The James Brand Lowe Wallet
The James Brand has spent years refining modern knives, pens and tools—now it turns that same precision to one of the most essential everyday objects—the wallet. CNC-machined from aluminum, the Lowe is built to reset the standard, staying impossibly slim while carrying everything you need in your pocket. The aluminum shell naturally blocks RFID and is wrapped in a molded silicone band for cash or overflow tokens, giving the Lowe just enough flex without compromising its minimal geometry. It's a study in restraint, crafted for those who demand function in its purest form.

Nike ACG Izy
Born from Nike's All Conditions Gear lineage, the ACG Izy takes the moccasin's timeless ease and reshapes it for modern explorers. It slips on in seconds, locks in with a durable build, and rides on cushioning that turns concrete or trail into a pillow. The outsole grips with confidence, the midsole rebounds to the moon and back, while the silhouette refuses to chase trends—built instead to outlast them. The Izy isn't just about getting from point A to point B; it's about making the journey effortless, with comfort and style in every step.
