ThirtyTwoThirtyTwo XXX Fava Pro LTD Snowboard
Having built a stellar rep for snowboard boots over the past 30 years, ThirtyTwo has spent the past couple branching out, first with its award-winning FASE bindings and now with actual decks. While the full line won’t hit shops till next winter, the brand gives us a sneak peek with team pro Pat Fava’s first signature model, which boasts a true medium camber mid-stiff profile, twin carbon boost stringers and graffiti-inspired graphics perfect for shredding everywhere from groomers to the park to the street.
SennheiserSennheiser HD 400U
The Sennheiser HD 400U is a pair of closed-back wired headphones with dynamic drivers. They are a new version of the company’s HD 400S, which was released in early 2019. The big update with the 400U is that they feature a USB-C wired connection (instead of traditional 3.5mm jack) and thus are better suited for modern smartphones and laptops. They support lossless audio up to 24-bit/96kHz. Best of all? The cost just $100.
Topo DesignsTopo Designs Global Pro Series
The Global Pro Series is a system of bags that splits the difference between EDC and adventure, combining ultratough materials with features commonly associated with urban packs. Comprised of five bags, it includes both a roller bag and small tech case. However, the star of the show is a three-way briefcase that can double as a backpack.
Dehen 1920Dehen 1920 x Gitman Vintage Oxford Shirt
Two stalwart representatives of American garment manufacturing team up for one perfect shirt. Oregon’s Dehen 1920 reached out to Gitman Vintage, which manufactures clothing in Tennessee, to create an Oxford on par with its knitwear and jackets. The collaborative design is essentially the same shirt Gitman has made since 1978, built from five-ounce pure cotton and featuring a pleated back, locker loop, three-point button-down collar and buttoned sleeve vent — the gold standard of American-made shirts. Aside from a custom tag on the inner yoke, the only updates are red stitching on the inverted bottom button and back collar button. It comes in solid blue, solid white and blue-and-white stripes.
Kalmar AutomotiveKalmar Automotive 7-97 Turbo
Seasoned Porsche restomod Kalmar Automotive has added to its growing 911-based portfolio with the 7-97 Turbo. As a 21st-century reinterpretation of the iconic 930 Turbo, the car combines ultra-light carbon bodywork, CFD-designed aerodynamics and a bespoke 3.2-liter turbocharged flat-six. With over 670 horsepower on tap, Kalmar makes sure to give its restomod plenty of upgrades — along with drive-by-wire steering, it also brings adaptive suspension, traction control, and ABS, among other impactful modernizations.
