate. But after one look at this sneaker/sandal concoction, all that doubt and uncertainty flew straight out the window.
This suede sneaker from OTeZI3300 is sure to get people asking the question: ‘Just what they hell are they?’ This style is known as the OTZ-1. It has an internal stretch sock membrane that contours the foot for maximum comfort, warmth and breathability while its anti-microbial cork footbed is anatomically designed to promote a healthy posture.
It comes in a variety of colours but we feel that the sand-colourway provides most value for the average chaps wardrobe. The Velcro toe-strap is a design feature that really drew us in, plus the minimal branding is something that appealed to us even more. Subtle and stylish- just how we like it.
Now onto the look……

We introduce…Sports Casual
There are certain things that will stand the test of time, things that are universally understandable and accepted. And in the fashion/style game, it is terms such as Casual, Smart Casual and Sportswear etc.
To start off , we are introducing the ‘Sports Casual’ dress code. It’s a mix of sportswear and casual clothes and some would argue that it’s simply ‘Smart Casual’, but with such focus on the statement sports pieces (in this case the Nike trainers), the word ‘sports’ needed exclusive love.
With this shoot we style up some looks with some classic Nike sneaker styles, showing you a variety of ways in which you can sport them (no pun intended). So gain some Sports Casual inspiration, throw away your tracksuits bottoms and just do it (again, no pun intended).

Apolis Activism Navy Cotton Cashmere Pullover
We don’t really do sportswear here at Individualism and to be honest, we’re not too sure why. Maybe it’s because it’s hardly the most elegant category in menswear or maybe it’s because wearing a hoody in East London doesn’t hold the most positive connotations. But like Will Smith’s lyrical masterpiece, we thought we’d switch it up.
This week’s ‘P.O.T.W’ comes from US brand Apolis Activism. The brand are famous for their red stitched cross which means: ’The sign of relief and an icon for all global citizens committed to quality and change. Apolis Activism applies contemporary design, premium fabrics, and an opportunity to share the value of Trade.’
Their ideals are certainly apparent in this modish navy hooded pullover. Boasting a French twill contrast placket and pocket trim as well as natural Caruso buttons carved from Tagua Nuts (I know it sounds like some sort of India Jones relic), this piece is ticks all the right boxes.
- Comfortable
- Understated
- Stylish
- Masculine
Check out context now for a close look now.
As always,
Stay Stylish
