NikeNike ACG x Hyperice Normatec Elite
Hyperice’s Normatec Elite compression system is one of the best pieces of recovery tech on the market, beloved by professional athletes around the world. Now, the brand has teamed up with Nike’s All Conditions Gear (ACG) offshoot to craft a special edition of these legs to pay homage to the Milan Olympics, happening right now. They boast the same beloved technology, but they’ve been granted ACG’s bold styling and branding. There’s just one small catch: While they’re to be used by Olympic athletes, these particular Normatec Elites sadly won’t be for sale to the general public.
JBLJLab Blue XL Headphone Speaker
Don’t let the photo or the product name fool you — these aren’t headphones. Instead, JBL’s Blue XL is a wearable speaker disguised as an oversized pair of headphones. The budget audio brand describes it as a “30-watt portable sound system” that packs dual 2.5-inch drivers and passive radiators. It charges via USB-C and offers approximately 20 hours of battery life.
Parmigiani FleurierParmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Agave Blue
Parmigiani adds an elegant new colorway to the purest version of its Tonda PF sports watch, the Micro-Rotor, with this Agave Blue dial. The gorgeous color slots in neatly with the rest of the brand’s classy, muted colors, falling somewhere between blue, green and gray. Outside of the new color, the watch is unchanged and keeps its usual in-house Cal. PF703 micro-rotor movement and 40 x 7.8mm case with 100m of water resistance. The Agave Blue is available in both stainless steel with a platinum bezel for $28,600 or full 18K rose gold for $69,800.
PakaPaka Huascarán Jacket
This retro mountaineering-inspired jacket boasts unexpected materials and way more modern functionality than its streamlined design would suggest. Paka is already a leader in sustainable outdoor apparel, but its latest jacket release takes things up a notch. The Huascarán is a retro-inspired design that uses the brand’s patented and award-winning insulation blend of 50 percent alpaca and 50 percent recycled polyester, as well as a combination of NetPlus recycled nylon and Pertex in the water-repellant, PFAS-free shell. The adjustable cuffs, hem, and hood lock in warmth and a two-way center front zipper allows for adaptable movement. The red colorway is already sold out, but there are limited quantities of the black remaining.
Harley-DavidsonHarley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle Stage III – 121ci to 125ci
If you happen to own a Harley CVO Grand American Touring motorcycle, here’s your chance to significantly amp up its power and pickup. This new upgrade kit bumps displacement from 1,977cc to 2,048cc while boosting horsepower by 15 percent and torque by 17 percent with the two non-ST Street Glides and five percent and four percent, respectively, with ST models. In real terms, that mean your Street Glide or Street Glide Limited will jump from 111hp to 131 horsepower, while a Street Glide ST or Road Glide ST will go from 122hp to 128hp. Not too shabby.
