Duke Cannon Supply Co. Puck Soap
Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.

Original Marty McFly
File this one under: Mind-blowing. Robert Zemeckis shot the first five weeks of Back to the Future with Eric Stoltz playing Marty McFly, before realizing he sucked and brought in Michael J. Fox. More here.
This could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum, and destroy the entire universe. Granted, that's a worse case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized, limited to merely our own galaxy.

Nike Tennis Classic RPM
Nike revisits its court heritage with the Tennis Classic RPM, reworking the country club staple through the lens of 1970s tennis culture and modern streetwear. The silhouette retains its low-profile shape while introducing textured uppers inspired by vintage watchbands and luxury accessories, giving the shoe a more layered look across the toe box and side panels. Gold detailing sharpens the contrast against the black full-grain leather construction. Underneath, layered cushioning and a foam midsole provide a responsive ride, while a stitched rubber cupsole and herringbone outsole maintain the traction and durability expected from a court shoe. Equally suited for early mornings at the tennis courts of Santa Monica and late nights through Chicago's streets, balancing classic sport design with an elevated but casual presence.
