Avanti HawaiiAvanti Hawai’i Romeo and Juliet Shirt
You’ve seen it on countless social media posts, style blogs and “mood boards.” Now you can buy an authentic reproduction of the Aloha shirt Leonardo DiCaprio wore during the tragic climax of the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet. Made from 100% real silk, it features a Japanese-inspired floral motif, harkening back to the early twentieth-century cultural crossover that led to Hawaii’s original aloha shirts.
Grado LabsGrado Classic Series
The American hi-fi company has introduced the Classic Series. It comprises seven of the brand’s most recognizable open-back headphones, ranging from its entry-level SR60 ($125) to its flagship GS3000 ($3,000), but each one has been updated with Grado’s new X2 driver platform along with updated cable assemblies and refined build components. (Note: each of these headphones has a traditional hard-wired construction; for listeners looking for detachable cables, check out Grad’s Signature Line.)
Topo DesignsTopo Designs x Colorado Rapids Collection
Colorado is in Topo Designs’ DNA, which is abundantly clear with the brand’s latest collaboration: a pair of its classic bags imbued with the spirit of the Colorado Rapids soccer club. This limited-edition duo sees the brand’s iconic Rover Pack Classic and its more svelte Mountain Waist Pack both done up with playful colors and designs inspired by the company’s home state sports team. Of course, the bags are otherwise unchanged, boasting the same classic rucking-inspired looks and functionality that can go from the city to the trails and back again.
New BalanceNew Balance Made in UK Allerdale
New Balance’s ultra-refined Made in UK Allerdale is getting a heritage refresh with one of the most classic hues in fashion. The Fudge with Turkish Coffee variant of the modern day walking shoe utilizes an all suede, contemporary oxblood upper to refresh the shoe while grounding it in an unmistakable colorway. The sneaker maintains its cupsole unit with proprietary FuelCell foam, hiking-inspired D-ring, Ortholite insole and rubber outsole, and will be available for purchase starting April 1, 2026.
Bimota2026 Bimota BX450
The BX450 represents Bimota’s take on the Kawasaki KX450X, bringing the brand’s typical Italian exoticism to the Japanese dirt bike platform. In practice, this means it’s spec’d with an Athena Get ECU, a handlebar-input controller with 10 levels of traction control and an Akrapovič Slip-On Line titanium exhaust. Moreover, Bimota wraps the wheels in a set of Metzeler MCE 6 Days Extreme tires, and the BX450 comes outfitted with a headlight, hand guards and plastics in a patriotic Italian colorway.
