Salt & Stone occupies the increasingly rare space where performance body care and luxury fragrance genuinely overlap. Founded in Los Angeles by former professional snowboarder Nima Jalali, the brand was born from years spent battling sun, wind, cold, and altitude, resulting in a collection of body-care essentials designed to work as hard as they smell good. Its formulas combine naturally derived actives from the sea and mountains with sophisticated, gender-neutral scent profiles that extend across deodorants, body washes, lotions, oils, creams, and mists, creating a layered ritual rather than a collection of standalone products. Signature fragrances like Santal & Vetiver, Bergamot & Hinoki, and Black Rose & Oud feel more akin to niche perfumery than traditional grooming products, while ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, seaweed extracts, spirulina, and prebiotics keep the focus firmly on skin health. The result is a brand that treats daily body care less like maintenance and more like a sensory ritual built for people who demand equal parts wellness, performance, and scent.
The Air Force 1 has spent more than four decades proving it belongs almost anywhere. Now Nike takes the iconic silhouette back to one of the ideas that helped shape it.

Nike Air cushioning preserves the everyday comfort that made the AF1 a cultural icon, while the trail-ready sole adds dependable traction for mountain hikes, weekend escapes, and everything in between. It is a fitting evolution for Nike's best-selling sneaker, reminding us that the Air Force 1 has always been built to explore beyond the court.
