Danner Overlook
Made to move from the street to the trails, the Danner Overlook is the ideal go-anywhere shoe. It features a sneaker silhouette crafted from a breathable EnduroKnit upper that keeps feet cool during urban exploration while still delivering Danner-approved durability. Lightweight enough for all-day wear, a water-resistant coating repels unpredictable elements, even if it's just your morning coffee, and a dual-density midsole provides comfort in the middle and stability around the edges to keep you moving on uneven terrain. If you find yourself off the beaten path, triangle lugs give the outsole boot-like traction on any surface.

Susan Kare Apple Pirate Flag
"It's better to be a pirate than to join the Navy." Steve Jobs opened the Mac team's January 1983 retreat with these words, hoping to retain a rebel spirit within the growing group. Later that year, the team was forced to relocate to a larger building, and programmer Steve Capps had the bright idea of flying a pirate flag above the building in a show of solidarity. While Capps sewed the black cloth for the flag, it was designer Susan Kare who painted the skull and crossbones, finished off with a rainbow Apple logo eyepatch. The original flew over the building for more than a year and has since been lost — but now you have a chance to purchase one of your own. Hand-painted by Susan Kare in her California studio, each flag measures 3' x 5', is meant for indoor display only, and is limited to a maximum of 500 examples, all of which will be slightly unique in appearance.
