DARREN TUCKER SMILES coyly when I ask him if he’s ever worn a pair of New Balance’s cult shoe, the 1906L, commonly known as the ‘snoafer’ . A combination – a lovechild is perhaps a better description – of a sneaker and a luxury loafer, the shoe stunned the footwear and fashion industries upon its release last year, lighting up social feeds and turning heads on the street.

MIDDLE AGE, YOU’D have to say, is aging rather well. If you wanted proof of that you need look no further than your Instagram feed, where you’ll see posts comparing what 50 or 60 looked like in 1980 compared to what it looks like now.

HOW WOULD YOU rate your life up to date? What grade would you give yourself? If you said a B or a B+, you’re probably going a little easy on yourself, which is okay – no one wants to admit to being a C student. But the paradox of the ‘assignment’ is that those who’ve achieved the most in life are often the hardest markers of themselves, which is perhaps why they’re so successful. So, when Trent Scanlen tells me that he once gave his life a B minus, I’m not overly surprised.
