Black Friday on lifestyle lifestyle accessories

59FIFTY, trucker or adjustable cap: the styles of caps

Three cap silhouettes coexist. The 59FIFTY from New Era, worn on baseball fields since 1954, is a fixed size cap with a high, structured crown and a flat visor: it is chosen according to the exact head circumference. The trucker version replaces the back of the crown with breathable mesh and is adjustable at the back. The Nike Club, finally, adopts a softer crown and an adjustable strap that fits all heads: it's the safest choice for giving a cap without knowing the recipient's head size.

Adilette, Arizona EVA, Crocs: which sliders for what use

Sliders are mainly distinguished by their sole. The adidas Adilette Comfort features the iconic three-stripe strap from the model launched in 1972 and adds a cushy foam sole, perfect for after the shower or pool. The Birkenstock Arizona EVA translates the famous two-strap sandal into lightweight, waterproof foam, maintaining the anatomical shape of the footbed. The Crocs models with a metal buckle play the style card, while sliders in the colours of the Lakers, Bulls, Heat, or Celtics cater to American basketball fans.

Caps and sliders in NBA and MLB colours

Some accessories feature the logos of major American leagues. The New York Yankees, the most successful baseball club in the MLB, have made their interlocking monogram one of the most worn logos worldwide, well beyond fans of the sport. The caps of the Knicks and Spurs represent the NBA, while that of the New England Patriots represents the NFL. A historical supplier of official caps for professional baseball, New Era faithfully reproduces colours and emblems. These pieces are worn as a nod to a trip to the United States or to a team followed from afar, rather than as sports gear.

The other good deals

Apart from Black Friday, good deals can be found in good deals, clearance, sales. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections. The highlights of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday in late autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and back-to-school.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you clean a cap without distorting it?

You scrub the stains by hand with a soft brush and a bit of lukewarm soapy water, without soaking the cap. Air drying is done with the cap placed on a bowl or ball to retain its shape.

Are sliders suitable for the shower after a match?

Yes, a foam or rubber sole avoids direct contact with the wet tiled floor of the changing rooms, which is prone to fungi. You choose a model that dries quickly and store it separately in the sac to avoid wetting your things.

What size should you choose for sliders?

You take your usual size. The heel should rest fully on the sole and the toes should never stick out at the front; between two sizes, you choose the larger one to keep a bit of room.

Can you wash foam sliders?

Yes, with lukewarm soapy water and a sponge, then rinse with clear water. Avoid the dishwasher and prolonged direct sunlight, which can deform the EVA foam or affect its colours.

Flat or curved visor cap?

The flat visor, delivered as such on the 59FIFTY, gives a streetwear style; you can however slightly curve it by hand. The curved visor, more classic, better protects the eyes from the sun on the sides.
