Nike React SFB Carbon Low Trail Shoes

Combining elements of tactical boots with training shoes, the Nike React SFB Carbon Low is built for outdoor pursuits. It's built with Flyplate technology that uses a full-length carbon fiber plate to optimize stride, support the Achilles, and protect from sharp rocks. Lightweight React foam provides cushioning and energy return, while the mesh upper has a durable fabric midfoot overlay, heavy-duty stow-away laces, and a solid rubber toe reinforcement. It all sits atop an outsole of hand and sticky rubbers with rubber teeth in the arch for added grip on challenging terrain.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra Robot Vacuum + Mop

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. A Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify and avoid obstacles in its path, and a PreciSense LiDAR navigation system scans rooms to create a map and determine the most efficient route. It upgrades suction power to 10,000Pa to pick up even more dust and dirt, a Carpet+ Boost System ups the hair pick-up rate by 30%, and the mopping system scrubs floors 4,000 times per second, detecting carpets and rugs along the way. With built-in voice assistance, users can start cleaning with a simple command, and when the job is done, the vacuum will retreat to its dock to automatically empty, wash, dry, and recharge itself. The S8 MaxV Ultra will be available April 22, 2024, and for a limited time, get a triple gift pack valued at $1,000 with your purchase.

LEGO The Mandalorian Helmet

The Mandalorian's most recognizable feature is without a doubt his battle helmet. Star Wars fans can recreate the iconic piece of Mando's Beskar armor with LEGO's 584-piece set. The replica mimics the sheen of Mandalorian steel with drum-lacquered pieces, while bricks made in varying shades of gray form the unique silhouette. It sits on a brick-built display stand and is finished with a co-branded nameplate, and is an enjoyably challenging build even for true AFOLs.

LEGO Mclaren Solus GT & F1 LM Set

McLaren changed the automotive landscape forever when it introduced the F1 in 1989. Designed as the ultimate road car, the F1 would go on to be successful in racing as well, winning the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans outright. Over 30 years later, the McLaren Solus carries the legacy started with the F1, bringing McLaren's racing experience to bear in a track-only car with performance figures that rival racing thoroughbreds. Both cars are now available in a single Lego kit, with F1 in its LM specification, and both cars wearing McLaren's trademark orange livery. The 581-piece kit features two minifig drivers and shows just how much technology has changed over the last three decades.
