A Quintessential Outdoor Shoe Gets an Ultralight Camo Reissue Fit for Adventure

Sperry’s Top-Sider boat shoes are about as iconic as seafaring footwear gets, but this new edition puts a unique, outdoor spin on these waterborne beauties. Now, the shoe features an almost all-over Realtree camouflage print on the upper. But that’s not the only thing special about this quintessential adventure shoe. It’s also far lighter, more comfortable (courtesy of an EVA foam midsole), has a more grippy slip-resistant outsole and more.

In tandem with the reveal of the significantly updates GLS and GLE SUVs, Mercedes-Benz also debuted the equally revised GLE Coupe. Much like its standard sibling, the GLE Coupe continues its mission as a sportier, more stylistic GLE, but with its arse chopped off. That said, the GLE Coupe benefits from the same updates as the GLE, including redesigned lighting assemblies fore and aft, a new grille, a revised interior with the latest MB.OS and MBUX infotainment system, and a slightly tweaked turbo inline-six, now with 375 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. A new GLE Coupe also means a revised GLE AMG Coupe is also shortly around the corner.

Panasonic’s ErgoFit has been one of the most popular affordable wired earphones for years. And now, finally, the company has introduced new versions with a USB-C connector (instead of 3.5mm) so that they can connect directly to your smartphone, laptop or tablet. Other than the new connector, everything about these wired earphones is the same: drivers, microphone and design. They are available in three finishes: white, blue or black.

As gifts for kids go, it’s pretty hard to beat this new illustrated book, which carries the unassailable message that biking is for everyone, no matter what you look like or how fast you go. It could not come from a more reliable source, either, as Marley Blonsky, co-founder and executive director of All Bodies on Bikes, has been honored by Outside, Bicycling and others for her tireless advocacy toward inclusivity in cycling. Note: the book will be released on April 15 but is available for pre-order from Strong Girl Publishing and a number of other sources now.

Legacy hiking brand Merrell has teamed up with lifestyle activewear brand FP Movement on a first-time collaboration including two limited-edition footwear designs outfitted for the intersection of modern outdoor style and everyday wearability. The Hut Moc 2 Packable is a fashion-forward take on an existing Merrell silhouette focusing on packability: the quilted ripstop upper, soft cushioning and zip‑together design, plus the attached carabiner, make for easy everyday wear and effortless travel capability. The new Rosa/Chalk colorway completes the limited-edition package.

Independent watchmaker Rexhap Rexhapi has arguably become the hottest name in the high-end indie collector space in recent years, and now he’s launched what may be his most impressive creation to date with the Rexhep Rexhepi Chronograph Flyback (RRCHF). The watch is powered by an all-new, entirely in-house, mechanical integrated flyback chronograph calibre that was designed from the ground up to be as aesthetically pleasing as it is technically impressive. The watch’s Grand Feu enamel dial has a unique, asymmetrical setup featuring three tinted sapphire subdials that partially show off the hand-finished movement. At 12:00 is the main timekeeping, at 7:00 is the running seconds and at 4:00 is a jumping minutes counter for the chronograph. The flyback chronograph seconds hand takes center stage on the dial, while the sapphire caseback reveals the beautifully decorated chronograph components, including the column wheel and lateral clutch. Most incredible of all, the watch measures just 9.7mm thick, which is insanely slender for a mechanical flyback chronograph. Available in platinum or red gold, the RRCHF is listed at CHF 150,000 (~$188,000).
