The LYNX Black Gentleman's Guide to Auckland

Come this way and let LYNX Black and Concrete Playground take you on a gentleman's tour of Auckland.

Kyle Bell
Published on June 08, 2015

The modern man is a constantly evolving beast. Manliness isn’t just bulging muscles and lumberjack beards anymore. Nor is it just stoically bringing home the bacon. He isn’t afraid of clamping that top button, but can just as easily undo it. He can chew into a big juicy steak just as keenly as he can sip an acai berry smoothie. He knows what he wants, but is confident enough to ask for guidance when he needs it.

Today’s modern gentleman is goddamn inspiring. And we’re inspired by him. So come this way and let LYNX Black and Concrete Playground take you on a gentleman's tour of Auckland.
