Nike Vomero 18 Running Shoes
Given the size of the heel, you'd be forgiven for thinking Nike's Vomero 18 running shoes were designed for hardcore racers. Instead, their dual-density midsole of lightweight ZoomX foam and responsive ReactX foam is designed to give everyday runners the most cushioned ride possible. The upper is made from engineered mesh for breathability, while the plush tongue and lining boost comfort. On the bottom, the outsole sports a pod system with a new traction pattern for added agility and smoother heel-to-toe transitions. Now available in an eye-popping bright green, orange, and silver colorway.

Jack Archer Jetsetter Tech Pants
Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Tech Pants are a prime example. Crafted from premium Rebound fabric sourced from Japan, they're stretchy, wrinkle-free, anti-odor, and stain-resistant, making them great for travel, able to stretch and recover so they never warp or sag. The fit provides room where it's needed but is slim where it's not, and is enhanced by a diamond-shaped gusset that prevents tightness in the crotch and the curved-waist design that provides a lift to the backside. Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Available in Slim or Straight Fits, they're now in four new, limited-time colors: Bering Sea, True White, Bourbon Brown, and True Black.

What Are You?
We like to think of ourselves as one person. But this one person is made up of billions of autonomous cells, dying, being replaced, and performing their various functions with no conscious input from you. You are not actually you. So what are you?
You Are Two
We may have one brain, but that one brain shows signs of having two — intelligences? Consciousnesses? Two distinct personalities? Originally a treatment for seizures, splitting the two hemispheres of the brain seems to release the right hemisphere from its speech-capable overlord.
