On the Radar
Reveals, New Launches and Gear
Nisolo Lockwood
Nisolo’s new Lockwood boot is inspired by the classic American trench boot, but with some stylistic upgrades. Its leather upper and calfskin interior lining make it comfortable for all-day wear, while still being more than presentable for work. If ever they do need to be repaired, the Lockwoods are fully re-soleable, so it’s easy to breath new life into them after years of wear. Each pair is handmade and ethically produced in Peru.
Hydro Flask 32- and 64-Ounce Growlers
New for 2016, Hydro Flask will be releasing a newly designed growler. The new design features the same durability and benefits of the old version, with a newly designed cap that holds carbonation better and a carrying handle.
Founders Brewing Mango Magnifico
If you are looking for a beer to fill your new Hydro Flask with, Founders’s new Mango Magnifico is a fine choice, brewed with mangoes and a touch of habanero pepper.
TaylorMade M2 Driver
Building on the success of the M1, TaylorMade have released the new M2 which is constructed from ultra-light, ultra-thin and high-strength Carbon Composite — which makes it even easier to send one deep down the fairway.
Corknet Ping Pong Set
This piece available exclusively at the MoMA store works as a trivet to hold medium-sized pots and, as soon as dinner is over, transforms into a net for a quick game of ping pong.
Duke Cannon Winter Is Coming Defense Kit
