You might not be able to buy a new DeLorean car anymore — at least, not until they start selling the Electric DeLorean — but that doesn't mean you can't buy a set of wheels bearing the iconic name. DeLorean Bikes ($5,500) are officially sanctioned by the DMC, and feature an Italian-made Columbus XCR tube frame — in stainless steel, of course — as well as a belt drive transmission, an 11-speed internally-geared hub, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, a luminescent coating on the wheels, an Italian-made gel saddle, and a full carbon fork. The Anyday model is available now, with Speed and Cruise models to follow.
There are simple ping pong tables that double as beer pong tables — with no worries about the sticky, smelly aftermath. Then there are Eleven Ravens Ping Pong Tables ($TBA). Straddling the line between art and sport, these gorgeous tables sport strikingly unique designs, which are created by hand by skilled artisans in a moisture-controlled environment using high-quality wood materials in order to maintain the highest quality possible. Which also leads us to believe that they cost every bit as spectacular as they look — but that's just a guess.
Sure, it's shape is familiar, but make no mistake — the Eva Solo Grill Globe (€400; roughly $500) isn't your average Walmart special. The dome-shaped stainless steel lid is integrated into the unit and sports a built-in thermometer, and can also slide open and be moved to shelter your fire from the wind, while the black aluminum bottom half of the grill rests atop the slender stainless steel legs and keeps your coals comfy and warm. Grill cover optional.
Just because the temperature's rising doesn't mean you have to show off your underwhelming calves. Taylor Stitch Summer Weight Denim ($130) is meant to be worn when the weather gets warm. Handmade in San Francisco from 8 ounce Kaihara Mills indigo selvedge denim, they feature a tailored-but-not-quite-skinny fit, a medium rise with some added shape to keep the back waistband against your skin and some added room for your bait and tackle, and an understated 5-pocket design that'll look great with damn near anything.
Behold the awesome old school goodness of these vintage-printed, buttery-soft Homage T-Shirts. They turn back the clock with shout outs to eclectic moments and personalities in sports, music, politics and popular culture. From Bruce Lee to Larry Bird, the tees tell stories of triumph, individualism and hustle. Pay Homage.
Used to be that if you wanted wood-based headphones, you weren't getting noise cancelation — and vice versa. The Tivoli Radio Silenz Headphones ($TBA) are set to change all that. Sporting solid wood ear cups that house 40mm high performance drivers, the Radio Silenz feature an in-line box that holds a single AA battery and advanced noise cancelation technology, as well as a unique defeat button that temporarily switches off the cancelation and lowers the volume so you can hear the pilot telling you something unimportant. Other features include a folding design, an included travel pouch, and your choice of black ash, walnut, or cherry finishes.
Most grilling tool sets include three basic tools: a spatula, tongs, and fork. The Stake 3-in-1 BBQ Tool ($30) combines all three into a single, grill-dominating tool that features leaf spring tongs, a slide-out fork that hides away when not in use so you're not stabbing your food — or guests — accidentally, and a locking mechanism for the wooden handles to convert the entire mess into a spatula. Happy grilling! [Scouted by Will]
Fan of the Nike+ system but spend more time at the course than you do on the track? Say hello to the Nike Golf 360º App ($Free). This slick new app is divided up into four sections — My Game, that lets you track your scoring and statistics, My Swing, where you can compare and upload video of your swing, and even receive personal coaching from Nike Swoosh Staff members, My Body, which helps you get into golf shape, and My Gear, where you can keep track of what's in your bag and receive recommendations on new gear — all of which sync with a companion website. Think of it as your own personal clubhouse — without the overpriced hot dogs and free mini-pencil bins.
Ditch your garish riding gear and step up to the understated elegance of Search And State Cycling Apparel ($125). Handmade in the USA, the collection includes a jersey made from lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying microbial fabric that's designed to withstand repeated washings, and a jacket that's waterproof, windproof, and constructed from Scholler C-Change material that serves as a climate membrane, closing up when temperatures are low and opening in response to warmth. Other features include Riri zippers, rear pockets, and an appropriately tailored fit. [via]
While it might be a little early to start putting together a collection of Nolan's work — his highest-profile film to date, The Dark Knight Rises, doesn't come out until July — but that doesn't mean that the Christopher Nolan Director's Collection ($35) isn't worth picking up. Included in the collection are Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Inception, Memento, and Insomnia, or more than enough cinematic goodness to hold you over until it's time to watch Batman's final big-screen showdown.
Finding a 40-year-old ride that's as good as new? Extremely difficult. Finding one that's even better than when it rolled off the lot? Nearly impossible. Yet that's the case with this lovingly restored 1972 Datsun 240Z ($125,000). Coated in an attention-grabbing lime green, it features a 100% stock interior in perfect condition thanks to every piece having been replaced or restored, a body that's been completely restored by the experts at Miller Brothers Hot Rod Barn, a suspension that's full of upgrades from Arizona Z Car, and a lightweight SR20DET engine that's been tuned for two settings depending on your mood: 320 hp when you're cruising, and a raucous 437 when it's time to do some real motoring.

No, they're not the best-looking sneakers we've seen — but they're not supposed to be. Inspired by NASA's exploration of Mars, the NikeCraft Tom Sachs Mars Yard Shoe ($385) is designed to handle the rugged terrain of the space agency's simulated Mars Yard in Pasadena, and does so with outsoles taken from Nike's special forces boot, vulcan fabric from the Mars Excursion Rover's airbags, and detailing from the Apollo Lunar Overshoes. So whether you're simulating a trip to space or simply spaced out, they have you covered. [Scouted by Ryan]
We've covered tons of bags over the years, but nearly all of them suffer from the same issue: their designs are static, and can't adapt to your specific needs. The Mission Workshop Arkiv Field Pack ($210 and up) can. Thanks to the unique Arkiv system that lets you easily attach mission-specific pouches to the outside of the bag, the waterproof, mil-spec Field Pack offers ample storage for anything you might need, while letting you cut extra weight by removing the pouches meant for items you don't. Made in the USA and available in two sizes with black, dark gray, or waxed canvas exteriors.
