Unistellar Envision

Unistellar’s Envision is the company’s first pair of smart binoculars. They combine new-age tech with Nikon optics to deliver an augmented reality overlay of what you’re looking at.

At night, it can also help identify stars, planets, asteroids, moons, and galaxies. The AR binoculars are now available for preorder at a discounted price of $1,000, with shipping expected in October 2026.

Salomon x Beams XT-Whisper

Salomon and the pioneering Japanese lifestyle clothing brand Beams have teamed up to give the XT-Whisper a new look for Fall 25. The XT-Whisper gets a modern makeover thanks to a futuristic purple gradient inspired by an electronic glow that almost gives The Matrix vibes. Asymmetrical color blocking and glossy upper details that reflect light make this shoe feel out of this world. Dual Salomon and Beams branding on the tongue, heel and insole highlight the partnership. The sleek Salomon x Beams XT-Whisper is available now on Beams’s official website, and is slated to drop at salomon.com on October 9 for $150.

Pit Viper The Exec Skysurfer Extreme

One of the more unlikely team-ups in recent memory sees Pit Viper join forces with GoreWear to put some wraparound sunnies through the proverbial ringer at the latter’s biophysics lab. The result is this uniquely aerodynamic, breathable, durable and affordable pair of sport shades, featuring a polarized, shatterproof polycarbonate lens offering 100% UVA and UVB protection and no-slip grip rubberized touch points for a secure fit. That’ll help you perform your best, the brands say, “in heat, cold, rain, snow and the rare-but-sometimes-unavoidable food fight.”

Dsptch Switch 2 Case

This bag boasts all the hallmarks of an excellent EDC sling, including a 410D nylon exterior with a DWR weatherproof finish, an elastic-lined mesh internal pouch, a secure FidLock buckle and an adjustable shoulder strap. There’s just one little sneaky surprise: it’s specifically designed to fit a Nintendo Switch 2 console inside of it. That makes it ideal for on-the-go gamers, particularly when it comes to travel and commuting. Of course, you can use it as a standard EDC bag when you don’t want to carry your favorite mobile console with you.
