This Elevated Swiss Army Knife Is Unlike Any I’ve Seen Before

This SAK also sports a bevy of other stainless steel tools. Victorinox clocks the collection at 12 functions, including an awl, corkscrew, bottle opener, spring-loaded scissors and more.

As is the case with all Companion SAKs, that makes for an incredibly versatile, excellent all-around everyday carry multi-tool. Yet, even considering that Damasteel blade and its array of tools, it’s another element entirely that makes this knife special.

Counter point

So, if it isn’t the blade and tools that set this SAK apart, what remains? The scales!

This special-edition take on the Companion is affixed with scales made from a material called Corian. Traditionally, this material is used in interior design, often employed to craft countertops and other surfaces.

This Is the Best MoonSwatch Ever. It’s Not Even Close

Next, we have the return of the earthphase indicator at 10:00, making this reference the second watch in the world to boast this feature. Situated right below the earthpase window on the dial is, you guessed it, our old pal Snoopy. Donning a space helmet and seated alongside his friend Woodstock, the pair are observing the Earth from the surface of the moon.

Over at 2:00 is the moonphase display, which shows the moon in both the northern and southern hemispheres as on all Moonswatch models featuring the complication.

The moons of the moonphase are coated with Omega’s Moonshine Gold.
Swatch

One of the moons appears cartoonish and features Snoopy’s footprint, while the other is more realistic and is ensnared in a fishing net as a nod to August’s full moon, the “Sturgeon Moon,” which is the sole date this watch will be available to purchase. Honestly, the net is the one feature on this watch I don’t love — the watch has enough going on without it, and it doesn’t feel cohesive with the rest of the design.

Swatch has coated the moons with a dusting of Moonshine Gold, Omega’s proprietary yellow gold alloy. Yes, this MoonSwatch contains actual gold. Previous Moonshine Gold editions of the MoonSwatch have exclusively featured the alloy on the chronograph seconds hand, so it’s nice to see a unique application here.

Look closely and you’ll notice another hint of Omega-borrowed luxury on the dial: an aventurine-inspired pattern on all of the hands, subdials and minute track. The starry sky motif has been used by Omega on various Speedmaster Moonphase models, and it really fits the space theme of this particular MoonSwatch.

Patagonia Pares Its Legendary Black Hole Into the Perfect Compact Carry-On Pack

It still has enough room to fit a weekend’s worth of clothes and gear, but it’s compact enough to allow you to avoid the overhead bin entirely. That’s big news for a trio of reasons.

First, it means you could potentially avoid the scramble for overhead space (and the scramble to get off the plane while snagging your bag from above people) altogether. Second, it means the bag is small enough to qualify as a “personal item,” allowing you a second carry-on for overhead storage.

Lastly, this bag is an ideal candidate to function as an auxiliary day pack while traveling. You can use a checked bag for your primary gear, an overhead carry-on for additional storage, and this bag for snacks, books, headphones and other travel accessories.

Back in black (hole)

While its compact form factor makes this bag unique, it’s also still a Black Hole bag, which comes with some big expectations. Thankfully, this bag meets (and exceeds) those promises.

Like its siblings, it’s made with a tough blend of recycled materials and sports a weatherproof TPU-film laminate. Inside, along with its generous capacity, it has a padded laptop pouch and numerous internal organizational pockets for clothes, accessories and more.

Is the Best Classic Leather Weekender Bag Made by a Boot Brand?

Tecovas Bartlett Large Weekender

One of the best classic leather weekender bags comes from a boot company. The Bartlett Large Weekender from Tecvoas looks more luxurious than ever in the new Midnight Green, while still costing well under $1,000. It is fully lined with 10-ounce duck canvas and uses solid brass hardware, including a two-way zipper. There are two exterior slip pockets and a removable leather shoulder strap. Tecovas also offers a matching leather Midnight Green dopp kit.

