We wish these were the limited edition Freshest Gear Hattori, but slime green is a standard color from Saucony. The company classifies them a training tool for shorter distances once or twice a week to build foot and calf muscles. Unlike Vibram Five Fingers your toes are kept together in the Hattori like a regular shoe. Since they weight only 4.4 oz, many Hattori adopters have set some personal records for your mile and 5K times. So keep a pair in the trunk incase a co-worker challenges you to a footrace in the parking lot. Retail $80

That’s because Lefty wears custom tailored polo shirts by London clothier Q’aja Couture and pants by designer Tom Ford. He wore a variation of the one pictured above today at the Masters. Maybe they can spice up his fourth green jacket for Sunday. Go Phil! Retail $130+
