Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar Rally Car

The Porsche 959 was built to prove Porsche's endurance credentials, on and off-road. At the 1986 Paris-Dakar rally, the three 911-esque shapes stood out in a fleet of trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles about to tackle the race. This 959 finished second to the winning entry, also a 959, with Jacky Ickx and Claude Brasseur behind the wheel. Proving that endurance isn't just a catchword, Porsche has finished a complete restoration of the car, making it ready to compete again. Porsche Heritage and Porsche Classic joined to restore the car, which is part of a display featuring all three Paris-Dakar 959s. The car had never been disassembled since returning from the rally, and the team managed to replace as little as possible while keeping the patina of crossing over 11,000 miles of brutal terrain. Jacky Ickx was the first person to drive the car after its overhaul in a snow-covered stone quarry — a fitting tribute to two motorsports legends.

Nike Alphafly 3 Road Racing Shoes

Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

Collars & Co. Quarter Zip Pullovers

Collars & Co. got its start making polos masquerading as dress shirts. While they look good under jackets, the performance polos look equally as good under that most versatile of pieces, the quarter-zip pullover. Equally as suitable for a chilly morning round of golf as a breezy sunset dinner, they come in a variety of styles, including reversible styles, stretchy, wrinkle-resistant golf models, cashmere and merino blends, and even cable-knit offerings for cooler weather. No matter which one you choose, it's sure to become a wardrobe staple.

With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock ensures every inch of your house is clean. The new model features a Flexi Arm Design with an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, while an Extra Edge Mopping System cleans along edges.