Civivi GuileCivivi

Civivi Guile

Few brands do affordable workhorse folders quite like Civivi. The brand is back at it again with the Guile, a slender, discreet, hard-working, dual-deployment EDC knife designed by actor Shawn Ashmore (Iceman in Fox’s X-Men movies). This discreet flipper is ideal for pocket carry with its lightweight, ergonomic G10 handle and versatile 14C28N wharncliffe blade. And even though it won’t empty your bank account, you can still expect to rely on it for years.

Lego Bugatti Centodieci

Lego and Bugatti have partnered for a Speed Champions building set based on the Centodieci hypercar. Even with just 291 pieces in total, the kit recreates several iconic design elements, such as the sets of five circular air intakes located on each side of the car, the Bugatti horseshoe grille, the angled headlights and the quad exhaust. Bugatti built just 10 full-size Centodiecis, but this Lego is far more accessible at $26.99.

Titaner Modular Titanium Cooking SystemTitaner

Titaner Modular Titanium Cooking System

The mad engineers over at Titaner keep finding innovative new uses for titanium. Building on the success of the surprise hit Oven Tray, their latest Kickstarter project consists of four titanium trays designed to go straight from the oven to the table. Nesting into each other for easy storage, the trays are lightweight, coating-free, rust-proof, heat-resistant and dishwasher safe. What’s really compelling is the efficiency: you lose no time, texture or flavor transferring foods from baking trays to cold ceramic plates and you cut down on the number of dirty dishes to deal with when the meal is done.

Vans Does Its Best On Roger Impression with a Surprising Spin on a ’90s Sneaker

Over the last few years, tennis has seen a bit of a resurgence.

There are a number of reasons this could be the case, including (but not limited to) its accessibility during the pandemic (it’s easy to keep your distance on the tennis court), the emergence of tennis-related media (Challengers comes to mind), the sport’s popularity on TikTok and more.

Whatever the case, it’s already trickled pretty heavily into the fashion world, led by releases such as On Running’s Roger (as in Federer) sneaker.

Now, an iconic Southern California skate and surf lifestyle brand is getting in on the trend. Vans has teamed up with Japanese tennis brand Setinn on a court-ready capsule collection.

This Vans x Setinn release sees the reemergence of a surprising ’90s sneaker.
Setinn

Courtside kicks

The headline act of the Vans x Setinn Capsule Collection is a pair of sneakers. More specifically, this collection sees the resurgence of the Vans Speel LS, a surprising, largely forgotten silhouette from the ’90s.

While it’s perhaps an odd, dark-horse revival, bringing back this shoe in this manner works surprisingly well. For the most part, the silhouette has been maintained, although it’s been given a more minimalist aesthetic.

Nike’s New Flagship Gym Shoe Finally Includes One Clever Hidden Upgrade

As a result, the shoe’s core changes include a more responsive ReactX foam midsole, a minimized, updated Hyperlift plate, and firmer foam in the heel. According to Nike’s official release, these changes make the Metcon 10 lighter and less stiff than previous generations.

A Nike Metcon 10 is stacked on top of a Nike Metcon 9, shown in profile, to compare the differences in design.
The new Metcon 10 (shown above in blue) has a noticeably cleaner external silhouette than the outgoing Metcon 9 (shown in white below).
Nike

The forefoot has been widened too to allow for natural toe splay, promoting power transfer and balance. A revamped outsole includes more aggressive traction patterns, sticky rubber in the forefoot, and flex grooves to improve ground feel for exercises like jumps, sled pushes, and lateral cuts.

The shoe also features reengineered rope-guard overlays (slimmer but still grippy), a breathable mesh upper with haptic print for durability, and a new mid-foot lockdown band designed to minimize internal foot slippage.

