Vancouver-based boutiqueHAVENhas tapped Japanese footwear manufacturerREGAL Shoe & Co. to reimagine its Tyrolean moc-toe model with functional design updates for all-weather use and long-term wear. Offered in smooth Black and Clay leather, the shoe is as durable as it is elegant, with a GORE-TEX finish, Vibram MegaGrip outsoles, and a Goodyear welt construction. Manufactured in REGAL Shoe & Co.'s flagship factory in Kashiwa, Chiba, the uppers combine smooth, shrink, and suede leathers for a dimensionality and character, emphasizing different components. While smooth leather dominates the bulk of the body, suede is applied to the collar, where a small GORE-TEX tag is attached, and textured shrink leather is applied to the heel counter. Finally, the leather mudguard offers additional structure and weather protection The streamlined silhouette is contrasted with lugged Vibram soles, adding height to the model while offering reliable grip and traction. REGAL Shoe & Co., which introduced the Goodyear welt construction to Japan, incorporates the process into the Tyrolean soles so it can be continuously resoled in the future. Unlike glued methods, the Goodyear welt construction protects the integrity of the shoe as adjustments are made.

Here are the closest finishes in Indy 500 history
Here are the closest finishes in Indy 500 history The closest finishes in Indianapolis 500 history brought a lifetime of joy for Al Unser Jr., Ryan Hunter-Reay, Sam Hornish Jr., Juan Pablo Montoya, Gordon Johncock and Josef Newgarden. The memories are not so sweet for Scott Goodyear, four-time winner Helio Castroneves, Marco Andretti, Will Power, Rick Mears and Marcus Ericsson. Here's how those thrilling races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway unfolded, with coverage from IndyStar's archives: Al Unser Jr. beats Scott Goodyear by 0.043 seconds in 1992 How it played out: Michael Andretti appeared to have the race in hand until his engine failed on Lap 189, forcing a caution flag. The race resumed on Lap 194, with Unser leading and Goodyear trailing closely. Coming off the final turn of the race, Goodyear sized up Unser and made a move to the inside, but couldn't get by before the finish line. But if the race had been 500 miles and 100 yards? "I almost took it a little too easy coming off of (Turn) 4 and Scott got a run on me," Unser said. "If the race would have been 100 yards longer, he would have probably won it." "I just didn't have enough to get past him," Goodyear said. "I knew it was going to be very, very close. I just wish the start-finish line had been another hundred yards down the straight." What the winner said: "You just don't know what this means," said Unser, who battled Emerson Fittipaldi for the lead late in the 1989 race before crashing out. "This is my life and it's everything I thought it would be." Almost worst to first: Goodyear had not initially qualified for the race, but Derrick Walker's team put him in the car qualified by Mike Groff, leaving Goodyear at the rear of the 33-car field at the start. He left the Speedway proud and profoundly disappointed. "I was flat out," he said. "There wasn't anything left. Today was the race of my life. I just hope the momentum carries on." 109th running: Indy 500 start time, 2025 race day schedule, TV channel, stream, radio Ryan Hunter-Reay beats Helio Castroneves by 0.060 seconds in 2014 How it happened: Hunter-Reay led coming out of a Lap 194 restart, but Castroneves — seeking a record-tying fourth Indy 500 win — got by him on Lap 196. Hunter-Reay retook the lead one lap later in Turn 3. "I thought I didn't leave him room," Castroneves said. "But he found room." Castroneves acknowledged he and Hunter-Reay straddled a line between "stupid and bravery" late in the race. American pride: Hunter-Reay's victory snapped a seven-year winning streak by international drivers. "I'm a proud American boy," he said. "This was the granddaddy of them all," he added. "This is where history is made. To even have a shot at it, to just come down pit lane giving these guys five that I looked up to when I was a kid — I looked up to the Andrettis, I looked up to Foyt, the Unsers, the Mears — it was always (about) trying to get there." Well, yeah: "Second place sucks," Castroneves said. "I tried, man, trust me. I really tried. You can't question destiny." Sam Hornish Jr. beats Marco Andretti by 0.063 seconds in 2006 How it played out: Hornish tried to get around Andretti in Turn 3 on Lap 199, but he couldn't complete the pass. "I kind of thought I blew it," Hornish said. "I had a good run on him, got to the inside ... and sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. "(But) I figured I came all this way, I ought to give myself one more shot at it. I kind of looked at it as, I was going to drive over him if I had to." Hornish didn't have to do that. He slipped by Andretti just before the finish line. "I think I could have moved to the inside, but at that time he would have already made his move," Andretti said. "It would have been a big (crash)." Hornish's reaction: "Thank goodness it's 500 (miles) instead of 497½." Andretti's reaction: "They don't remember people who finish second here." Andretti, 19 at the time, joined the family legacy of just missing Indy 500 glory. Though his grandfather, Mario Andretti, won in 1969, both Mario and Michael Andretti — Marco's father — have been in position to win the race only to be struck by bad fortune. Marco has also finished third in the Indy 500 on three occasions. Michael Andretti finished second in 1991 and his engine failed with a late lead in 1992. Mario Andretti finished second to Bobby Unser in a disputed result in 1981, and his ignition failed in 1987 as he held a huge lead with 20 laps to go. Josef Newgarden beats Marcus Ericsson by 0.0974 seconds in 2023 How it happened: The race comes down to a one-lap shootout after three red flags in the final 15 laps. Marcus Ericsson leads at the restart, but Newgarden overtakes him on the back straightaway and holds him off with a move called the "Dragon," driving serpentine down the final straightaway, which Ericsson had used to win in 2022. Relief for the winner: Newgarden gets his first win in 12 tries. 'Everyone has been asking me why I hadn't won this race, and they look at you like you're a failure when you haven't. I'm so glad to be here. It's just pure emotion.' Runner-up doesn't like the shootout: 'I don't think that was a fair way to end the race,' Ericsson said once, twice, every time anyone asked the runner-up for his thoughts on the race. 'I don't think it's safe to go out of the pits on cold tires.' Results in a rule change: After two straight years of drivers using the "Dragon" down the final straightaway to hold off challenges, IndyCar officials made the move illegal. Juan Pablo Montoya beats Will Power by 0.1046 seconds in 2015 How it played out: Montoya and Power, teammates on Roger Penske's team, jockeyed for the lead out of a late restart. Montoya got around Power on Lap 197 and maintained a slim edge the rest of the way. There were 37 leads changes, the second-most in race history (68 in 2013), so Power thought he had a chance to overtake Montoya late. "Oh, absolutely," he said. "I had him. I just needed more room. Just a little more room." Montoya wouldn't let it happen. "You're older, you're wiser, you understand where the races are won, where they're lost," Montoya said. Greater appreciation: Montoya won the Indy 500 as a brash 24-year-old rookie in 2000 and he figured there would be plenty of time for more. His career veered in different directions, including NASCAR and Formula 1, for more than a decade. So this win felt different. "(This) is the proper experience of the month," he said. "When you go through everything, you start to understand what it means to win here." A common sentiment: "Anywhere else, I'd be happy with second," Power said, "but here? It sucks." Power got rid of that sour taste by winning the 2018 Indy 500. Gordon Johncock beats Rick Mears by 0.160 seconds in 1982 How it happened: Johncock appeared to have the race in hand, but Mears charged, pulling alongside the leader as they crossed the Yard of Bricks with one lap remaining. Johncock held off Mears heading into Turn 1 and maintained a slim edge the last trip around the 2½-mile oval. "When he came up next to me as we took the white flag, I thought that might be it," said Johncock, who also won the race in 1973. "I figured we would probably go into the first turn side-by-side because I sure was hell wasn't going to back off." Mears desperately wanted that edge late. "I had trouble with the turbulence running behind him," he said, "but if I'd have ever gotten out ahead, I think I would have run away." A true winning experience: "There will never be a thrill like this today because of the way it ended," Johncock said. "Last time we were sitting in pit lane when they decided to call the race. It seemed like it was nothing at all." The 1973 race was called after 133 laps by rain. Always unfazed: Mears, who earned his first of four Indy 500 wins in 1979, was never one to show a lot of emotion. "I've got nothing to complain about," he said. "That's why we're out there — to put on a good race for the folks who buy tickets."

