The Air Jordan 4 debuted in 1989 in classic colorways like White Cement and Bred. The latest release amps up the retro silhouette with a bold pallet. Its white leather upper is contrasted with vivid sulfur on the floating eye stays, padded collar, and sole details. Anthracite highlights the mesh details, while coconut milk on the heel and toe gives the sneaker a vintage effect. Available in women's sizes, the Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro Vivid Sulfur will drop on April 6, 2024.

Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.