This 1958 Porsche Packed Tech That Was Years Ahead of Its Time

a photo of a vintage lorenz car phone system installed in a porsche sports car
As one of eight Schmidt-commissioned Porsches, Spin’s 1958 356 A came fitted with cutting-edge tech like a Lorenz car phone.
Porsche

Through his connections as an automotive supplier, Schmidt had worked closely with Volkswagen and Porsche to test and patent new parts of his design. As such, all ‘Schmidt cars’ built at the time were experimental one-offs fitted with unique features to test their market potential.

In the case of Spin’s Porsche 356 A, Schmidt spared no expense. Along with specifying the car in a unique Porcelain White on Acella Red colorway, he also had it equipped with a Lorenz car telephone system, a Blaupunkt Köln car radio, a rally-spec Junghans clock, an electric wiper fluid pump, door speakers and reverse lights, among many other unique items.

Spin’s only clue as to the Porsche’s significance was a small handwritten note on the car’s original Reutter documents.
Porsche

Porsche labor of love

Considering that much of this technology was cutting-edge at the time of its installation, finding functional replacements proved to be a monumental task. Moreover, Spin had purchased the 356 A sight unseen, and it arrived from the United States in much worse condition than he had anticipated.

As such, even though Spin first journeyed to Stuttgart in 2008, the project wouldn’t be completed for a full decade. Working with Porsche Classic to source new body panels (some of which took four years to find) and overhaul the chassis, engine, electronics and upholstery, Spin invested more than 3,000 hours in the 356’s restoration.

Yema designed the Flygraph CPA10 in collaboration with the French airborne unit of the same name. It was designed to meet legibility and durability criteria with a high-contrast dial and 40mm titanium case. The unit’s insignia is applied at six o’clock and etched into the French blue dial. It runs on Yema’s in-house caliber CMM.10 automatic movement with a 70-hour power reserve, and comes on a two-piece pin-buckle leather-lined canvas strap made from the same material as the unit’s uniforms.

Sharge Retractable 3-in-1 Power Bank

As its name gives away, Sharge’s Retractable 3-in-1 Power Bank is a versatile little gadget with a signature transparent design. It can function as a 10,000mAh portable battery or, thanks to its foldable prongs, a 30-watt power adapter. Its battery can be recharged by plugging it directly into the wall — no extra cables required. That said, it does have a retractable USB-C cable that stretches 27 inches (long!) for charging your USB-C gadgets. Additionally, it has a small LED dot-matrix display that tells you how much battery life it has left.

This UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) has a suite of features that make it an off-road workhorse, including a front-end winch, 300-pound dump box and 1,500-pound tow capacity. Of course, it also has the tires and off-road suspension the brand’s robust and capable side-by-sides are known for. Best of all, it offers all of this at a starting price under $10,000.

Meindl Comfort Fit Montafon Light Hiker

Considering it was founded by Petrus Meindl in Kirchanschöring, Bavaria in 1683, Meindl’s boot-making bona fides go way back. This modern model boasts a durable yet breathable suede and mesh upper, Gore-Tex DWR lining and grippy Vibram outsole for reliable traction on a variety of terrain. Rounding out its best features are the brand’s super-secure Variofix lacing system, an EVA cushioned midsole and a full protective rand to stand up long and strong to whatever the trail dishes out.

Take on Any Trail with HOKA’s Mafate 5, Designed for Rugged Runs

Master your most grueling trail runs with HOKA’s durable, steadfast trail runner. 

Significant elevation changes, challenging terrain and vast distances are just a few of the hurdles that ultra trail runners must contend with; the sport is not for the faint-hearted. Training for ultra running requires physical strength, mental fortitude and gear that can keep up with the intense requirements of this demanding sport. When it comes to durability, protection and long-lasting comfort, HOKA’s Mafate 5 trail running shoes are a step above the rest. 

The HOKA Mafate 5 is engineered to deliver unwavering support, performance and protection, and is ready for whatever the trail dares to throw your way. Here’s why we lace up in these trail shoes when the going gets rough.

