On the Radar
Reveals, New Launches and Gear
Ray-Ban Clubround
Ray-Ban has combined two of its most popular styles, the Round and Clubmaster, for a somewhat more academic-looking lovechild of the two. It’s a subtle variation — the materials are the same acetate brows and metal rims and bridges one can expect of the brand — but nonetheless a striking new look, available for pre-order in standard, mirror and optical lenses.
Leki Tour Plus S Glove
Click in and out of your poles with ease — perfect for sticky situations — with this waterproof glove, which also allow for variable gripping without having to click out.
Adidas Ace16+ Purecontrol
The laceless upper of this (strikingly) green cleat isn’t just for convenience, but for a fit that molds to the foot upon first wear, without any wear-in time, allowing for firm control on third- and fourth-generation artificial grass.
Zeiss Exolens iPhone Lenses
Step up your phone photos with these three lenses, which serve as zoom macro adapters and wide-angle and telephoto converters. (Translation: legit 40-80mm zoom, robust capabilities for close and far shots and more.)
CB2 Denim Hangers
While unexpected, denim hangers are eco-friendly — and your favorite shirts will probably take kindly to them.
