These urban editorial looks capture photos of ‘Sam’ as he explores buildings and alleyways. The photos have him wearing [winged sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/run-city) that fit the vibe of the photo shoot, as the looks are sporty but also have a high-fashion appeal to them as well.

The photos of ‘Sam’ show the male model dabble in [black fall jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knys-fall-2025), folded up over his mouth. In one photo, he sits in front of a door frame covered in graffiti. With dark hair and dark eyebrows, the model’s features really stand out within the [black and white photography shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25). The model also leans on the edges of the city, with circular glasses on, the camera angle looking up at his chiseled face.

Overall the photos of ‘Sam’ capture a great city vibe in both black and white and colored photos, using the cityscape in order to show the clothes off.