Enduring Durability and Comfort

Trail running is rife with obstacles, varied terrain and difficulties around every corner. As such, it’s important to invest in footwear that can handle the worst. That’s where the Mafate 5 comes in: this trail runner has been engineered to withstand the demands of the trail, with features such as the Reinforced MetaRocker™, which tackles uneven terrain for a steady, balanced ride. The Mafate 5’s dual-density foam underfoot offers elevated comfort and dampens the impact of the trail.

This Grip Won’t Quit

Grip is a feature that is tantamount to the success of any ultra-trail running endeavor — if you can’t stick to the trail when things get slick, uneven and loose, good luck. Fortunately, the Mafate 5 comes standard with Vibram Megagrip® with Traction Lugs, which offer premium and enhanced control on tough terrain.

Gaiter Done

The Mafate 5 features something no HOKA trail shoe has ever been able to boast before: gaiter compatibility. This added innovation offers even more protection from the elements, as well as sustained comfort, allowing you to focus on what matters most: the trail. For ultra trail runners determined to push past their own limits and conquer the harshest trails, the Mafate 5 is designed to excel.

This Sneaker Has a Genius Safety Feature Apple Doesn’t Want You to Know About

Since their introduction over four years ago, Apple has explicitly stated that AirTags should not be used to track people. It has even introduced methods to alert individuals who may be tracked by an AirTag without their knowledge.

Of course, this hasn’t stopped parents from finding innovative ways to use AirTags to track their kids. And now, those same parents just got an assist from one of the biggest names in kids’ shoes.

Find My Skechers

The Find My Skechers collection features a range of styles and colors, fit for boys and girls up to eight years old.
Skechers

That’s right, Skechers just launched a new line of kid shoes, called Find My Skechers, that is AirTag compatible. Specifically, there’s a hidden compartment under the heel of the insole that’s specifically designed to hold (and protect) an AirTag.

According to the brand, this hidden compartment has “a screw-tight cover that comfortably hides the AirTag.” That way, the child can’t access and remove the AirTag.

This New Retro-Styled Roadster Departs Sharply from Its 77-Year-Old Nameplate — In a Good Way

Small thunder

Launched in 1948, the original BSA Bantam was, as the name suggests, a lightweight bike, but one that had a heavy impact.

Steadily growing from 123cc to 148cc to 173cc, the two-stroke single was such a hit, BSA produced as many as 500,000 units.

Take one look at the original, and you’ll appreciate both its style and why the new one is significantly different.

One of five Bantam 350 paint schemes, Barrel Black is by far the best, in my humble opinion.
BSA Motorcycles

Its almost skeletal silhouette will remind you that motorcycles really did evolve from bicycles — and no serious moto manufacturer is really relying upon a springer seat to save your spine these days.

Based more on the 42 FJ from Jawa (another M&M-owned brand), the new Bantam 350 boasts an engine nearly twice as big as its predecessor’s biggest.

Could Mitsubishi’s Latest Trail Package Signal a Return To Its Off-Road Roots?

a photo of a mountain biker shown through the interior of a mitsubishi outlander
Though the Outlander Trail Edition comes with rugged all-weather matting, it doesn’t skimp on the interior experience.
Mitsubishi

In keeping with the package’s go-anywhere aspirations, Mitsubishi has also made some changes to the Outlander’s interior. All-weather floor mats come standard across all seating positions, and even the rear cargo area features rubberized protection to guard against mud and grime.

Of course, anyone who’s considering the Trail Edition will probably be hauling gear that’s too simply too large to fit inside — even with a folding third-row. To that end, Mitsubishi is offering buyers equipment like a Thule Caprock flat-rack roof rack, a Thule hitch-mounted bike rack and a host of compatible accessories like awnings and canoe mounts.

a photo of a white mitsubishi suv with a yellow kayak on the roof
Whether you’re looking to bring along your bikes, kayaks or other outdoor gear, Mitsubishi’s factory-offered Thule racks have you covered.
Mitsubishi

Off-road aspirations

Now, even though the Trail Edition doesn’t come fitted with your usual off-road accessories (like a lift or a skid plate), this year’s Outlander does benefit from some suspension tweaks, and the package makes otherwise optional all-wheel drive a standard feature.

