Por Homme – Men's Lifestyle, Fashion, Footwear and Culture Magazine

We came across this beauty of a bicycle over at Hype in Japan and it’s worth a look. The Nagasawa frame is enough to blow our minds, a rare piece these days that’s only available through custom order. The Japan-based framebuilder has been sought after by elite racers in hopes of getting a frame of uncompromised accuracy and precise handling. The Campagnolo Shamal wheels are lightweight and powerful with Zaffiro white tires making the ride a smooth one. The vintage Fujita saddle is a much-welcomed touch, making the bicycle a complete work of art.

The National Basketball Associaton is set to drop a few apps that will allow fans to watch games live on their mobile devices. NBA League Pass Mobile will be coming to the iPhone, iPod Touch and Android phones starting Friday, leaving Blackberry waiting in the wings. It won’t be cheap as the app will cost $39.99 and will let users watch up to 40 live games per week. Local blackout rules will still apply. The app also gives the option to watch some games on demand for up to two days later, plus game alerts and live stats. (via Crave)

Playboy has teamed up with Cover To Cover to bring you more than 50 classic issues of the magazine in digital format, “cover to cover”. All in High def formats with even the ads included, this definitely makes for some creative inspiration. More images after the jump. Don’t worry we’ve kept it clean, but when you head to Cover To Cover, make sure your boss isn’t looking. (via TrendLand) (more…)

It’s definitely the fine details that make all the difference, and Winn Perry proves this with their rendition of a pair of Alden Longwings. The difference is slight, with the only alteration being in the sole to combat Portland’s famously rainy climate. “Done simply in walnut brown calfskin, this shoe is about as under the radar as beautifully constructed shoes come. But if ain’t broke, don’t fix it. So we only made one very subtle change that will benefit us Portland folk immensely. The main difference made to these was in the sole. Instead of the standard double leather sole, we used an oiled version, called a ‘Double Waterloc’ that will resist the harmful effects of Portland’s wet climate. The heavily oiled sole is a stacked version of the soles used in the construction of Alden’s flex welt system. In this case however, the oil keeps water from penetrating the sole and helps to increase their lifespan dramatically on Portland’s soggy grounds.”

With the weather being as dirty as its been in NYC the last few days (yes, finally the sun today!), maybe you should grab a pair of these to be prepared for the next onslaught of showers.

From Jeffrey Campbell comes the Barker shoe, a very simple black leather oxford. Every man’s wardrobe should have a pair so why not this one? They’re super lightweight with a soft rubber sole and with a price that falls in the “that’s it?!” category, what are you waiting for, head to Alter!

Odin stores will be blessed with the Edward collection, a collaboration between the NYC shop and Duckie Brown. ACL tells us, “The capsule collection is a desirable mix of goods that would fit any modern man’s wardrobe. From the fatigue green waxed M-65 jacket to the woven shirts with their micro-collars, Edward is firing on all cylinders.” What’s more enticing are the pricetags, with none exceeding $500. Made in America, the collection is hitting Odin stores this weekend.

From Lomography comes a minaturized version of the original medium format Holga. The all-plastic lens , two shutter settings and two aperature settings are all reminiscent of the original. Hypebeast tells us its advance and shutter are uncoupled – meaning that you can shoot unlimited multiple exposures on the same frame. “Its images are dripping with color, contrast, a slight softness, and a whole lot of soul. For that classic Holga look, with the ease of 35mm film development, this guy can’t be beat.” We couldn’t agree more. The Holga is currently available at Colette.

Jeff over at Selectism has been reporting live from Tokyo, giving us a closer look at the city’s fashion culture. Aoyama eyewear shop Cradle carries “original brand” Effector, a label that’s done dozens of collaborations with more well-known brands like Lewis Leathers and Diet Butcher Slim Skin. One standout was the Macknight frame. The shape pulls heavily from some famous sunglass cuts while utilizing Japanese production techniques.
