2026 Jeep Gladiator Shadow Ops

With the debut of the 2026 Gladiator Shadow Ops, Jeep is kicking off the first in a series of military-inspired releases as part of its ‘Convoy’ campaign. In the case of the Shadow Ops package, this means that the Gladiator gets treated to a stealthy blackout design with a satin grille and decals, a set of heavy-duty steel bumpers, as well as a body-color Freedom top and fender flares. Most notably, the package makes the Gladiator the first midsize truck to offer a factory-installed winch. At $4,995, it makes for a premium of just $2,605 over a comparable Rubicon.

Breville Barista Touch Impress (Cold Coffee Technology)

With its simple touch controls, step-by-step instructions, efficient ThermoJet heating system and Auto MilQ hands-free foamer, the Breville Barista Touch Impress was already one of the best home coffee machines on the market. It’s no wonder that it has been a bestseller for the brand for some time now. And it seems poised to solidify its spot even more now that Breville has integrated its Cold Coffee Technology into this machine — meaning users can now make iced coffee just as easily as they can make hot coffee.

The difference is that the “Plus” models support Dolby Atmos with head tracking and thus deliver an even more immersive sound experience.

Mike Gigliotti x NB Numeric 933 Reynolds

New Balance and skate artist Mike Gigliotti have teamed up for a new take on the brand’s iconic Andrew Reynolds signature model. Reynolds and Gigliotti are both skaters, as well as friends and business partners, so the team-up only makes sense. The result of the collaborative effort sees the addition of a premium green leather upper, paired with tactile nubuck overlays, a dark brown suede on the lace panel and pale pink laces to tie it all together. Whether you’re a fan of skating, millennial icons or earthy color palettes, this shoe is bound to intrigue.

2026 Nissan Pathfinder

Nissan just rolled out a mid-cycle update for one of its most popular SUVs, the Pathfinder. Given the current model is about to crest five years old, the Japanese company issued a modest list of updates, including revised looks inside and out, updated standard equipment lists and a new starting price. Such upgrades include a larger 12.3-inch center color touchscreen as standard for all models, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for all models, an upgraded wireless phone charger for all models, updated bumper and lighting designs, and more.