In the case of Mitsubishi’s Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) system, you’re getting five distinct driving modes. By monitoring vehicle speed, ambient temperature, wheel grip, steering input and yaw, the Outlander’s driving characteristics can be tailored to everything from dry tarmac to slippery snow.

An Espionage Expert Helped Develop This Robust Yet Refined EDC Knife

You might not realize it, but the worlds of knifemaking and watchmaking actually have a lot in common. There are some obvious overlaps, like the materials employed — both rely heavily on robust metals, especially steel — but they also share elements of design, craftsmanship and history.

The upcoming Prometheus Design Werx x Watches of Espionage Birdwatcher EDC knife takes those commonalities to heart and magnificently blends them.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that it was partly developed by someone intimately familiar with both worlds: a former CIA operative who now dabbles in horology.

The knife boasts either a green or black G10 handle scale on the presentation side.
Prometheus Design Werx

Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy

As mentioned, PDW Special Project Division’s collaborator in this knife is W.O.E. (Watches of Espionage), a blog and shop run by a genuine former CIA operative with a watch obsession. As such, it makes perfect sense that the knife is heavily inspired by spy culture and history.

For starters, the name itself is referential. “Birdwatcher” is a cheeky espionage colloquialism for “spy” — someone who collects intelligence and watches others.

Seiko’s Special Edition Speedtimer Collection Is a Retro Masterpiece

At first glance, it resembles a the 5 Sports automotive collection more than a Speedtimer, but the movement alone puts it well above Seiko’s entry-level collection. It is powered by the same caliber 6R55 automatic movement, which is seen throughout Seiko’s mid-tier Presage collection.

The obvious comment is that this isn’t a chronograph, but the internal bezel is an adequate low-tech mechanism for measuring elapsed time. It can mark a second, minute, or hour that something occurred or began.

In that regard, I think the SPB517 is actually a clever and novel addition to the Speedtimer family. It also has the coolest Datsun insignia on the logo, using the brand’s racing logo. It evokes a connection to one of the most iconic racing watches, the TAG Heuer Monaco.

It comes on a perforated black leather racing strap with a crimson suede liner visible through the holes. The SPB517 is essentially a significantly upgraded version of a 5 Sports racing watch with a double-signed dial.

Vans Premium Old Skool Mule Shoe

Vans has taken its most iconic skate sneaker and morphed it into one of the trendiest contemporary styles: the mule. The sneaker retains its classic styling, including its canvas and suede upper and signature side stripe, but it sees the heel lopped off for a more convenient, comfy and casual slip-on silhouette. It also still has its chunky, vulcanized rubber outsole with Vans’ waffle tread, but gets a more cozy Sola Foam ADC (All-Day Comfort) insole for additional cushioning.

Creative Stage ProCreative Labs

Creative Stage Pro

Creative’s Stage Pro is an affordable 2.1-channel soundbar and subwoofer system that, according to the brand, is designed to bring “cinematic sound into compact living spaces.” It can be hooked up to your TV or desktop, as it supports multiple wired connections (including HDMI ARC and USB) and has two listening modes: near field or far field. It also has built-in Bluetooth for streaming.

As part of the agreement, ispace will conduct ground-based evaluations for Bridgestone’s soft, elastic lunar rover tires to determine their technical viability. Bridgestone and ispace are aiming for practical application as early as 2029.

DJI Osmo 360DJI

DJI Osmo 360

The DJI Osmo 360 is the company’s first entry into the 360-degree action camera space. It features an industry-first square HDR sensor and is capable of recording videos at up to 8K at 50fps, including 4K videos at 100fps — the brand claims that it sets a “new standard for video resolution in 360 cameras.” It can also capture 120-megapixel 360-degree stills. Additionally, the Osmo 360 has a super compact and lightweight body, weighing just 183 grams. And it’s compatible with several accessories (such as a battery extension rods, selfie sticks, mounts and lens protections), which DJI sells separately.

