JBL Endurance Zone
JBL’s Endurance Zone is the company’s first pair of wireless earbuds with an open-ear design, meaning that they naturally let you hear the world around you — specifically traffic or other people in the gym — as you work out. The ear-hook-style earbuds are extremely rugged, boasting an IP68 rating that allows them to withstand water and sweat; they also feature a “JBL PulseDry” function that vibrates the driver to clear out moisture after a workout. Each earbud promises up to 8 hours of battery life, with the case adding a total of 24 hours.
Kara Pod
While this countertop device looks a lot like a coffee pod machine (which it is), it’s also a lot more complicated than that. See, while it can make pod coffee, it can also make purified water. But that’s not all; it also has the ability to pull moisture from the surrounding air to fill its reservoir. That means this device can almost literally turn air into coffee. No wonder it has won so many innovation awards.
Todd Snyder x Sperry Vachetta Boat Shoe
Todd Snyder helped Sperry design a lux version of it’s iconic boat shoe. The upper is made of Vachetta leather, the 360 lace is rawhide, an extra leather midsole layer was added with a 360 Goodyear welt and the outsole is Vibram. It comes in a natural tan, designed to develop a rich patina, and all black.
Specialized S-Works Torch Remco
Developed in collaboration with world and Olympic cycling champ Remco Evenepoel, this breakthrough cycling shoe is the lightest ever at just 148.2 grams (5.23 ounces) for a size 41. Keys to the weight savings include a streamlined upper, slimmer carbon plate, nylon-injected heel counter and toe cap and single Boa Li2 Dial. Tested by Evenepoel himself during five key mountain stages of last summer’s Tour de France, the shoe is proven to reduce forefoot pressure while optimizing stiffness for seamless power transfer from leg to foot to pedal to wheels.
