Nike Alphafly 3 Road Racing Shoes
Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra Robot Vacuum + Mop
With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock ensures every inch of your house is clean. The new model features a Flexi Arm Design with an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, while an Extra Edge Mopping System cleans along edges. A Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify and avoid obstacles in its path, and a PreciSense LiDAR navigation system scans rooms to create a map and determine the most efficient route. It upgrades suction power to 10,000Pa to pick up even more dust and dirt, a Carpet+ Boost System ups the hair pick-up rate by 30%, and the mopping system scrubs floors 4,000 times per second, detecting carpets and rugs along the way. With built-in voice assistance, users can start cleaning with a simple command, and when the job is done, the vacuum will retreat to its dock to automatically empty, wash, dry, and recharge itself. The S8 MaxV Ultra will be available April 22, 2024, and for a limited time, get a triple gift pack valued at $1,000 with your purchase.

Candyman
Nearly 30 years after the hooked urban legend slashed through cinemas, Jordan Peele is rebooting Candyman. Dubbed a spiritual sequel the original, the film goes back to the same Chicago neighborhood. Gentrification has changed the entire area but one thing still remains — a honey-covered boogeyman is still haunting those who say his name five times. Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and the original Candyman himself Tony Todd, the film will go to theaters in September.

Collars & Co. Quarter Zip Pullovers
Collars & Co. got its start making polos masquerading as dress shirts.

Ben Folds / 2020
2020 will be a year for the not-so-great memories, if not the record books. A year marked by protests and a pandemic, 2020 will go down as a cosmic crossroad of near-disaster that usually only comes one at a time, and Ben Folds captures the mood perfectly in his new single "2020".
Kids See Ghosts
