Brixton Board Shorts Collection
Built for long days that start in the surf and end somewhere near the bar, Brixton's latest trunk lineup balances heritage styling with modern performance without leaning too hard into either. The Blitz Boardshort is the more aggressive option, a lightweight stretch trunk cut from quick-dry polyester and spandex with a water-repellent finish, invisible zip pocket, drainage eyelet, and bold graphic treatments that push beyond the standard washed-out beach palette. Available in both 19-inch and 21-inch outseams, it is engineered to move cleanly from paddle-outs to pool decks with minimal fuss. Countering it is the Classic Trunk 17", a stripped-back staple with clean lines, minimal branding, and an easy shorter cut that feels rooted in vintage surf culture while still delivering dependable quick-dry performance. Together, the collection hits the sweet spot between technical utility and everyday wearability, exactly where Brixton tends to do its best work.

Nike Vomero 18 Shoe
Nike launches the Vomero 18 with a stacked cushioning setup designed for longer miles and everyday training. The silhouette combines ZoomX foam layered above ReactX foam to create a softer ride while maintaining responsiveness underfoot. Additional outsole pods are positioned at high-contact zones to improve agility and smooth out heel-to-toe transitions across pavement, treadmills, and track surfaces. A padded tongue and reinforced upper add structure to the fit, while the retro-inspired colorway pushes the Vomero beyond running and into everyday wear equally built for early morning mileage, coffee stops, and city streets afterward.

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.
