FerrariFerrari Luce
Ferrari’s most controversial car yet arrives in the form of the Luce, as it not only represents the brand’s first EV but also a dramatic departure from its identity with five true seats and a Tesla-like shape. Accordingly, rather than a sonorous, naturally aspirated V8 or V12 engine, the model rides on an entirely new platform with four wheel-mounted electric motors rated for a maximum of 1,035 total horsepower. Moreover, Ferrari has given the Luce some slick new tech it’s calling Torque Shift Engagement, which utilizes paddle-like inputs to adjust torque delivery and regenerative braking intensity. Add to that striking exterior and interior styling handled by Jony Ive and Marc Newson’s LoveFrom design firm, and the result is a fresh kind of Ferrari that’s easily as polarizing as anything to wear the Prancing Horse.
OrbitkeyOrbitkey Essentials Laptop Sleeve
More than just your average laptop sleeve, Orbitkey’s new take on the daily essential brings thoughtful detail and curated design to a familiar favorite. The Essentials Laptop Sleeve features space to protect your laptop, as well as smart storage for cables, chargers, your mouse and more. The wide opening, minimal anchor points for a cross-body strap and luggage pass-through handle make it easy to access what you want and keep essentials safe on the go. Available in Black, Terracotta or Lilac, the new release pulls double duty as both laptop sleeve and portable desk mat, and it’s built with premium vegan leather and recycled woven fabric fabricated to stand up to the daily commute.
NeighborhoodNeghborhood NH x Goyemon .unda
At a glance, these sandals might look like traditional Japanese Zōri, which is by design. However, their materials and construction are decidedly more modern and contemporary, boasting an almost Nike Air Max-like sneaker sole (complete with the signature “air bags”). Combining Italian leather, polyester, and polyurethane, these sandals are durable and comfortable as sneakers, but they wear easily and boast a classic look. They also get a little graphic edge, with the sole printed with a foot-bone motif.
Duluth Trading CompanyDuluth Trading Company Insulated Bevy Bandolier
The coolest product from the renowned workwear maker’s new collaboration with fellow Wisconsin brand Old Milwaukee has to be this insulated sling, which keeps a six-pack on your shoulder and frosty for hours. Highlights include a tough 600D polyester fabric with a DWR finish, an adjustable crossbody strap and two MOLLE quick-clip systems for attaching accessories, plus a removable individual insulated bevy holder so you always have a cold one (quite literally) handy.
MicromilspecMicromilspec x Black Badger Broken Hour
Micromilspec and Black Badger team up once more for a unique collab that incorporates storytelling into the watch itself. Following up on last year’s “Project Sabotage” collab between the Norwegian tool watch brand and designer James Thompson’s “creative identity,” the Micromilspec x Black Badger Broken Hour follows its eponymous mammalian space pirate’s travels through time, where his watch has suffered physical damage during his journey, represented by a broken hour hand, damaged GMT hand and blasted date window. Telling the full story of the watch’s adventure is a special 12-page comic book included with the watch. The Micromilspec x Black Badger Broken Hour will be available for one day only, on May 29, only on Micromilspec’s website.
