Jeep 2026 Easter Safari Concepts

For the 60th running of the Easter Safari, Jeep has looked to its heritage to build out a bevy of retro-inspired off-road concepts. As such, from less involved transformations like the stripped-back Laredo to overland-focused rigs such as the Anvil 715, the Wrangler takes on a variety of looks and characters. But that’s not all; alongside those 4x4s, Jeep also wheeled out a Grand Wagoneer Commander concept with a stealthy makeover as well as an XJ Pioneer in celebration of the Cherokee nameplate’s 2026 return.

Sony Bravia Theater Bar 7

Sony’s Bravia Theater Bar 7 is a Dolby Atmos soundbar that sits just under the brand’s more premium Bravia options, the Bar 8 and Bar 9. The Bar 7 packs nine total drivers, including two up-firing and two side-firing, enabling it to deliver an immersive sound. The Bar 7 comes bundled with the company’s small subwoofer, the Sub 7 (which costs $330 on its own).

Tops Knives Upswarm

This highly compact, quirky fixed blade takes the Karambit concept and makes it a bit more unique. The ergonomic handle was inspired by knuckle dusters, so it’s highly grippable, and a finger-ring-inspired hook at the end improves overall security. And while the 3.0-inch handle has a main edge, it can also be equipped with a secondary spinal edge (or “swedge”) for even more cutting power. And to ensure it’s durable enough to handle any task, it boasts a 1095 high-carbon steel blade and a contoured Micarta handle.

Lotus Emira Secura

The Lotus Emira is gaining a limited edition variant that drums up an old moniker. For the 2026 model year, the iconic and small British sports car manufacturer just revealed the Emira Secura, a special version of its flagship mid-engine sports coupe. Taking inspiration from the original 2009 Exige Scura, the Emira Secura, it’s limited to just 60 units and features a ton of bespoke aesthetic appointments. Such appointments align with the Secura name, which translates to “darkness” from Italian to English and includes a unique Satin Nebulous Grey matte exterior hue, complete with piano-black accents and trim bits, matching piano-black 20-inch forged wheels wrapped in aggressive Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and more. And the best part: it’s a North America special.

Snow Peak Low Beach Chair in Black

Snow Peak’s coveted Japan-only camp chair has finally arrived in the United States. Good-looking enough for the beach or campsite or as a permanent fixture at home on the patio, the Snow Peak Low Beach Chair in Black is designed in Japan and features an aluminum frame and natural bamboo wood armrests paired with a sleek black polyester canvas seat. The limited-edition chair also includes matching black hardware and an accompanying storage bag. The back of the Low Beach Chair is 7 inches taller than the brand’s Luxury Low Beach Chair, making for a more supportive, restful experience. When not in use, Snow Peak’s elite seat can be backed down into a compact case.

Thousand Next

With youth cycling participation surging, according to PeopleForBikes, America’s hippest helmet brand rolls out a new lid specifically designed for riders 11 to 16. Unique touches such as color blocking, high-visibility aesthetics and a stylized logo complement beloved Thousand mainstays, including strategic ventilation, the dial-fit system (accommodating 52cm to 57cm heads), the innovative PopLock (a passthrough on the helmet that attaches it securely to your bike) and compatibility with a magnetic tail light ($30, sold separately).
