Viberg x David Coggins The Outsider IV

The renowned Canadian shoemaker updates its ongoing partnership with David Coggins, a writer celebrated for his musings on style, travel, culture and a healthy appreciation for the outdoors. This fourth chapter updates the apron toe chukka Outsider III with two new leather varieties. Both use a reverse suede upper with a dense, velvety-soft nap, available in light brow Coyote and earthy green Mojave. It has a leather midsole with a 360 split welt for enhanced water resistance, and a dense crepe rubber outsole with a stacked leather heel for exceptional traction.

Craighill Swingtop Lighter

In stark opposition to the mass-produced, cheap plastic disposable lighters that crowd the market, the Swingtop stands as a testament to craft and cleverness. Not only is this a highly effective, efficient and reliable lighter, but it has the added benefit of a durable stainless steel construction and a fidget-friendly mechanism. It’s available for preorder in silver and black, but it will likely sell through quickly, so get it while you can.

Lego Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear

Lego’s sixth Technic Ultimate Car Concept Series creation takes the form of the Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear, an ultra-focused track-exclusive hypercar based on the Jesko platform. As part of the build, the set includes a V8 piston engine, a functional 9-speed transmission, as well as Triplex front and rear suspension and a rotating gear indicator disc. What’s more, it even brings a ‘Ghost Mode’ function that raises the rear clam, opens the doors and the front hood in one motion, just as the car does in real life. To celebrate the announcement of the set, Koenigsegg and Lego built a life-sized Technic Sadair’s Spear and drove it to a record-setting top speed of 69 mph.

Ducati Desmo250 MX

Developed on track in Italian Prestige MX2 championship by Alessandro Lupino, Ducati’s latest off-roader draws on the strength of its big bro, the Desmo450 MX, to promise potent precision and power for its size. The beating heart is a new 249cc desmodromic engine, which can rev to 15,000 rpm with a broad torque curve for more power with less shifting. Hitting North American dealerships in August, the bike also boasts an agile chassis featuring a perimeter frame, aluminum swingarm, and Showa suspension with Kashima Coating, plus model-specific Ducati Traction Control and Predictive Maintenance, among many other highlights.