The special edition Orient Bambino I with a baby blue dial now comes with a Milanese-style steel mesh bracelet. It has a 38mm stainless steel case and runs on an in-house caliber F6724 automatic movement, which is also hand-winding, has hacking, and has a 40-hour power reserve. Additionally, the beige nubuck suede pin-buckle strap originally paired with the Baby Blue dial is back in stock. Unfortunately, this is the only Bambino offered with a mesh strap at this time.

Chantelle Shoaee Osprey Talon OxygenOsprey

Osprey Talon Oxygen

Aiming to make hiking more accessible, Osprey teamed up with Chantelle Shoaee (shown), a disability advocate and the executive director of Always Choose Adventures, to design a pack that delivers mobile oxygen support for people with hypoxia. (The condition, where the body’s tissues don’t get enough oxygen, can result from a number of medical diagnoses, including long COVID.) This particular Talon pack features a padded front pocket designed to securely carry the Inogen G5 portable oxygen concentrator (not included), plus Cannula routing ports to prevent tubing kinks and catching. It also boasts some beloved features of Osprey’s best packs, including dual zippered hipbelt pockets, side stretch mesh pockets, compression straps and a reinforced bottom so it stays upright when not in use.

This Sporty Automatic Dive Watch Packs Two Crucial, Frequently Excluded Features

The Ocean Fade is available with the original blue ceramic bezel insert, featuring a red zero marker that wraps around the bezel’s coin edge. This detail is a stand-in for Hanhart’s signature red chronograph pusher.

A new black ceramic bezel insert is also available, although it only comes on the Ocean Fade dial, not the original FreeFall Blue.

Two new rubber dive straps, a blue and a black, with folding clasps and dive extensions, have joined the collection. They are signed with the Hanhart script logo.

The Ocean Fade references add a touch of nuance and some variety to the Aquasphere collection, but they don’t fix anything that wasn’t broken. It is still a remarkably capable and beautiful dive watch for a brand’s first go at the genre.

Selling for just over $2,000, it is also an excellent bargain for the amount of watch that you get.

LG’s Newest TV Looks like It’s from the Future

A picture upgrade

First and foremost, the StanbyME 2 is a better-looking TV. It’s the same 27-inch size as its predecessor, but it now delivers a higher-resolution picture (1440p instead of the original’s 1080p).

The smart TV runs on LG’s webOS and is powered by the latest-generation Alpha 8 AI processor. According to the brand, it can harness AI to detect what you’re watching and automatically enhance picture and sound quality accordingly.

LG StandbyME 2
The LG StanbyME 2 features a four-hour battery life and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
LG

A touchscreen that detaches

Like the original model, the StanbyME 2 has a built-in battery (which promises up to four hours of runtime on a single charge) and comes on a stand with wheels, allowing you to roll the TV from room to room and without needing a power connection.

However, unlike the original, the StanbyME 2 can be detached from the stand. You can then hang the TV on the wall, hold it like a tablet or place it on a surface. You can purchase optional accessories, such as a folio cover or a strap to hang it on a wall or stand it upright.

15 Stunning New Sneakers from Nike, Adidas, Hoka and More You Might Have Missed

Round out your summer wardrobe with one (or more) of these style-forward, conversation-starting recent drops.

adidas spezial mig macroAdidas

No matter what your natural proclivities may be, summer is invariably a season of getting out and having fun, especially on nights and weekends.

With that in mind, it could be prime time to update your street style, particularly your footwear.

Thankfully, brands have been releasing snazzy sneakers left and right, and we’ve been keeping tabs. 