Murder of Irish-American woman shocks wealthy Brussels suburb
The killing initially looked like a burglary gone wrong. Carmel Delaney, an Irish-American woman in her early 60s, had been stabbed to death in her home, in a wealthy Brussels neighbourhood popular with diplomats and business executives. The suspected murder – and the details that would later emerge – have gripped the Belgian public for weeks. Ms Delaney was born in New York, but her mother was originally from Ballyclerihan, Co Tipperary and her father from Dublin, so growing up she spent many childhood summers back visiting Ireland. A mother of four adult children, with two young grandchildren, Ms Delaney was someone who made friends easily. READ MORE There were hiking and travel companions, and tennis and bridge playing partners, in Brussels and the many other cities she had lived in throughout her life. 'She was so social,' an Irish relative of Ms Delaney said. Her husband, Chris Delaney, was a senior executive at US tire giant Goodyear, overseeing its business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, from Brussels, where the couple had lived for the last seven years. At a little past 8pm on March 17th, St Patrick's Day, Belgian police received an emergency call. Mr Delaney had opened the door of their apartment in the leafy Brussels suburb of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, to find his wife dead inside the home. An autopsy later revealed she had been stabbed about four times in the neck and chest, with some type of sharp object. Police investigating the crime scene suspected a possible burglary gone wrong. 'The victim's husband had discovered her body in their home and found that three luxury watches had been stolen,' the Brussels public prosecutor said in a statement. However, there was no obvious signs of someone forcing their way into the apartment. Then three weeks later came an arrest. A female colleague of Mr Delaney was taken in for questioning. The next day she was charged with murder. In a statement, the prosecutor confirmed a suspect who worked with Mr Delaney had been charged with murder and possession of a weapon. One line of investigation Belgian police had pursued was the possibility Mr Delaney and his coworker were involved in a romantic relationship, according to reports in local media. The prosecutor said they could not disclose further details. Some early hearings in the criminal case took place in front of a French-speaking judge, but it has since been transferred to a Flemish judge. A lawyer representing the accused did not respond to requests for comment. In the upmarket suburb where the Delaney couple lived, the killing has shocked locals. 'The whole area is one of the best in Brussels,' said a retired EU official who lives nearby. 'You would compare it with Blackrock in Dublin.' The street in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, Brussels, where Carmel Delaney and her husband lived. Photo: Jack Power 'We say in French, it's something that can happen anywhere in the world', he said of Ms Delaney's killing. The area is popular with wealthy diplomats and officials who work in the nearby European Union institutions. Luxembourg's ambassador to the EU lives across the road from the Delaney's home, and the embassy of Kosovo is only a few buildings down from their apartment block. A team of four gardeners from a private firm were tending to rows of well-kept hedges that run along both sides of the whole street on Thursday afternoon. It's the sort of place you might expect to see a Porsche drive by – and, while The Irish Times was there, two did so within 20 minutes of each other. The owner of a small local business said she only learned of the tragedy when journalists from the Belgian media began to descend on the leafy street. Another woman on her way to work said Woluwe-Saint-Pierre was a very quiet area. 'It's not that kind of neighbourhood where you would expect ...' she said, before trailing off and stopping. Ms Delaney and her husband had been due to retire to the United States and return to New York, after careers that had seen them both work across the world. She grew up in Horseheads, a small village in upstate New York, before moving to Bardonia, which is closer to the city. Those who knew her said she had fond memories of summer trips back to Ireland as a child. Her parents had met on a blind date. Her mother, Maureen O'Dwyer, was the second eldest of 11 siblings, in a family that had a farm and stables in Ballyclerihan, keeping and breeding racehorses. Her father, Jim Gallagher, was from Dublin. After graduating from Cornell University in 1985, Ms Delaney got a job with consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble (P&G), where she worked for 15 years, across the US, Saudi Arabia, Poland and Ukraine. It was in P&G that she met Mr Delaney. The couple later moved to Sydney, Australia, where they lived for several years. Around that time Ms Delaney set up her own company, International Education Resources, which provided assistance to international students applying to study in the US. They had a holiday home in the Catskills, a mountainous part of New York state, where they spent summers hiking and winters skiing. 'They were a force,' one person who knew the couple said. Then in 2017 the pair moved to Brussels, as Mr Delaney was promoted to run Goodyear tyre and rubber company's Europe, Middle East and Africa office. The company has spent recent weeks firefighting the fallout of media coverage of Ms Delaney's killing, which often prominently mentions Goodyear. It is understood a team of 'crisis communications' consultants have been drafted in to help the firm. Mr Delaney is no longer employed by the US company and has since retired. During her time in the Belgian capital Ms Delaney became heavily involved in a women's social club, organising hikes and running its website. There she was known for her 'unwavering positivity', the Brussels Women's Club committee said in a message of condolence posted online after her death. 'Her life motto, 'bloom where you are planted,' embodied her ability to adapt, grow and thrive wherever life took her,' the group wrote. She made an effort to travel to Ireland at least once a year most of her adult life, one of her Irish relatives said. 'Carmel was a wonderful girl ... We loved her'.
