PLQR Smart Sticky Note
Private Label QR turns ordinary household labels into dynamic digital reference points, using durable QR stickers that link physical objects to editable information accessible from any smartphone camera. Once attached to a box, appliance, container, suitcase, or keepsake, each label can store notes, photos, instructions, contact details, or organizational data that can be updated anytime without replacing the sticker itself. The system feels especially useful for the kind of real-world friction most smart-home products ignore, from labeling moving boxes and organizing pantry goods to leaving appliance instructions for Airbnb guests or preserving the stories tied to family heirlooms. With no app required and built-in controls for private, public, or group visibility, the platform lands somewhere between modern inventory management and a digital memory layer for everyday objects.

Nike Air Force 1 Vibram
The Air Force 1 has spent more than four decades proving it belongs almost anywhere. Now Nike takes the iconic silhouette back to one of the ideas that helped shape it. Originally inspired in part by the Nike Approach hiking boot, Bruce Kilgore's legendary design returns with a rugged update featuring a durable textile upper and a Vibram outsole built to tackle terrain beyond the pavement. Nike Air cushioning preserves the everyday comfort that made the AF1 a cultural icon, while the trail-ready sole adds dependable traction for mountain hikes, weekend escapes, and everything in between. It is a fitting evolution for Nike's best-selling sneaker, reminding us that the Air Force 1 has always been built to explore beyond the court.

The Punisher
Unlike those other superheroes, he's a vigilante that has no qualms with killing. Marvel's Punisher is getting his own TV series after his guest appearance in Daredevil. Jon Bernthal reprises his role in the MCU spinoff, coming to Netflix in 2017.
Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond
Even comedic icons have idols. In Jim Carey's case, it's Andy Kaufman. Carey got the chance to be his hero in the 1999 film Man on the Moon. But he didn't just portray Kaufman, he actually became him, resulting in some insane off-screen shenanigans. So bad, Universal has kept the behind-the-scenes footage locked up for nearly 20 years. On November 17th, these shots will finally see the light of day via this Netflix documentary.

MGMT / Little Dark Age
MGMT is back with a fourth album, and with that comes the release of their title track. The song boasts their signature psychedelic sound but with a slightly more sinister vibe. Pair that with the creepy, goth-inspired visuals of David MacNutt and Nathaniel Axel, and it'll be the spookiest video you'll see this Halloween. Little Dark Age, the band's first record in four years, is due out in 2018.
Dubai Police Hoverbike
We still don't have hoverboards, but police in the city of Dubai now have hoverbikes. Although they can only hit speeds of 40 mph, they do have the advantage of reaching heights of 16 feet. These flying police cruisers are sure to fit in nicely with their more traditional McLaren, Bentley, and Mercedes police cars.

Salt & Stone Natural Skincare Collection
Salt & Stone occupies the increasingly rare space where performance body care and luxury fragrance genuinely overlap. Founded in Los Angeles by former professional snowboarder Nima Jalali, the brand was born from years spent battling sun, wind, cold, and altitude, resulting in a collection of body-care essentials designed to work as hard as they smell good. Its formulas combine naturally derived actives from the sea and mountains with sophisticated, gender-neutral scent profiles that extend across deodorants, body washes, lotions, oils, creams, and mists, creating a layered ritual rather than a collection of standalone products. Signature fragrances like Santal & Vetiver, Bergamot & Hinoki, and Black Rose & Oud feel more akin to niche perfumery than traditional grooming products, while ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, seaweed extracts, spirulina, and prebiotics keep the focus firmly on skin health. The result is a brand that treats daily body care less like maintenance and more like a sensory ritual built for people who demand equal parts wellness, performance, and scent.

Nike V5 RNR
Not every sneaker has to chase the next big innovation. Sometimes the right choice is the one you reach for every morning. Nike's V5 RNR leans into the layered aesthetics of early-2000s running shoes while prioritizing everyday comfort over race-day performance. A breathable mesh upper paired with synthetic leather overlays deliver a technical look, accented by metallic details and a signature 3D Swoosh. Underfoot, a chunky yet lightweight foam midsole and plush collar cushioning keep long days comfortable, while a rubber outsole with Y2K-inspired grooves provides dependable traction. Designed for daily wear while retaining athletic performance, the V5 RNR proves that retro design still belongs in the everyday rotation.