Check out some of our favorites from the past month below, and feel free to hit up our Sneakers Archive for even more sweet kicks.

Nike C1ty Premium

The C1ty Premium is an upgraded take on the base model, bringing tougher materials and an outdoorsy edge that effectively turns the silhouette into a retro hiker. The shoe showcases the same suede paneling found on the original C1ty shoe, however, it replaces the standard mesh with hardwearing Cordura for a tactical edge.

hoka x maap tecton x 2 productHoka x MAAP

HOKA x MAAP Tecton X 2

Available in a signature “limeade” colorway, the shoe is built on HOKA’s acclaimed Tecton X 2 sole, featuring a parallel carbon plate that delivers a propulsive ride on varied terrain. Reflective detailing, inspired by MAAP’s technical cycling apparel, enhances visibility on and off the bike. Hot melt overlays and splatter paint details further elevate the shoe’s design, paying homage to MAAP’s instantly recognizable aesthetic.

New Balance 204L sneakerNew Balance

New Balance 204L

New Balance sneakers tend to fall into one of two camps: techy Y2K runners or dad shoes with retro flair. The brand’s next “it” shoe is a mashup of both worlds, stringing together two distinct eras of New Balance heritage into one fresh silhouette set to dominate the second half of 2025.

Adidas

Adidas Spezial Made in Germany

These sneakers feature upgraded suede across the upper, paired with a plush leather collar and more precise stitching than you’ll encounter on the Samba or even inline Spezial. What’s more, Adidas opted to endow this release with a simple blue-and-white colorway that will undoubtedly earn it a place in the history books as one of the brand’s best efforts on an unsung model.

Danner FullBore ID Hiking Sneaker profileDanner

Danner FullBore ID

The FullBore ID’s upper is made from suede and nylon, a classic combination that offers both stylishness and durability. Wedged between the upper and the outsole is a Danner Plyolite midsole, offering plenty of cushion to keep your feet comfy no matter the terrain. To take that a step further (pardon the pun), these sneakers also have a removable OrthoLite footbed to offer a little more comfort and support. And there’s a mesh lining to keep everything breathable, making these shoes great for summer adventures.

Adidas Chavarria Jabbar sneakerAdidas

Adidas Chavarria Jabbar Dress

The limited-edition Chavarria Jabbar Dress reimagines the evergreen sneaker as an upscaled dress shoe, complete with enhanced leather, waxed laces and a sculpted toe box that’s more pointed than the original. This variant also diverges from the classic Jabbar with a wordmark on the lateral side of each shoe. Interestingly, one reads “Kareem” while the others reads “Willy.”

Madewell x Reebok Club C 85 Sneakers profileMadewell

Madewell x Reebok Club C 85

Like its numerous predecessors, this take on the Reebok Club C 85s maintains a lot of the sneaker’s iconic details. This includes its tumbled leather upper, giving it a creamy off-white appearance. It also gets a rubber outsole, although it sees the midsole swapped for more modern, comfortable EVA foam. This version also has a terrycloth lining, which is soft to the touch and allows for them to be worn with or without socks while remaining cozy.

Nike Field General ParachuteNike

Nike Field General “Parachute Beige”

Unlike most other versions of the Field General to date, “Parachute Beige” sees the design take on a monochromatic getup that stands apart with its tonal upper, logo and midsole. What’s more, Nike went with a palette that places the shoe more in desert boot or Clarks Wallabees territory than anything resembling the Adidas Samba — its closest competitor from across the aisle.

hoka x supervsn clifton one9Hoka x Supervsn

Hoka x Supervsn Clifton One9

Introduced late last year, the Clifton One9 updates the super-popular and iconic Clifton with a TPU film overlay on top of the open-hole mesh upper, a slim, race-ready tongue, Hoka’s finest foam and a 32mm stack height. With this collaboration, that already compelling package gets three eye-popping yet elegant colorways: Mantis Green, Ice Grey and Neon Gold (which will get a very limited run of 99 pairs, making it the rarest Hoka ever made). 

a pair of new balance sneakersHuckberry

New Balance 2002R Dark Juniper

This throwback to the early 2000s is a derivative of the 990 series, with a similar toe box design, but New Balance added the springy N-ergy outsole system. The upper has suede over nylon mesh panels. It sits on New Balance’s signature ABZORB midsole and has a heavily padded collar for support.

