Guided by the philosophy of Colin Chapman—"simplify, then add lightness"—Nike strips back the design with the Ava X. The silhouette focuses on weight reduction without sacrificing structure, pairing a textile upper with synthetic leather overlays for durability. Underfoot, a Cushion 3.0 midsole provides responsive cushioning, while a high-abrasion outsole adds grip across varied conditions. The result is a lightweight trainer built with a more streamlined, functional approach.

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.
