Commissioned by Wayne Enterprises and Uncrate, bespoke leather sporting goods atelier Modest Vintage Player - MVP for short - has produced their famed heavy punching bag with elevated updates and accents. A carbon effect panel around the bag adds dimension and "shot placement" for sparring sessions, and matching carbon effect panels add strength to the chain supports while elevating the look overall. The heavy bag itself is the 4-foot model, ideal for most body heights, in deep black, full-grain cowhide leather with a leather "shoe-lace" style closure at the top. Held by a bronze coated brass chain and stainless anchor chain, the Wayne Enterprises x MVP Executive Punching Bag is durable enough for use in commercial boxing gyms, while elegant enough to be hung in a high-rise executive office for real-world usage or simply decor. The bag ships unfilled, and we recommend a combination of scrap fabric or clothing layered with 4-5 small sandbags for extra weight to your exact preference. Once filled, the bag should weigh around 70 pounds, although it can support more as desired for heavy usage.

Glean is bringing a more practical approach to enterprise AI, giving organizations a centralized way to search, understand, and act on the information scattered across their business. Its enterprise search creates a contextual knowledge graph that powers AI applications and agents, helping employees find information faster while automating repetitive tasks that can quietly consume hours of the workday. No-code tools and personalized AI assistance also make the platform accessible to employees regardless of technical expertise, providing a more secure and manageable alternative to the growing patchwork of shadow AI tools. The result is an enterprise AI platform designed to turn fragmented company knowledge into something employees can actually use.

Luca Faloni expands its summer-ready layering lineup with a lightweight linen overshirt designed for warm-weather versatility. Cut from pure linen and crafted in Northern Italy, the piece features a relaxed straight-fit silhouette, cutaway collar, and breathable construction suited for transitional layering from cool mornings to late evening dinners. The natural texture of the linen gives the overshirt a lived-in character while maintaining the refined tailoring associated with Italian menswear. Lightweight enough for Mediterranean summers yet structured enough for everyday city wear, the overshirt moves easily between coastal escapes, café terraces, and everyday travel.
