It is made with 17-ounce British Millerian waxed canvas, vegetable-tanned leather and YKK zippers. An optional leather shoulder strap is sold separately for $54.

Weighing just 6.5oz, this is the lightest and fastest running sneaker the Pennsylvania brand has ever made and its premium pricing reflects that.

Part of Ocean Bottle’s new Tidal Tones Collection, which celebrates World Oceans Day with four hues inspired by tidal pools, the Peak Brew in Kelp Green brings a fresh perspective to responsible drinkware. The 20-ounce bottle is made from 90-percent recycled stainless steel, and is designed to reduce reliance on single-use plastics. The bottle houses an embedded NFC chip, which tracks refills over time. The Peak Brew bottle is designed to stay hot for nine hours … which offers plenty of time to sip your morning coffee.
Bangalore Watch CompanyBangalore Watch Company Peninsula Carbon
Can a watch play a role in saving the planet? Probably not, but don’t tell that to the Peninsula Carbon from India’s Bangalore Watch Company. The watch’s dial is made from a combination of forged carbon fiber and recovered carbon black, a recycled form of elemental carbon sourced from end-of-life tires and other rubber products. The material’s production reduces carbon emissions, and its use in a product such as this 44mm automatic watch, which is the first of its kind, is an excellent use case for further applications.
MazdaMazda x Spingle SP-MZD Driving Shoes
Following the debut of their collaborative SP-MX5 driving shoe, Mazda and Spingle have teamed up once again on a new, more refined variant called the SP-MZD. Though the shoe features the same last as its predecessor, it now comes in premium kangaroo leather. Along with a black-over-black colorway, Mazda has also spun up a “sport tan” beige option as an homage to the upholstery featured in the new CX-5.
