Sometimes bigger really is better. With a 24"-wide cooking area, the Ooni Koda 2 Max can easily cook massive 20" New York-style pies, or handle up to three 10" pizzas simultaneously. That size also makes room for two independently controlled gas burners and two 3/4′′ cordierite pizza stones, creating dual cooking zones. A front-mounted digital temperature display and app connectivity make monitoring the oven simple, G2 Gas Technology with tapered flames delivers more consistent heat, and the glass visor is removable to allow for cooking larger dishes. Available in propane and natural gas versions.

Sight is widely recognized as our strongest sense, but the sense of smell might be the most impactful. What is pleasing to the eye can easily be let down by scent — which Contieri wants to prevent with its Dinner Mirth perfume. An initial hit of incense and grapefruit grabs attention, warmed by bergamot and amber. Earthy notes of patchouli and rugged birch are finished with a base of musk, ambergris, ambroxan, and oud — all for an evening not soon to be forgotten.
An ode to Nike's original innovator, Bill Bowerman, who developed sneakers while Phil Knight ran the business, the new Nike Pegasus 41 Blueprint features nods to the former's efforts to always push the boundaries of what was possible, especially at the time. And now you can, too, whether you're committed to a high-mileage plan or you tackle your low-lift runs on cruise control. "Bowerman Prototype" reads on the tongue tag and the insole, while the speckled Swoosh logo represents the unfinished nature of the design. This release is fully-fledged, though, with its featherweight mesh upper for better mobility and breathability, new dual Air Zoom units and a ReactX foam midsole for improved energy return, all built around the MR-10 Last, the most consistent in terms of sizing. These sneakers do manage to look back and ahead at the same time, though, by spotlighting the signature waffle outsole developed by Bowerman and pledging commitment to Nike's Move to Zero campaign, which ensures all new products use some ratio of recycled materials from post-consumer and/or post-manufactured waste.
