The First Sunglasses on the Moon Are Back with a Stunning New Lunar-Inspired Look

American Optical’s Original Pilot aviator sunglasses were the first-ever shades to go to the moon. Now, ahead of NASA’s return to the moon during the Artemis II mission and in celebration of a total lunar eclipse on March 3, the brand is launching a new special edition of those very same shades. They boast many of the original’s signature elements, like bayonet temples and matte-finished metal frames, as well as new blood-red AOLite SunVogue nylon lenses. There’s just one catch: only 999 pairs will ever be made.

Crafted with Kennet Grain tumbled leather, the Bristol Loafer is the latest collaboration between Clarks and 8th St by Ronnie Fieg. The silhouette features gold horsebit hardware, classic welt stitching and and a Vibram outsole for all-weather traction.

An Italian company by the name of Angelelli Automobili has unveiled its concept of a highly specialized track toy called the 91X Project. Though it shares some visual similarities with Porsche’s 918 hypercar, it’s a very different beast under the hood. Angelelli plans to offer interested buyers the choice of either a V8, a V10 or a V12, and the chassis will be built with state-of-the-art 3D printing technology. Thanks to the incorporation of trick AAA adaptive aerodynamics, the 91X Project is claimed to be good for a top speed in excess of 217 mph. Should it actually see the road, just 50 are slated for production.

Norda’s recently launched Spring/Summer 2026 footwear collection includes this new take on the brand’s popular ultra distance shoe. The fresh “Abyss” colorway is inspired by natural forms, and features an abstract, two-tone camouflage print on its midsoles. A blend of neutral base tones paired with black bring a grounded energy to the technical shoe. The 001A Abyss retains all of the technical features that make the shoe a standout, including the seamless Dyneema upper and an exclusive Vibram soleplate.

The 20-year-old German brand updates its flagship enduro mountain bike for everyday trail riding, highlighted by shorter-travel, more responsive suspension and roughly a pound of weight savings. The new model boasts a 160mm fork, 145mm of rear suspension travel, a claimed starting weight of 31.7 pounds (for a size medium of the carbon version; there’s also a heavier but more affordable aluminum-framed edition) and the versatility to handle touring, climbing, technical descents and the occasional jaunt to the bike park.

This funky update to the ever-popular 1906 layers on detailing like uncut fabric strips running through the “N” logo and hanging off the side, an extra flap of metallic-coated leather below the 1906 stamp and faux-repair stitching near the collar. The lace loop on the toe box is skewed to the side, and a suede panel is stitched over the leather panel on the vamp. This intricate update is available in blue, tan and a combination of red, sea foam green and gray.