Nike Total 90 SneakerNike

Nike Total 90 Premium

Unlike the glossy uppers of Total 90s, this one gets premium material upgrades, utilizing a combination of leather and suede. Furthermore, the upper material is distressed out of the box, giving it a lot more character than its shiny sibling. Admittedly, this sneaker is probably going to be a lot more divisive than the Samba for a number of reasons. However, it’s a bold choice for Nike and could be a sleeper hit for those not afraid of a little originality in their style.

Vans Authentic VibramVans

Vans OTW Authentic Zip Vibram

First the first time ever, the Vans OTW Authentic Zip Vibram sees the classic design take on a Vibram Vulc Tank Tread outsole. This not only injects the classic shoe with extra traction and grip but increases its durability tenfold compared to standard Authentic models made with vulcanized rubber. That ethos also shines on the rest of the upper and midsole, starting with a higher-than-average sidewall and knurled rubber heel counter — not to mention a reinforced toe cap for extra impact protection. Casting its namesake attribute aside, however, the shoe’s most novel feature is undoubtedly its stretchy neoprene upper inspired by wetsuits and booties.

Quietly released on Adidas’s official website, “Aurora Ivy” and “Earth Strata” see the SL 72 adopt dark green and light brown uppers — two fall-friendly departures from the bright hues that traditionally adorn the retro model. That said, there’s more going on here than a simple color swap. Nylon makes way for a knit textile as the base material of the upper, matching the textured tongue while imbuing the shoe with late-summer breathability.

The Road Classic SK OX boasts a mixed-material upper that combines canvas and suede, with paneling around the heel and toebox that’s reminiscent of the Adidas Samba. That said, the Road Classic SK OX avoids being an all-out Samba dupe, with a tacky, rubber sole that follows in the footsteps of shoes like the Nike Killshot 2, giving it a leg up for use actually skateboarding. The only thing missing is notoriety outside of Japan, where the shoe has remained exclusive since launch. In other words, make sure your checked bag has some spare room for the way back.

This design still resembles the original Old Skool sneaker in both name and style. However, many of its elements are a major departure from the classic skate shoe. And they’re largely drawn from the outdoor industry. Take the upper, for instance. Instead of a solid canvas, this shoe sees it swapped for a more breathable, mesh-like “lofted engineered-knit” cotton. It also sees the classic eyestays swapped for rubberized ones that connect to the sneaker’s signature side stripe. Speaking of the side stripe, this crucial element is also different on this shoe. Instead of a strip of leather, this version is a 3D-injected synthetic.

CRKT’s Robotics-Inspired EDC Knife Gets a Premium Italian Upgrade

All of [the Nucleus’s] stylistic flourishes also serve a purpose.

It boasts a futuristic silhouette and exaggerated angles. Yet, all of its stylistic flourishes also serve a purpose. The skeletal cutouts help reduce weight, while the beveled edges ensure the remaining material retains its strength and structure.

While the original version of this knife was already pretty exceptional, this new, upgraded take — in two colorways — makes it even better.

The knife boasts three deployments: back and front flippers and a thumb hole.
CRKT

(Italian) upgrade complete

The original Nucleus came with a 12C27 steel blade, a stainless steel handle and a G10 overlay. It was offered in a black and red colorway. However, all of that has changed in this new version.

Made in Italy, it now has a robust MagnaCut 3.23-inch modified Wharncliffe blade with a bead-blasted finish. However, it still has its trio of deployments: an oversized thumb hole and both front and back flippers.
